Samsung Freestyle

When using the Samsung Freestyle, you may notice that the portable projector may turn off by itself. To see how you can fix the random shut down issues, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

Why your Samsung Freestyle keeps shutting down by itself

If your Samsung Freestyle is seemingly shutting down at random times, then you most likely have Sleep Timer, Auto Power Off and/or Off Timer features enabled.

How to prevent Freestyle from turning off by itself

To see how you can disable these energy saving settings, you can check out the tutorials below.

1. The first potential fix is to see if Sleep Timer is enabled. If it is turned on, then you will need to disable this feature.

To find the Sleep Timer feature, you need to take the following steps:

• On the Samsung Smart Remote for the Freestyle Portable Projector, press the home button.
• Head to Menu, which is represented with the icon that has three horizontal lines.
• Head to Settings, which is represented with the gear cog icon.
• You then need to head to All Settings.
• Head to General & Privacy.
• Next, head to System Manager.
• Head to Time.
• Finally, head to Sleep Timer.
• If Sleep Timer is turned on, make sure to turn it off.

2. The auto shut down may also be due to the Auto Power Off feature of the Samsung Freestyle.

To access and disable this feature, you need to do the following:

• Press the home button on the remote for the portable projector.
• Go to Menu.
• Go into Settings.
• Go to All Settings.
• Here, you need to go to General & Privacy.
• Go to Power and Energy Saving.
• You then have to go to Auto Power Off.
• If Auto Power Off is enabled, make sure to disable it.

3. The Off Timer feature of the Samsung Freestyle may also be causing the portable projector to turn off at inopportune times.

To find this feature, you need to take the following steps:

• Once again, press the home button on the projector remote.
• Make sure you select Menu.
• Select Settings.
• Afterwards, select All Settings.
• Select General & Privacy.
• You then need to select System Manager.
• Select Time.
• Lastly, select Off Timer.
• If the Off Timer feature is turned on, then you will need to turn this feature off.

If disabling Sleep Timer, Auto Power Off and/or Off Timer features did not fix the random shut down issues, then you may want to consider contacting Samsung for additional support.

The Samsung Freestyle is a portable projector. If you move around this product a lot of times, however, then you may end up getting a skewed and/or blurry picture.

To see how you can fix these problems, you can check out this troubleshooting guide at Seeking Tech.

How to fixed a skewed projected image from Samsung Freestyle

If the projected image coming from Samsung Freestyle is skewed, then we recommend that you try doing the following:

1. Move the projector left or right as well as move its inclination up or down until you get a perfect rectangular image.

2. You can also move the Freestyle backwards to increase the screen size or forward to decrease the screen size.

3. If you are still getting a skewed projection, then you can try using the Keystone function.

In order to do so, press the home button on your Samsung Smart Remote.

You then need to select the Menu option, which has the three horizontal lines.

Next, you should select the Settings option, which has the gear cog icon.

You then need to select All Settings > General & Privacy > Projector Settings > Keystone.

How to fixed a blurry projected image from Samsung Freestyle

If the projected image from the Samsung Freestyle looks blurry, then you can try doing the following:

1. First off, you can try to display a different media or switch a different input source.

If the other media or input source looks fine, then the problem may be related to the original media you are trying to project.

Keep in mind that pictures or videos that are originally displayed in standard resolution will still look blurry even when upscaled to a high-definition resolution especially if the Freestyle is displaying a larger screen size.

2. If the blurriness is only showing on one of the sources, then make sure that you have the right settings for the connected device.

3. If you are getting a blurry projected image in all scenarios, then you can try using the Focus function of the Freestyle.

To do so, press the Home button on the remote, select Menu and then select Settings.

Afterwards, go to All Settings > General & Privacy > Projector Settings > Focus.

4. You can also try changing the Picture Clarity Settings.

In order to do so, you need to first press the Home button from the remote control of the projector, select Menu and then select Settings.

You then have to select All Settings > Picture > Expert Settings > Picture Clarity Settings.

5. If none of the aforementioned solutions work, then you might want to check if the lens of the Samsung Freestyle Portable Projector is cleaned.

If the lens appears to have some smudge, be dirty and/or be dusty, then we recommend carefully cleaning it.
