Connecting a device with HDMI or USB-C with DisplayPort
Using an HDMI or USB-C Gen3.1 cable you can connect a device that is equipped with HDMI or DisplayPort capabilities to broadcast videos and
images on the projector.
To connect a device with HDMI or USB-C with DisplayPort:
1. Connect the device to the HDMI or USB-C port on the projector. A pop-up notification will appear indicating that a device is connected.
2. Confirm whether you want to project video from the device. The video from the device will be displayed once the signal from the device is
detected.
3. Use the source menu or press the home button to exit and go back to the Android TV home screen.
4. If the device remains connected and you want to project its video again press the source button , and then select the corresponding port in
the source menu.
Connecting a speaker with ARC
The HDMI port on the projector features Audio Return Channel (ARC) capabilities which allows it to output its audio to an ARC-compatible speaker
connected via an HDMI cable.
Not all devices with a USB-C port have DisplayPort functionality. Check your device’s documentation for clarification. The USB-C port on this projector cannot support
multimedia reader (i.e., it cannot access files stored on a flash storage drive).
If no signal is detected or the signal is interrupted a message will appear.
• Some computers feature HDMI ports that do not transmit audio, in such cases a separate audio cable must be connected to the projector.
• Some laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combination like Fn + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external
display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the laptop. Press Fn and the labeled function key simultaneously.
Refer to your laptop’s documentation to discover your laptop’s key combination.
