METHOD 1
There are infrared (IR) sensors at the front center of the projector and on the remote. If you choose to use this method to control the projector, it has a maximum range of 26 feet.

METHOD 2
Ensure that the remote is within a few feet of the front of the projector before pairing. Press and hold the Return and Menu buttons simultaneously for at least 10s to put the remote control into pairing mode with the projector. If the  pairing is successful, the screen will show “Remote connected”.

  • If the connection is disabled, you will need to re-pair the remote in order to continue using it via method 2.
  • Do not place objects in front of the projector’s IR sensor. This may prevent the sensor from operating properly.
  • The IR sensor on the remote, like all IR sensors, can be interfered with by extremely bright light sources. If the remote is not working properly, make sure that there are no bright lights shining on them.

INSTALLATION

While most projectors feature long-throw technology, the NexiGo Aurora Pro is an ultra short throw projector. Therefore, rather than placing it in the center of a room, you should position your device so it is directly in front of the screen.  For a 120-inch projection, it should be approximately 1.12 feet away from the screen. Meanwhile, for an 80-inch projection, it should be approximately 0.46 feet away from the screen. Additional distance information is listed below in the  Projector Distance & Size section of the manual.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
The room layout and the design of the room will be the most important factors in choosing where to place the projector. Consider the following when selecting a location:

  • The size, shape, and position of your screen.
  • Location of a suitable power outlet.
  • Ensure the projector has sufficient space around it for airflow.

The projector is designed to be installed in one of four layouts. You can either hang the projector from the ceiling via a special mounting bracket (NOT INCLUDED), or simply place it on a stable surface. You may need to change the projection mode so the images project correctly.
Select Projection Mode under Display Setting tab, then choose the corresponding projection mode for your needs.

NEXIGO Aurora Pro Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector - Projection
Mode

  • A rear projection screen is required to use the rear projection function.
  • Please use 4 x 1/8″ (M4) Screws when mounting the projector on the ceiling.

If the projector is resting on a table, you may need to adjust the height of the projector’s feet. There are two feet for vertical height adjustment at the front of the unit and on the side. As shown in the figure below, turn the height adjustment wheel to adjust the feet.

Enter keystone correction by navigating to Settings > Display > Keystone Correction. Try to fix the image with Four Point correction first. If the image requires further correction, proceed to Eight Point correction.

HOW CAN I FIX A BLURRY IMAGE?
Adjust the focus by navigating to Settings > Display > Focus. Press the left or right arrow buttons on the remote until the image becomes clear. For the best picture clarity, use a flat white wall or a professional 80”-150” ambient light- rejecting screen.

HOW DO I PLAY 3D CONTENT ON THE AURORA PRO?
Once you have a 3D video file from your USB flash drive or HDMI source opened, press and hold the Menu button on the remote, select Playback Settings from the Shortcut Menu, and enable 3D. For the best experience, we recommend purchasing 3D glasses separately and wearing them while you watch 3D movies.

WHAT IF THE REMOTE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK?

  • The batteries may be drained. Please replace the remote control batteries.
  • There may be objects in front of the projector’s IR sensor. Please remove the objects.
  • The remote may be too far from the projector. Please use the remote within 26 feet of the projector.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE CORRECT AUDIO OUTPUT?
In the Audio Output settings menu, when you select a speaker, you will see two output options: PCM and RAW.

  • With PCM output, the audio source is processed and decoded before it is sent to the speakers. It has wide compatibility, but the sound quality will be altered when compared to the raw audio. PCM is the ideal choice if your speaker  does not support end-line decoding, or if you prefer more processed sound quality.
  • With RAW output, no processing or decoding is performed on the audio output by the projector, allowing the audio to retain much of the original sound quality. Generally, RAW output is the optimal choice if you have a receiver that  is capable of performing the decoding itself.

WHAT IF I CANNOT TURN ON THE PROJECTOR?

  • Please check that the device is properly connected to a power source.
  • Press the power button on the device to turn the device on.
  • If the projector is hot, please wait for it to cool down before restarting it.
  • If these options do not help resolve the issue, please contact NexiGo customer support at cs@nexigo.com.

WHAT IF THE DEVICE DOES NOT SHOW AN IMAGE?

  • Power off the device and unplug the power cable. Let the device sit for one minute to allow the capacitors to discharge. Plug it in again after one minute and power on the device.
  • The device providing the input source for the projector may not be powered on or connected properly. Please unplug the input device and then reconnect it, ensuring that the connection is solid.
  • The input source may be incorrect. In the projector menu, navigate to Settings > Input source and select the correct input source you want to connect.

WHAT IF THE IMAGE IS BLURRY?

  • Check if the projector is focused properly. In the projector menu, navigate to Settings > Display to adjust the focus.
  • Ensure the content is presented in high definition (1080p or higher).
    Non-HD content may appear blurry on a large display.

WHAT IF THE IMAGE IS NOT RECTANGULAR?
In the projector menu, navigate to Settings > Display to adjust the image. For additional information, please see the Image Adjustment section of this manual.

WHAT IF THE SYSTEM CRASHES OR FREEZES?
Power off the projector and unplug the power cable. Allow the projector to sit for one minute to allow the capacitors to discharge. Plug it in again after one minute and power it on.

WHAT IF THE PROJECTOR SHUTS OFF BECAUSE OF OVERHEATING?
Please remove any objects that may be blocking the air vents on the projector. Then restart the projector.
Move the projector away from heat sources such as air ducts, space heaters, or direct sunlight.
