My friend bought this projector to use at home. I hooked it up for him but can’t figure out how to get his cable feed (Television) to flow out. I screwed it into the cable receiver port on the side but the signal won’t flo out for projection. The manual is really thin and doesn’t provide much info about this. Hooking a DVD player up to it works fine, but the cable TV thing is a mystery. Any tips?

Thanks for this GREAT post!

Easy to change lamp.

The old unit I never had to change the lamp but you had to total take it apart it had a metal housing. By looking at it it would not be easy to do.

New unit has filter.

Old unit did not have a filter.

New unit has the same type fan but now a added blower. Unit is not loud.

Old unit was two reg pc fans. It was not loud but the fan on the back side was large and you could see the lamp a little.

new unit I got the tv tuner. Might be my cable but it is a little fuzzy over the dvd player tuner. Still usable and looks fine just a few channels look fuzzy.

New unit has speakers good for just reg tv klate at night they are stereo.

Old unit had no speakers at all so had to use amp and was not good for late night tv.

Keystone on new unit is easy to use.

Old unit had a wheel you had to fource to turn.

New unit puts out larger image closer to screen.

Old unit had long throw.

Big pluse they added a filter to the unit.

Old unit did not have a filter at all.

Overall great projector for the price. Sharp image and looks great in dark room. But also is still usable with a over head light on I got two 40 watt in the room.

They add a usa type tv hook up for the usa so no adapter is need for cable tv. Best part is it is lighter then there old units and looks nicer.

I would say for home use or even a bar or night club there projectors are worth the price. Mine was spot on in the color settings. So straight from box to screen no setting up the color at all.

They also include two replacement filters. You can easy make more by buying a window ac filter for about $1/.00 and cutting them to fit.

Best part is shipping it came in a strong double box and was packed great. I am going to buy there mount since my old one will not work with I can not get the freaking thing down. lol

I would say by the tv tuner over the s video only if you have cable tv. S video to me is a little outdated but if you need it you will need a tuner old vcr or dvd player would work.

I’ve decided that the one thing I really don’t like about it is that it’s not great for portability and constantly being turned on and off. That makes it less than ideal for my situation (a classroom, and sometimes moving).

However, it certainly is a decent unit if you use it for extended periods of times.

I own a dg-k8 Digital Galaxy there old model. I have had it dfor about 3 years and it still has the bulb it came with going strong. They no longer make my unit at all but it has been used every day for about 6 hours a day since I first got it. Still works like brand new. Mine is not as good as your new unit but I am going to be buying the dg-852 soon to upgrade. The spec’s for the old one are low but the picture looks sharp and clear.

640×480
500 ansi lumens
350 ; 1 contrast ratio
Has s video no tv tuner my main reason to upgrade is the tv part.

When I got mine they just start o sell in the usa I was one of the first to buy it. Like many I thought wow this will be junk. Boy was I wrong it is built like a tank.

Both there new and old units still use the same lamp bulb so I like that. The lamp is only about $35.00 but mine right now is 3 years old and just like new I got two back up’s on hand just in case.

I see they also use the same remote that to me is good but there remote is not the best on the block. I use a learning remote to use mine. I found there was week if you mount it on the ceiling.

Can not wait to get my new unit and the old one will be put up as backup. Thought I will probably never need it since they make good stuff.
