App Settings

LED Strip Starting Corner
To calibrate your setup, open the Fancy LEDs app & tap on the Fancy Sync Box icon. Then navigate to the settings tab & modify the ‘LED Strip Starting Corner’ according to the setup option you selected—either left-sided or right- sided. This ensures that the colors sync correctly with the screen & do not appear mirrored.

Scene Mode CEC
This particular switch enables you to decide if the LEDs should automatically turn on or off with your TV, specifically when a scene mode from the ‘Scene ‘tab is activated. The Sync mode is permanently CEC enabled.

Sync Mode

Diffusion
Low, Medium, & High diffusion modes significantly affect the level of reactivity in the LEDs. With Low mode, you’ll see a maximum of 4 colors at once, Medium allows for 12 colors, & High displays as many colors as possible. The speed of diffusion in each mode controls the transition rate from full illumination to the off state, reducing flickering where necessary.

Voice Control

Tuya Platform
Upon completion of the setup within the Fancy LEDs app, navigate to your voice control device’s app and search for ‘Tuya’. Tuya is the platform that enables voice control compatibility with the Fancy Sync Box. It will subsequently establish a connection with the Fancy LEDs app for seamless voice command functionality.

My TV keeps glitching/going black with the Fancy Sync Box.

• Try these quick troubleshooting steps (not all will apply):
• Turn the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) setting off in the resolution settings of your Xbox or PS5
• Turn the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) setting off on your TV, in settings.
• Turn ‘signal input plus’ off in your TV settings (if your TV supports this and the VRR fix didn’t).
• Turn your TV’s ‘gaming mode’ off on the TV.
• Make sure your TV is producing a maximum resolution of 4K 60Hz.

My TV is not syncing with my LEDs?

• You are required to connect a HDMI device into the input slot on the Fancy Sync Box. A compatible HDMI device is required for the syncing of the LEDs, integrated apps on the TV will not be synced. As such, if you would like to watch Netflix for example with synced LEDs, you will have to watch using a compatible HDMI device like an Xbox or Amazon Firestick.
• If you have a compatible HDMI device connected, make sure it is inserted into the ‘Input’ port & your TV / Monitor is connected to the ‘Output’ port.

The end section of the LED strip is not lighting up?

• If the LED bulbs are not turning on at the end of your LED strip, or there is a section not working, you may have a malfunction. Please contact support.
