Connecting to AUDIO IN Terminals (SX7/X700)
Connect an audio cable to the AUDIO IN terminal corresponding to the input image signal
if you want to use the projector’s speaker.
zThe speaker outputs the audio signal corresponding to the selected image signal.
zUse an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor
turns down the sound.
zConnect the audio cable between the AUDIO OUT terminal and an external audio-visual
equipment if you want to output the audio signal to the audio-visual equipment (P66).
zThe built-in speaker is monaural.
