Depending on your speakers you may be able to use a 
commercially available audio cable with a stereo mini-jack 
connector on one end and pin jacks on the other end. For some 
speakers, you may have to purchase a special cable or use an 
adapter.
2. Connect the stereo mini-jack end of the audio cable to the 
Audio 
port on the projector. 
  
3. Connect the other end(s) of the cable to your speakers. 
The projector’s internal speaker system is disabled while sound is 
output to external speakers, and you can’t use the projector or remote 
control to control the volume.

Presenting Through a 
Wireless Network
This chapter tells you how to send pictures to the projector through 
a wireless network. Using EMP NS Connection, you can project 
images shown on your computer screen—including text and 
graphics—directly to your audience. Because images are displayed in 
real-time, any changes you make on your PC or notebook are 
automatically mirrored on the screen. 
You’ll find instructions in this chapter on:
■Starting EasyMP
■Configuring basic settings
■Connecting to the projector in Ad Hoc (computer-to-computer) 
mode or Access Point (infrastructure) mode
■Using wireless security options
■Projecting wirelessly
■Multi-screen projection
■Removing the wireless 802.11g/b/a module
■Projecting from a wired LAN
■Sending e-mail alerts from the projector
Before starting, make sure you’ve installed EMP NS Connection as 
described on page 165 for each computer you want to connect to the 
projector. Then follow the steps in this chapter to start EasyMP, 
configure your projector and computer, and run EMP 
NS Connection.
