The Projector

With the Leisure 470 R, you get a compact, easy-to-use, affordable projector and the advantage of 275 live TV channels via Roku Express. The projector is very capable, despite its small size. On the side, you’ve got multiple inputs so that you can hook it up to multiple devices at the same time.

There are two HDMI ports, so in addition to the Roku Express, which comes with it, you can still also hook up a gaming system, a laptop, or a second movie source. Two other options exist for playing videos or photos on the projector via either a USB-A port or a micro-SD card. There are also AV in and audio out 1/8” jacks.

The control panel is located atop the projector with all the standard buttons for Play/Pause, left, right, up, down, input selection, menu, OK, and power. The Leisure 470 also comes with a remote (including all the same controls), so you don’t need to sit next to the projector to operate it.
