Connecting to the Projector

HDMI - VGA - AV

The Projector offers 6 different input
sources.

This section will focus on HDMI,
VGA, and AV (Composite) input.

Selecting Inputs

The Input Selection menu can be found
by accessing the OSD menu. The
OSD menu is accessed by pressing the
“Settings” ( ) button on the projector or
the remote control.

10

Connecting to the Projector (Cont)

To connect a device to the Projector rst connect the appropriate source cable. HDMI is

a full sized HDMI cable. VGA is a standard 25 pin VGA cable. Composite Video is the
included 3.5mm AV cable. After connecting the cable open the OSD menu and select

the appropriate format. For example to enable an HDMI connection rst connect the

HDMI cable then select “HDMI” in the OSD menu.

11

Connecting to the Projector (Cont)

HDMI ConneCtIon

When connecting to HDMI remember to set the output resolution to match the projec­tor. The native resolution of the projector is 1280x800. Not all resolutions will match,
please try a few different resolution settings to obtain the desired display. On systems
like the Playstation 4, a safe-mode boot (on the PS4) may be needed to change the
output resolution to match.

VGA ConneCtIon

VGA connections are analog connections without “autodetection”. To connect a laptop

to the LED Projector rst set the resolution. We recommend resolutions at or near

1280x800. Depending on your device, sometimes toggling the VGA output to “ON” is

needed. Each laptop conguration is different, for example Function+F5 is sometimes

used to toggle the VGA output On / Off on laptops. Please check your device owners
manual for more detailed instructions.

RCA ConneCtIon

To connect Composite Video (RCA) connections simply connect the red, white, and yel­low RCA cables to the included 3.5mm RCA cable. The 3.5mm port should then plug
into the 3.5mm AV port of the LED Android Projector.

12

Tips: Enabling Video Output

Step 1:

To enable VGA or HDMI output on your computer most computers require “turning on” the video
output feature. Each computer is different. Please consult your owner’s manual for instructions to
enable VGA or HDMI output. Below are standard instructions for a Windows XP computer – not all
systems are the same.

Step 2:

Press function & “F5” to instruct
the computer to enable multiple
displays.

You can also press Windows+P to

toggle through display settings.

*NOTE: different operating systems may differ

Step 3:

1. Right click on computer desk­top and select “Properties”

2. Display Properties window
will pop up

3. Click on the “Settings” Tab

4. If a secondary monitor is
grayed out, click on it and
check “Extend my Windows
Desktop onto this monitor”

5. If the image is blurry or the
text is not legible, adjust
the screen resolution. We
recommend 1280x800.

43

Keystone Adjustments

What is Keystoning?

“Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen,
or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results
from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square.

Digital Keystone Adjustments

By adding a special, selectable, algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors
are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens. The result is a
squared image, even at an angle.

44

Keystone Adjustments

Automatic Keystone Adjustment

Automatic Keystone adjustment is enabled through a level­sensor on the projector. As the projector is tilted the image is
automatically scaled to match the angle / degree of tilt. This
feature is turned “on” from the factory.

Manual Keystone Adjustment

Users can choose to adjust the keystone themselves to match
circumstances where the automatic keystone adjustment is
ill-suited. This can be achieved by selecting “manual” in the
Keystone adjustment submenu found in the OSD menu.

No Keystone Adjustment

Keystone adjustment can be turned off through the Keystone
submenu.

Note: Only vertical Keystone Adjustment is available (horizontal is not)

45

Keystone Adjustments FAQ

How to Correct Keystone

• If the image looks trapezoidal with
the base larger (as pictured right),
press the bottom button on the
directional pad on the top of the
LED Showtime until the keystone
effect corrects and the picture
turns into a square projection.

• If the image looks trapezoidal with
the top larger (as pictured right),
press the top button on the direc­tional pad on the top of the LED
Showtime until the keystone effect
corrects and the picture turns into
a square projection.

Be sure to setup the computer to enable a video signal output. On some
laptops this is done by pressing and holding Function F5 key. If using the LED
Showtime as an external monitor on Windows based systems, this can be done
by selecting “extend my desktop to this monitor”. The native resolution of the
LED Showtime projector is 1280x800. Depending on the video driver different
resolutions may need to be selected for proper output.

Move the projector so that it is both 180 degrees
and on an evern plane with the screen.
