  3. The file format is not supported. Please refer to the video format support list in the specifications section.

Why is my movie not playing sound?

A Due to the copyright issue of Dolby®, this projector does not support Dolby® audio decoding. You might not get sound from videos if they use Dolby® audio decoding.

Q What should I do if the projector system has crashed or is stuck?
A
In this case, there are several possibilities that may cause the system to crash.
