teries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other 
than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the 
remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmen
-
tally proper manner.To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the com

Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Vo l u m e  button 
on the keypad or remote. Make sure the correct source is active. Make sure that you are connected to an “audio out” connector on the

3.5mm stereo audio cable from the Audio Out connector on the projector to 
the amplified speakers. Alternatively, you can bypass the projector ’s audio 
system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home 
theater system.
