BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

1. Connect to an External Bluetooth Speaker

Except for the wired 3.5mm audio output port connection, you can also connect a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphones to this projector via the Bluetooth connection.

Step 1: Turn on your Bluetooth device and make it ready for a Bluetooth connection.

Step 2: Go to Homepage > Settings 🎨 > Bluetooth Setting to turn on the Bluetooth and search for available Bluetooth devices. Afterward, select your Bluetooth device and pair it with the projector.

IMPORTANT:

1 Compared with the wired connection to a speaker, BT wireless connection spends more time processing digital audio data, converting said data to an audio signal, and streaming the signal. There may be a delay or slight lag on audio due to signal interference.

As a result, the sound on the speaker may not be in sync with the image on the projector, especially when you are using wireless screen mirroring with WiFi and BT wireless connection at the same time.

If you are experiencing this situation, please check the following options to improve audio quality:

* Instead of using wireless screen mirroring with WiFi and BT wireless connection at the same time, we recommend using wired screen mirroring and BT connection or using HD connection via the provided HD cable and BT connection simultaneously. If you still want to use wireless screen mirroring, it is recommended to output the audio via a wired speaker.

* Move your BT device closer to the projector.

* Keep the projector and your BT device away from other BT devices to avoid interference.

* You may be able to adjust the latency (Lip Sync) on your device which is playing the video. The way to adjust the latency varies with different devices; please consult it from the device manufacturer.

Due to the compatibility issue between BT speakers/headphones and the projector, few BT devices may not be paired with the projector via BT wireless connection. Please contact us at [e-mail] for further assistance.

You can connect your mobile device to this projector via a Bluetooth connection and use it as Bluetooth speaker.
