The image that is projected does spin/move (there is a projection disk that spins so that the image that is projected appears to move; there are three disks to choose from). The night light feature is separate and you can use the noise separate from the projector.

Yes, it spins. Yes, night light option but weak light, it's that blue thing at the base all around the machine. I would not buy it for the night light only. I really like it, you can turn low the sounds and put on how many minutes you want.... Hope this helps :) P.S.: I agree with Angela Ip answer.

I gave this as a baby shower gift so I don't have the answers. However, I'll try to get them for you.

The projector does not spin but the projection spins, not sure if you get what I mean. And yes the night light, projector and noise are different features, you can turn on the light separately when you keep the noise off. Or you can just have the projector on. Hope it helps.

The night light is a blue light at the base if the unit. Separate from the projector. No the projector doesn't spin. We do love the music it plays to!!

The clicking sound in the beginning is normal, just the gears setting up. You dont need any additional mic as the light has its own sound active mic. If after the initial (setting up) clicking the light shuts off and does nothing, its broken and you need to get a replacement. My first light had the same symptoms you described. I returned it back to amazon and my second light was perfect. Hope this helps.

Just a follow up thought. I don't k ow what projector you have but it must have plugs on the unit where you plug the lawn lights directly into the projector. You can also buy a simple string of any cheap Xmas lights and try that first. If they blink with the music then the lawn light should as well.

We have made multiple attempts to contact the company directly (with no avail) regarding both questions. The volume on the machine just does randomly seem to almost turn itself off (so low, it might as well be). We experienced the exact same defect on several different units via exchanges to the company, although a select few customers seem to report no problem at all. As to improvements, we have noticed the product appearing and disappearing from various retailer sites...hopefully, it has been an effort to pull the item and find a solution. However, based on other reviews we've seen: No improvements have been made. Currently we are using the one-level-down model from this company and we do like it. It has far less features (fewer sounds/ tones, no clock) than the Version II, but as it actually works and we don't get startled awake all through the night with sound cutting out, it is the only one we would recommend at this time. Homedics could also stand to work on their customer service while they are at fixing the second model.

Projector is very quiet, I've had it for 3 months now. I would say this product will last a long time IF you don't EVER leave it on for over 4 hours at a time. Out of the box, I promise you will be floored at how cool it is. I only turn it on when I feed my baby, she freakin' loves looking up at the stars while eating. I have had no problems with this unit, but I read people left it on lets say overnight and the unit burned out quickly 1-2 months. I took this beast outside and shined it on my house and it looked amazing. It's as loud as a hummmmmm if that. Get the unit, I promise you won't regret it. 37 Dad Projector is very quiet, I've had it for 3 months now.

The night light is optional, you can turn it on or off by pressing the top. That said, it does emit a very small amount of blue light during normal function.We love our Graco sound machine, definitely worth the light. We used and returned the dex sound machine (had feedback) and the first years sound machine (I did not believe the white noise sounds were relaxing-one sounds like a car alarm) The graco white noise is similar to a sound machine you'd hear in a dr office to keep confidentiality.

BeckBeck, I bought the projector for outside the home use, but still indoors. I use it for video presentations in connection with my religious faith. I am a traveling minister, and I set the projector up in a different auditorium each week. I can plug into the existing sound system with an audio converter, or I can play the projector with sound from the projector only. It has wonderful sound with a long range of projection. So, it's fantastic for what I use it for. I can show video files or a DVD (wish it was a blu-ray player) in full light. But, it's a much better picture with the lights out. It's doesn't have to be pitch black. But, "lights out" helps the picture quality. - I hope these comments help.

I have two of these (one for each child) and love them. This sound machine will play until you turn it off. We play the white noise for our kids all night. It does have the option to automatically shut off, but I've never even tried it. I love this machine! Another great feature is that it can be plugged in or battery powered, this is great for when the power goes out! :-). Hope that helps!

I have heard that projection TVs are best for the 3D effect. Do you know if it's true? The price of this one is amazing and I know there is a bulb that needs replaced after like 5 or 6,000 hours, but if you only use it for an occasional 3D movie or game, it should last quite a while.

Works wonderfully with PP and is extremely bright. We have had no problem with having to worry too much about darkening the room. I could not figure out how to get the projector linked with the computer to work the slide advance feature (I'm not too technically oriented). Solved the problem, however, for twelve bucks by picking up Oem Presenter with Laser Pointer and Powerpoint Presentation Remote Control Clicker (O-PRC-0130). It is really slick, with forward/reverse feature, plus a laser pointer. It works like a champ. Good luck. Cheers...Ed B.

It depends on how long you've had your projector! Mine is still working but I don't use it but ever now n then but all n all this projector had the longest bulb life which is way I choose it. So if your display isn't showing any more you may want to check the hdmi cable n see if the cord is the problem! If not then your next option is to replace the bulb in the unit or since most projection bulbs are 125 themselves you may as well just by another unit which is what I plan on doing when mine goes! Just let me know how it works out for you!

You can only hear the noise if you are using the speakers from the projector. We have our projector connected to a speaker system and never hear noise when watching a movie or gaming. It's a none issue in my opinion. The projector is outstanding.

There is an big issue with compatibility with certain Bluray Players: it seems to me that on a lot of them, you don't have shadow detail. My cheap Toshiba Bluray player was exactly like this. Sadly there is no way to fix it. there are no settings to change it. The only thing that works 100% sure is use a laptop or PC to power it. But this has nothing to do with the projector itself, just some confusion on the basis of HDMI and how bluray player and projector don't seem to work together as they should.

Maybe... you are right. Any way 80 ANSI (Is it ture? I don't kow) not enogh to use the projector at day. I can be used for only night.

Yes, until I read your question I forgot it had sounds. I'll also need to look for the lights. My granddaughter is 13 months and has been playing with the balls in it for the past 4 months and still loves it.

To be honest with you, especially when dealing with money, I sent mine back after having it for only a week. I sent it back because it did not play all m dvds or my flash drive. With my dealings with it, it played some of my items, which did not suit well with me. I hope I answered your question and I am not trying to discredit the company, I'm simply being honest in my dealings with the projector and why I do not have it anymore.

I have to agree that this sounds like your lamp is gone. I'm expecting this to happen to my TV soon as well. I'm now into my third year and the lamp does have to be replaced periodically. Since you have sound but not picture, it doesn't sound like a source problem.
