“Whether you’re camping, grilling, or setting up a home theater, projectors have always promised a big-screen experience, but they often lacked the simplicity and smart connectivity that today’s viewers expect,” said Tom McFarland, vice president of Roku TV.
“The Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector changes that – combining Roku’s award-winning OS with effortless setup and access to thousands of movies, TV shows, and live channels.”
For audio, the Aurzen Roku TV Smart Projector D1R Cube has dual 5W speakers, though it is also compatible with Roku wireless speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers. Users can also employ the Bluetooth headphone mode in the Roku mobile app to hear the audio directly in their earbuds or headphones.
