What should I do if the projector image is blurry?

If the projected image is blurry, first adjust the focus ring located on the projector lens. If the image remains blurry, check the projection distance and ensure the projector is perpendicular to the screen. Also, verify that the lens is clean and free of dust or smudges.

To change the lamp, turn off the projector and unplug it from the power source. Let it cool down for at least 30 minutes. Remove the lamp cover and unscrew the old lamp.

What should I do if the projector does not turn on?

If the projector does not turn on, check if it's properly plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the projector.
