Can anyone recommend how to hook this projector up to external speakers? The speakers on this are not too good for outdoor movie showings.

The unit does not have audio outputs.. You will have to connect an additional audio source from the device being used for the projector. If a laptop is being used, you need to hook up a pair of speakers to that using the 3.5 mm audio output from the laptop. (a decent quality computer speaker system should work fine) .. If a DVD player is being used, you will need an additional audio amplifier with speakers to be connected from the DVD player itself, (usually RCA type connections).

Your music system should have blutooth option. If you are playing the video from laptop or ar desktop that has usb port then You need to buy bluetooth adapter for the laptop/desktop. Its a small USB device. This will convert your sound from your laptop/desktop to music system. After you connect the music to your sound system through blooth, Goto sound settings and select default as bluetooth/sound system name.

There are no external speaker outputs. There is an audio input. If you want to send an audio signal to this monitor and another source like external speakers, just split the signal before the input.

You would need a surroundsound stereo receiver in order to get your surroundsound. The projector does not provide a audio 3.5 mm output. If you use HDMI or RCA connections on the back of the projector the sound will only come out of the projector speaker.

All you need to have a Receiver to connect External speaker. I connected my Epson To Denon DHT- 391XP 5.1 channel home theater ststem. I am hanging the projector from ceiling. I also connected Samsung blue ray player to watch DVD and Blueray. Recently I added new WD player to receiver my so that now I am watching all formats of contents. Hope this helps. Happy watching and Happy holidays. Merry christmas.

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

We just ran an HDMI cable. Provides both video and audio to the projector (the internal speaker is adequate for small to medium sized rooms). If you're using a Mac, I believe you can purchase an adapter that will let it plug into the HDMI cable. VGA is always an option and will adapt to the Mac as well, but you will need external speakers for audio amplification.

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.

Hi beck. I am sorry I can't answer that for you. We only use it for our business in meetings and trainings. I am sure that it would be fine as a home projector as well. I just don't know about outdoors. I am sorry I am very little help here. Enjoy your summer. Cindy

We use ours for outdoor movie nights all summer and it works great. We hook up an extra speaker since we usually invite others. We have no complaints about this projector, it was an awesome projector and perfect for indoor/outdoor family movie nights.

Would recommend using receiver to power speakers not sure if the can be connected to your projector

Yes, it works for movies outdoors. We did it and it was good. BUT it's got to be really dark (only 500 Lumens!) and the speaker is very tinny. There's no plug to connect an amplifier or external speakers.

Picture quality is awesome. However- not sure about your setup, but a short throw doesn't make much sense for an outdoor projector. Also not sure about brightness for outdoors, since there tends to be a lot of light outside that you can't control. Probably safer to look elsewhere.

You should run your sources (e.g. DVD/BluRay player) into a home theater receiver, and HDMI output from the receiver to HDMI input of the projector. The receiver will drive your speakers. If you connect an HDMI source directly to the projector, it will decode stereo audio only and play it only on small internal speakers.

No, you are not able to connect external speakers directly to the projector, but you should be able to output sound to external speakers by connecting them directly to the video equipment or computer you have connected to the projector.

I use my speakers from my computer. I bought a set with a sub woofer. Then plug into the front of the movie mate. And then you can turn up the sound on the speakers as well as the moviemate
