Troubleshooting

Projector won't turn on

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the projector and a working outlet. Check if the standby indicator is lit. Try a different power outlet.

No image displayed

Verify that the correct input source is selected on the projector. Check that HDMI cables are securely connected at both ends. Ensure the connected device is powered on and outputting a signal.

Image is blurry

Adjust the focus ring on the projector until the image is sharp. Ensure the projector is at the optimal distance from the screen as per the throw ratio specifications. Clean the lens if it appears smudged.

Poor sound quality

Check the volume settings on both the projector and the connected source device. Ensure the Bongiovi DPS settings are enabled and configured correctly within the projector's audio menu. If using external speakers, check their connections.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Restart your router and the projector. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi network and that the network password is entered correctly. Check the projector's Wi-Fi settings and try reconnecting.

App streaming is slow or buffering

Ensure a stable and strong Wi-Fi connection. Close unnecessary apps running in the background on the projector. If possible, try a wired Ethernet connection if available or check your internet service provider's status.

No Ethernet LAN port for wired network connection
Contrast ratio, while high, might be a factor for purists comparing to high-end home cinema projectors

Power Up: Connect the power cable and turn on the projector. Follow the on-screen prompts for initial setup, including Wi-Fi connection and Android TV login.
Image Adjustment: Use the focus ring and zoom controls to fine-tune image sharpness and size. Adjust keystone correction if necessary, though vertical lens shift is preferred to maintain image quality.
