• A:Answer I have the same problem. I cannot (for the life of me) get the projector to connect in Windows. If you use Linux, it seems to work! Also blueray players, Android devices and just about everything else will work, but not windows for some reason. I'm hunting for some sort of solution.

Q: QuestionCan you play audio thru Bluetooth speaker if cable box plugged in via HDMI?

Asked 8 years ago by HSuncoast.

• A:Answer No, and that is my only real criticism of this product. The built-in speaker is completely worthless and there is no way that I've found to connect an external audio source.

Q: QuestionWould a portable charger preserve power of the projector? Example, if the charge is at 65 percent, use portable charger to keep it at 65 percent. So instead of 100 minutes you are able to extend the time. Which portable charger is best?

• A:Answer We have used this projector on camping trips. We had a portable charger that made it last for hours. The portable charger we used was a AUKEY Power Bank with 30,000 mAh.

Asked 8 years ago by DeeDee.

• A:Answer Absolutely! I ran the micro hdmi to my iPad and IPhone (needed the lightning av adapter), can run any live stream, downloaded movie. I also did run it to my Directv receiver, worked great! For additional speaker source (because the speaker on it is just too quiet) just sync to a Bluetooth device and it works great! Been getting a lot of use out of it, you will too!
