How do I set up the mic?
The Projector Deluxe HD comes with an included mic and cable. Connect the mic to the projector's Mic Input. On the mic, there is an On/Off switch. Set this to On and adjust the Mic Volume knob to a comfortable level.

My video doesn't have any audio when connected via HDMI. What should I do?
Digital audio output settings are not standardized and can change across different platforms and devices. If you are not hearing audio from your HDMI source, we suggest checking the source's audio settings and verifying that they are set to PCM Stereo mode.
The Projector Deluxe does not support Dolby Digital 5.1. If this is the only option that your HDMI source allows for, then the video's audio can still be streamed via Bluetooth or by directly connecting the video source to the Projector Deluxe's Aux Input with a 1/8" cable.
Can I use this product to show a PowerPoint presentation?
The Projector Deluxe HD is a great way to enhance any PowerPoint presentation! Project your slides for the whole room to view from a laptop or USB drive. For larger rooms, the mic can also be used so that your hard work is heard by all!
