Connecting audio

The projector has built-in speaker(s) which are designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications.

The built-in speaker(s) will be muted when the AUDIO-OUTjack is connected.

The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 18 for details.

If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
