FAQS
Can you see the projected images with sharp clarity in a room filled with sunlight?
Not really, it gets pretty washed out. But you can still see it.
Is the true 1080 or support?
Full hd with 1920*1080 native resolution.The picture is very sharp and clear. I am impressed and will be recommending dbpower in the future.
How to remove lens cover? Rotate focus knob wheel until lens is somewhat out, and then pull the lens cap away from body.
First, if the unit is hot (including the bulb) then it needs to run to help cooler the unit down. But it does seem off that it stays on for more than 10 mins like mine.
How is it for watching hockey or football via cable tv? Does it stutter or blur motion?
It took me a second as well but it’s simple actually. Just hold the cover with thumb on one side and finger on the other. Then pull straight out from lens. No turning or twisting necessary
The reviews say you cannot stream Netflix. Is this true?
Have not had any problems with watching sports.
How can i connect my iphone8 to the projector by wifi?
As long as you have a Roku or other device plugged into the projector that has Netflix, you can.
The settings options are very limited. How do you adjust brightness, color, and contrast?
Connect your device and projector to the same Wi-Fi router, use iOS Cast function to sync screen your iOS device to the projector by two steps setting. (Notice: IOS 30P Interface Device cannot support.)
How many hours of run time?
To adjust brightness, color, and contrast:
Press the menu button on remote.
Use Up and Down direction arrows on remote to set Picture Mode, Display Mode, or Sound Mode
Press center “OK” button to select desired mode.
Use Up and Down arrow to select setting you want to change.
Use Left and Right arrow to change settings
How many hours of run time?
Not sure for run time but iv had mine for less than a year and it’s getting orange spots on the picture. Polarization failures.
Is 40” the minimum screen size? Want to use it in my RV and need a bit smaller screen.
40″ X 21″ is the smallest size at 50% at 14ft away. Suppose, could get smaller by moving closer, but the focus may be an issue. However, he focus ring is 1/5 out (8 notches vs 37 notches total), so there is some latitude here.
Does this have a built in battery?
No battery, it runs on 110 V.
Will it project pictures off your phone
Use the USB port on the Projector and connect to phone
Does this work in a lighted room or must it be dark?
This projector is 8500 lumen which isn’t bad. If it’s really bright sun and large windows you may smuggle, but otherwise it’s probably OK. I’ve found the colour is really bright and I can accept it.
Can you connect to stereo reciever?
Yes, via an HDMI cable. Mine is connected to a Pioneer VSX-LX101. I had to reset the receiver once I connected them, but since then everything is all good.



Rotate the focus ring or lens slowly, at the same time, check the focus point carefully. The best focus point for the lens would be where the image is most Focus Ring is clear.






Or open the DVD Player with the HDMI cable in the package.
