Projector Setup

Power

Plug the AC/DC power adapter (included) into a standard wall outlet and the DC power input on the rear of the unit. After connecting power, please allow approximately 5 seconds to pass before powering the unit ON.

Projector Placement

For best results, place the projector in a dark room or other dimly lit area. The projector will display a screen size from 30" to 150". Adjust the projector angle and distance to best suit your needs.

Use the unit with a dedicated projector screen for best picture resolution. If placing the projector behind the viewing screen (unit in front of/projecting toward viewers), a special screen will be required. Projector screens are not included. If you are not using the unit with a screen, a smooth, white or lightly colored surface will provide the best results.

Angle Adjustment

Use the Angle Adjustment Knob to fine tune the projector's height.

Viewing Options

The projector can be used to project onto a wall or screen. It can be mounted from a ceiling or placed on a table. Be sure to aim the remote at the sensor on the front or rear of the projector. See page 6 for sensor locations on the projector. When projecting from the rear position, a special screen will be needed (not included) to display the image.

Pairing to Bluetooth Wireless Speakers or Sound Bar

NOTE: Bluetooth is OFF by default when the projector first powers ON. Bluetooth can be turned ON or OFF from the OPTIONS Menu.

1. Enable Bluetooth on the receiver (external speakers, sound bar, etc.) to which you wish to connect. Devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers are not Bluetooth receivers and will not connect to the projector. To eliminate confusion, you should disable Bluetooth on all receivers to which you do not wish to connect.
2. Power on the projector and make sure the projector's Bluetooth is ON (see note above). The projector will begin searching for nearby Bluetooth devices to connect to, and will automatically initiate pairing.
3. When successfully paired, the Bluetooth receiver should indicate it is connected, usually with a chime or other audible noise. Check the user manual on your Bluetooth receiver for more information.
4. When successfully connected, the projector will display the Bluetooth receiver's name on the top right portion of the Main Menu screen, and sound played from the projector will be heard through the Bluetooth receiver.

After initial pairing, the projector and the Bluetooth speakers will stay paired unless unpaired manually by the user, or erased due to a reset of either device. If this occurs or you find either unit is unable to connect, repeat the above steps.

HDMI

HDMI offers superior sound and picture quality, and is the easiest way to play media from a computer, Blu-Ray player, or other device with an HDMI output.
