Adjusts  the  volume,  bass  and  treble  level,  left  and  right  balance  of  the  projector  speaker  and  AUDIO  OUT  (Stereo 
Mini Jack).
TIP: 
[VOLUME]
• When no menus appear, the SELECT  and  buttons on the projector cabinet and the VOLUME +/− buttons work as a volume 
control.
[BALANCE]
• When the left/monaural of the video/component audio input is connected, the right and left channel sound from the AUDIO OUT 
(Stereo Mini Jack) is the same.
Enabling 3D Surround [3D SURROUND]
Turn on or off the 3D surround effect.
If the AUDIO OUT stereo mini jack of the projector is connected to external equipment, adjusting the sound on the 
external  equipment  can  cause  sound  to  be  distorted  or  cracked,  depending  on  the  bass,  treble  or  3D  Surround 
adjustment.  If  this  happens,  return  the  adjustments  of  the  projector  to  the  factory  default  (BASS:0, TREBLE:  0,  3D 
SURROUND: OFF).
NOTE: When the AUDIO OUT (Stereo Mini Jack of the projector is an external equipment, audio control on the external equipment 
may  cause  distorted  or  scratchy  sound  depending  on  the  adjustments  of  BASS,  TREBLE,  BALANCE  and  3D  SURROUND.  If  this 
happens,  return  the  adjustments  of  the  projector  to  the  factory  preset  ("0"  for  [BASS],  "0"  for  [TREBLE],  and  "OFF"  for  [3D  SUR-
ROUND]).
