🔧 Step-by-Step Projector Setup Guide
1️⃣ Choose the Right Room & Wall
Look for a flat, light wall or set up a projector screen. Avoid direct sunlight and ambient light if possible.
2️⃣ Position the Projector
Use the throw ratio to calculate distance. Most Vision Beam projectors work well from 1.2m to 2.5m away.
3️⃣ Adjust Focus & Keystone
Use the remote or top controls to fine-tune your image. Ensure it's crisp, centered, and rectangular.
4️⃣ Connect Your Audio
Built-in speakers are great, but external Bluetooth speakers (like the ViSound™ Pulse) will dramatically improve your experience.
5️⃣ Launch Your Content
Use the built-in Google TV or connect a Fire Stick, laptop, or console. Make sure your internet connection is stable.
