HY300 Pro+ Voice Remote

This HY300 Pro+ voice remote is a replacement for the one that ships with Magcubic's HY300 Pro+. The lead version comes from RUOYINKE, and it keeps the essentials:

• 16 buttons in a 5 × 2 × 1 inch black body weighing 4.8 oz.
• Voice search on its own button, for the projector's Android search.
• Infrared for the buttons, so power, menus and volume work from the first battery.
• Two AAA cells, bought separately, and a pairing manual in the box.

The RUOYINKE remote is rated for 10 m, more than any bedroom or lounge asks for. A second version from PZL spreads the controls over 20 buttons, reaches 26 ft across a 120° angle, and accepts either AAA or AA cells.

One thing does not carry over from the original. Magcubic's own Pro+ remote is an air mouse, where waving the remote moves a pointer across the picture. Neither replacement mentions an air-mouse pointer, so log-in boxes and web pages go back to arrow keys, while voice covers the searching.

Here is how the two versions line up against the projectors they name:

The RUOYINKE title speaks of manual-focus projectors, yet its list of model codes also includes Magcubic's HY300 Ultra, which focuses electrically from the remote. For an Ultra, the PZL version names the projector outright and is the clearer pick.

To confirm which projector you own, check these in order:

1. The sticker under the base, which gives the brand and model.
2. Whether it stands on a round speaker base; that is the Magcubic HY300 Pro+.
3. Whether focus runs from the remote; that points to the Magcubic HY300 Ultra.

The gray Pro+ matters here because it runs Android 14, and the RUOYINKE list names it next to the white original. Both colours take the same remote, so a household with one of each can share a spare between two rooms.

A non-Magcubic HY300 Pro is better served by the plain infrared HY300 Pro replacement remote, which names a long list of brands.

1. Fit two fresh AAA cells; neither version includes them.
2. Power up the projector and let the launcher load.
3. Follow the pairing manual's key combination while pointing at the projector.
4. Wait for the projector to confirm the remote in its Bluetooth or remote settings.
5. Hold the voice button, say an app name, and check that the search box responds.

If voice stays silent after pairing, remove the batteries for ten seconds and pair again. A firmware update often clears stubborn cases, since remote support lives in the projector's system; the HY300 firmware update guide walks through it.

Ceiling screenings bring one quirk. When the lens swivels up to the plaster, aim the remote at the projector body rather than at the picture overhead. Once paired, voice works from anywhere in the room, while the infrared buttons still like a clear line to the front.

Voice results depend on the app as much as the remote. The system search on the home screen hears every request, while some streaming apps open their own search box and prefer typed letters. When one app ignores the microphone, start the search from the home screen and let it hand the title over.

A few habits make the remote last:

• Take the batteries out before a long break from film nights, as RUOYINKE advises.
• Keep it off the radiator shelf; heat shortens cell life.
• Speak close to the microphone and pause after pressing, so the first word is not clipped.

For every other control problem, the HY300 remote guide covers lost remotes, pairing resets and the buttons on each model.

• This voice remote. Best for households that stream most nights and search a lot. Voice replaces typing; buttons do the rest.
• A plain infrared remote. Enough for someone who opens the same two apps each night and never searches.
• A phone app. Free, and handy for typing passwords, but it drains the phone and needs both on the same Wi-Fi. The HY300 remote app guide lists the apps that work.

For a Magcubic HY300 Ultra or HY310 owner who misses the pointer more than the microphone, the WDZP air-mouse version of the HY300 Ultra replacement remote brings back pointing without voice.

Before ordering, run through the short checks that prevent a return:

1. The projector is a Magcubic, not another brand with the same model name.
2. The model is a Pro+, HY310 or, for the PZL version, an HY300 Ultra.
3. Batteries are in the drawer: two AAA, or AA for the PZL.

The two versions also differ in feel. The RUOYINKE remote is the compact 16-button shape Pro+ owners know, while the PZL spreads 20 buttons along an arched body and runs on AA cells in a pinch, handy when the AAA drawer is empty on a Sunday night.

With those three ticked, the voice remote puts film night back where it belongs: sofa, blanket, one button and the title said out loud. Keep it in a glow-in-the-dark sleeve and it will not vanish into the cushions the way the first one did.
