Connect a video source via HDMI or other supported inputs, switch on the unit and use the auto vertical keystone and 1.1x zoom to align the image. Adjust picture mode and brightness settings as needed for your room lighting. For best results, use a neutral-coloured projection surface and reduce ambient light during viewing.

Recommendations

For longer LED life and consistent image quality, operate the projector in a clean, well-ventilated area, avoid blocking ventilation ports, and perform periodic dust cleaning according to the user manual. If stronger sound is required, connect external speakers to the source device or audio output.
