Is there a way to hook up speakers, or do you hook them up to your player (like computer, DVD). I'm thinking big speakers for backyard movie nights.

Yes you can take the audio from the projector so you can controll the volume from the projector and hook the output to the large amp. with speakers. I prefer to just use the large amp. with speakers without using the projector to control volume.

It has audio output but it is not powerful enough to drive big speakers, you will need to either hook up the audio from your player to your speakers or the audio output from the projector to a receiver that will amplify the sound.

Hook up speakers to your source such as the computer. Or get wireless speakers.

If you want to connect big speaker, must to use the Output RCA (L & R) connector on the backplane of projector to you home amplifier.

You would find it better to connect speakers directly to your player. For an outdoor setting you will need some strong sound amplification.

Well, if you can find two bookshelves with as good of speakers as this (in which case it would cost more) and can find some way to run the same amount of power to both of them (since you only have one center speaker outlet) you can do it, but I can just about guarantee it won't sound as good and during movies and such about 80% of the sound comes through center speaker so they are very important.

I don't think you have to. Set the tuner to DVD/Blue Ray and you should have sound. You do need external speakers connected.

Wouldn't it be possible to use some good speakers with this: I mean toss out the satellites and connect some good bookshelf speakers? Has anyone tried that?

how do I connect these speakers to a turntable that has a RCA connection. Do I need to splice that cable and use speaker wire for the connection? I also just found out I will need to get an amp.

Hey, I had the same problem--you just need an RCA adaptor. Such as a speaker system that you can plug it into.

Good luck I wish you the best! The speakers do sound great! I just hooked them up to my computer and use them with it.

You do need to use headphones. That is the only way our DVD player has been used. Have never tried any kind of speaker system so can't really respond regarding that way of listening.

You need an amplifier. Just connect the amp to the player and the speakers to the amp. You can probably find how to connect amps and speakers on google.

My 40" set has an "audio out" plug just beside the component jacks in back.I simply ran a cord to an extra stereo receiver and then to some speakers. I get theater type sound in my basement. I suspect you could go directly into some bookshelf speakers if you wanted.

Yes you can, we also do it all the time. For outdoor movie watching though, I would definitely reccomend hooking up some awesome sounding external speakers. This projector works VERY well for the price!!

Are you using for indoor? I bought for outdoor movies. You definately want external speakers for this. I bought some cheap ones on recommendation first for about $50, and they were junk. Returned and bought Klipsch - ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System, and couldn't be happier. I use for outdoor movies, kids etc., and the sound is great. Projectors is a snap, couldn't be happier with the purchase, and the screen I bought as well. HDMI will cary the audio over. Not sure about the 3.5mm

Yes, it is an excellent choice for outdoor movies. That is what I use it for.On Friday nights, I set mine up with a Blu-ray player. And I use a combo (amp/speaker) bass guitar amp for big, loud sound.

It has HDMI so, yes you could hook it directly to a DVD player; but there are no speakers.

You can connect straight to speakers but you willget better sound quality if you connect to an amplifier. Hope this helps :)

Hi Kathy - I bought this projector and found out too late that you cannot easily just attach external speakers. The speakers built in to the unit are ok, not great. If you are using it in a large room, forget it. While it is a great projector, I ended up sending this one back to amazon, and got a different one that I can attach speakers to.

You can run some external speakers on the deck or patio with the addional B speakers. The type depends on your taste and costs. But if their outdoor you shouldn't have any issues finding good quality outdoor speakers. Hope I helped.
