What to Check First
- A clicking sound indicates the dial has reached its limit.
- Stop turning it immediately to prevent damage to the projector.
- If the projected image looks blurry, slowly turn the focus knob while looking at the top center of the screen. If the image is not positioned correctly, use the lens shift dials to move it vertically or horizontally. If the image is still distorted, use the Keystone feature to correct its shape.
- The projected image may look blurry if the focus is not adjusted correctly. Additionally, the image may appear too high, too low, or off-center if the projector lens is not aligned with the screen.
- Press the power button and wait for the projected image to appear on the screen.
- Focusing on this specific area helps you achieve the most accurate overall picture clarity.
- Gently rotate the knob until the text or images on the screen become sharp and clear.
- Check the overall picture to ensure neither the left nor the right side is blurry, and find the optimal focus point.
- Hold the device securely, as any movement makes it difficult to set the focus accurately.
- Use the lens shift dials to move the projected image vertically or horizontally without moving the projector.
