Use Guide
1. Installing the Stand
- Align the nut holes on the bottom of the projector with the head holes on the stand. Ensure the head protrusion fits into the groove on the projector bottom.
- Rotate and tighten the screws until the projector is stable.
- The stand rotates 360° without tools. Adjust to your desired angle.
2. Powering On
- Connect the power adapter to the projector and plug into a wall outlet (100V–240V).
- Press the power button on the projector or remote control.
3. Adjusting the Image
- Focus: Use the remote control's electric focus button to sharpen the image. For best results, balance focus across the entire image rather than over-sharpening one area.
- Keystone: The projector automatically corrects vertical keystone (±30°). For manual adjustment (±50°), use the settings menu.
- Zoom: Adjust digital zoom between 70% and 100% using the remote or on-screen menu.
- Aspect Ratio: Switch between 4:3 and 16:9 in the settings menu.
4. Connecting Devices

- Bluetooth: Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Pair with external speakers or headphones.
- HDMI: Connect gaming consoles, laptops, or TV sticks to the HDMI port.
- USB: Insert a USB drive to play media files directly.
- 3.5mm Audio: Connect external speakers or headphones via the audio jack.
5. Streaming Services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.)
Important: Due to HDCP copyright restrictions, the AY3 cannot directly mirror your phone to play Netflix, Amazon Prime, or similar streaming services. To access these services, connect a TV stick (e.g., Fire TV Stick) to the HDMI port. This provides a faster and more reliable experience than built-in app systems.

Troubleshooting
Image is Blurry
- Use the remote control's electric focus to adjust. Balance focus across the entire image for optimal clarity.
- Ensure the projector is at the correct distance from the screen (3.28 ft – 19.68 ft).
No Sound or Distorted Audio
- Check that the volume is not muted.
- If using external speakers, verify Bluetooth connection or 3.5mm cable.
- Disable Dolby Sound settings on connected devices, as Dolby is not supported.
Cannot Play Netflix/Amazon Prime via Phone Mirroring
- This is due to HDCP copyright protection. Use a TV stick (e.g., Fire TV Stick) connected via HDMI to stream these services.
WiFi Connection Issues
- Ensure you are within range of your router.
- Restart the projector and router.
- Check that you are selecting the correct network (2.4G or 5G).
