Thank you for your response. I was unaware of what a Y cable is until now. I ended up buying a receiver and speakers. Its good information to know though.

im thinking of buying it too, I already have the surround sound system and ps3 but am wondering how to hook up the sound for the ps3. Easy enough for the cable. run the audio cables from the DVR to the surround sound and the HDMI cable to the projector. But the ps3? Ok i run the HDMI from the ps3 to the projector...but if there isnt an audio out how do i get the sound from the ps3 to the surround sound?

Your right, the mount didnt fit right. I read a review that said he had an optima 70 and used it for the hd20 with no problem. I managed to get it hooked up, who knows for how long. The projector is great, blue ray and ps3 games look crazy good. I just ordered these optical cables tonight....all good reviews. AmazonBasics Toslink Digital Audio Optical Cable (6 Feet/1.8 Meters). I ordered 3, I'm getting them on friday and will let you know how they work.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

thanks. I ordered the projector. I also ordered a surround sound home theater system that I will hook up to my playstation 3 for audio. I'm excited. It is going to suck hooking all this stuff up though!

I'm going to look at getting an optical cable. thanks. I read some reviews on the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mount that say its not compatible with the optoma hd20.

what I ended up doing was using a hdmi cable for audio. I have a hdmi cable going from the projector into the receiver. Then a hdmi cable from the receiver to the ps3. I turn the projector screen on by using the receiver remote and a display box for the reiciever comes up on the projector screen to make adjustments. I hear that optical cables work just as good.

The projector does not have an audio out. You would have to hook the speakers up to the component that is providing your video and audio signals to the projector.

Hi. The projector will do the following with a HDMI input. Audio will play via the inbuilt speakers. If you plug into the headphone socket, the inbuilt speakers are muted and the HDMI audio is ported through the headphone socket to your amp/speaker system or headphones.

Hello, in response to your question, if you have just basic speakers (for example I use computer speakers), and you set it somewhere away from you. Then yes you will be able to hear and enjoy your movie just fine:) You must have a projector and connect the speakers directly up to the projector itself. Hope this helps, good luck.

You can hook up speakers to your source (DVD player, TV, etc). Or, you can use the mini-jack in the back of the projector, but first you have to plug in the audio from the source to the projector! Typically, that is RCA-to-minijack.
2203116
Correct. If you want to hook up your own speakers, you have to use audio outs on either your cable box or blu ray player. Keep in mind that the latest models of blu rays dont have component outputs anymore either. There's only one hdmi output on this epson. I just bought an hdmi audio extractor from amazon which allows you to split the hdmi and gives you audio outs for speakers. Havent tried it yet but learned about through other people's reviews.

Bose is a different beast to the rest of the audio world!90% of the time you have to use Bose stuff to work with Bose stuff.I suggest you contact the manufacturing people of the devices ans see what they say...sorry

I play my projector thru my computer. My computer is capable of surround sound. I just tell it to pump the sound out thru the computer instead of the hdmi.
830052
How you connect depends on what kind of outputs your source has. If your PC or projector has digital outs, opitical or RCA, then that is the way to go to get the best sound. You can use bluetooth, but as you know bluetooth sound is not the best, but not horrible either.

In the previous response I hit yes by accident. I am not sure what you are asking because this is an adapter that you use on some Bose products if you have bare speaker wire. The bare wire could be coming from a receiver, amplifier or whatever you are using to power the speaker. Whatever it is, you will need bare speaker wire coming from that electronic item going into this adapter which will be connected to the back of the Bose speaker. So to answer your question no you don't have to have a receiver to use the adapter but you will need something that use bare speaker wire to power the Bose speakers. Hope this helps with your question. In the previous response I hit yes by accident.

Hi, are you using USB directly on the projector? If so, it should work fine. Cheers.
1185164
you can use rca cable input and output on the projector for audio connection. Or for the external speakers, you can lead a cable from the video source to a Powered speaker or through a receiver for a non-powered speaker.
1350062
You may hook your projector up via HDMI if you have an HDMI input on it or simply use it as a monitor for which RCA outputs are provided. The receiver drives your speakers directly through speaker wires. HDMI audio output is really only used when the receiver is turned off and your projector cannot use HDMI audio anyway if I understand you correctly. Hope this helps.

You need some sort of audio device in your system whether it be a built-in or an expansion card. If you computer has 6 audio ports you should be good. I've never had any issue hooking up 5.1 speakers to any computer. Also, consider some Logitech speakers, these actually aren't that great.

I connected the projector to my iPad with an HDMI cable I bought separately for $11 and since the iPad has Bluetooth, I turned on my portable Bose speaker and it was amazing, especially watching a movie. You can also connect a USB device directly into the projector. I love this device.

There is one audio output on the projector- a 3.5mm headphone jack. This will work for stereo, but may not be the best for a full 5.1 system. I ended up getting an HDMI -&gt; HDMI / Optical audio extractor (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBHX072/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687782&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B005COKXCO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=194PA6VV2MQ8HM2YAQRM) to accomplish your goal.

Yes there is a built in limit to the audio capacity running through the projector. i personally bi-pass the speaker setting in the projector and use the audio setting thru my laptop and play the audio thru my laptop thru blue tooth to a wireless blue tooth speaker. The wireless blue tooth speaker i went with is from Costco and i get great volume and great sound quality. another option for you is to go to a music store (where they sell amp's, drum sets, ect) and they will have blue tooth speakers with built in amps for DJ's and those really kick butt... in short the audio capacity in the projector is really terrible but the picture is great in dark settings.

No, there is no audio output on this projector. For best audio you would need to run you audio into a AV receiver, to run audio to external speakers or sourround sound, then run an HDMI, VGA or compenent cable to the Projector for the video.
