The VA-LT002, which is marketed and best known simply as the VAVA 4K, is a well-constructed, solidly built projector whose relatively small dimensions (21 x 14.5 x 4.2 inches (WDH) belie its substantial 23.8-pound weight.

Type the IP address of your AVR 1700 into a web browser on your computer (it should like this: 192.168.1.xxx, with the last three digits based on yourindividual network). ![]() You can do this by logging into your wireless router's web interface, or by using a utility like this one: Using your computer, determine the IP address of the AVR 1700 on your localnetwork. For me, this meant temporarily moving my cable modem and wireless router into the living room and connecting the receiver to my router with an ethernet cable.
