Playing sound through the projector
You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and 
also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio 
output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio 
projector.
You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display 
(OSD) menus. See Audio Setting on page 33 for details.
The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where 
the sound is from.
About the microphone input
• If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the 
projector.
• You can use a wireless microphone as long as a wireless module is attached to the 
projectors microphone input jack and it works well with the associated devices. 
• To ensure a quality use of the wireless microphone, it is recommended that your 
microphone conforms to the specifications listed in the table below.
• There are two ways to adjust microphone volumes.
• Directly set microphone volume levels in the Video/Audio > Audio Setting > 
Microphone Volume menu.
• Set projector volume levels in the Video/Audio > Audio Setting > Volume 
menu, or press Volume keys (+, -) on the remote control. (The projector volume 
setting will affect the microphone volume.)
