Yes. I used it outdoors on a 16 foot wide x 8 foot high screen and it looked awesome. Actually... Better picture quality than at a drive in.

Yes as long as it has a coaxial out or subwoofer out connector it uses the RCA type connectors it definitely makes movies and games more realistic. I have a metal frame on my recliner couch which I mounted the but kicker on it works on the whole 4 seats

Depends on the sound system the theater has. Step into the theater and see if you can hear!

You could, but it needs to be in the back of the room so it would need to clear your seating. The further away it is the bigger picture you can project. I bought a bracket for under $30 and put it in drywall ceiling with no studs, worked perfectly. Awesome projector!

I would not recommend this for a home theater, unless you need it to be portable. If you plan on using as a dedicated home theater projector that will never be moved I would not recommend this machine. It is meant more for business applications/power point displays, etc and to be portable to move to different locations.

Yes! its Great for projecting movies, that's the reason i bought it in the first place, I projected it on a wall at a friends yard and it looked great thank even though no screen wad used, lights off of course, I don't regret buying this projector at all! :) hope this helps.

We set it up outside for our outdoor movie nights and it works great! Lots of raves from all our friends and neighbors! The speakers are not loud enough though, so we added a nice Klipsch set that is sold for computers. (2 speakers and a sub-woofer)

According to the user manual this is possible. I have found that if using the projector outside, it is much loader if the back of the unit is facing a structure (i.e. house or wall). Otherwise it does appear to be harder to hear. Other than that I have no complaints about the projector itself. It has been an excellent product overall. We plan on a Christmas celebration next month and I will be stopping into BestBuy to get advice from the Geek Squad on the best option for external speakers.

Yes. I purchased it for a commercial display without speakers and it works splendidly. Should work very well to bolster the built in speakers of a flat screen.

I have used it for movies before but i would say it is not the most suitable piece of equipment to do so. It can get too noisy in the room because of the cooler working for such a long time and the projector also heats too much after long periods of use.

I gave up trying, so I haven't checked in a while. I mostly use mine for live playing with Mainstage. But, I'd love to know the answer myself... Let me know!

I have not,but it should work. It should work with a game console as well. This is a superb projector.

It has two ten-watt speakers. In my opinion this is not sufficient for a home theater. It has a couple component out connections, one of which is for audio-so it probably could be connected to external speakers. I returned mine so quickly, I never tried this option.

Based on my experience, it should work great for your location. I use mine in a 700 sf basement with 2 small Sony speakers and it will flat blow you out if you crank it up.

I actually use an hdmi to component splitter in my setups with this projector, so that hasn't been an issue for me. Could also split off the HDMI to a stereo that accepts it if you have an hdmi splitter.

Nope! Works very well. I use it to connect a desktop to a projector that is over 15 feet away and I have no issues at all.

i suppose it could. not sure why you'd want that since your theater system will most likely need to be calibrated with everything stationary. if you move the speaker, you will have to re-calibrate. besides, if you leave the nut loose and swing it back and forth the hardware will eventually fall off. but the bolt does enter from the top, so if you wanted to leave the nut loose on the bottom for whatever reason, i guess you could do that.
