Installation

    Locate the adhesive strips included with your brackets. Peel off the protective backing from one side of the strip and firmly attach it to the bendable brackets.
    Then, flex the brackets to better fit the contours of your TV.

  2. LED Starting Placement
    Instructions for the two setup options are available on pages 4 & 5. The diagram illustrates how to arrange the LED strip by selecting a bottom corner, then going up & around the perimeter until you return to the same starting bottom corner. Choose the side that is most convenient for you; there is no preferred side. The red line represents the LED strip. The blue line represents the wire / USB-C at the beginning of the LED strip. IMPORTANT: Only choose one option.

  3. Left Sided Setup
    Starting at the bottom left corner at the back of your TV, with the USB-C side of the LED strip, unravel the LED strip & peel off the protective backing to expose the adhesive. Adhere the strip following your TV’s edge: upwards to the top left, across to the top right, downwards to the bottom right, & back across to the bottom left.

  4. Cutting Excess LEDs
    It’s likely you’ll now have excess LED strip which needs to be cut. The green circle on the diagram indicates the only place to cut the LED strip. You’re required to cut the LEDs to create a perfect 16:9 ratio rectangle on your TV’s perimeter. The green dotted line illustrated below indicates where to cut the strip.

Option 2

Right Sided Setup

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.FANCY LEDS HDMI 2.0 Fancy Sync Box - Voice

FAQ

My phone will not connect to the app?

  • Confirm you have a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection (confirm with modem manufacturer).
  • Check the app permissions in the settings of your phone & enable locations, WiFi & Bluetooth.
  • Remove the Fancy Sync Box icon from the app.
  • Remove the power cable, wait for 5 seconds, reinsert then hold the WiFi reset button 10 seconds to reset.
  • If it still does not connect, reattempt the steps above using a different mobile device.

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.
