What about the audio connectivity? Every picture or spec. info doesn't go into depth of what kind of external portable speakers can I add

it does not have audio output its meant to be used as a projector connected to a external video player and most external players have a audio output and if users want to use this on the go it has a built in speaker our mx 400 has a audio output with much more connection capabilities but it is more expensive

No....only an external speaker can be connected (which is highly recommended)

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.

Yes. The speakers aren't as bad as you might think. I still have mine hooked to external speakers, though.

Yes. The built in speaker it comes with is ok, but mine sounds great with external speakers.

im just blasting music from my laptop. I did try to "tame" the speaker last night, found some balance. But then a totally different song would play and the clip light would go on again. In my bedroom I don't need much volume. But in a wide open living room, I want more. I want it to stay crisp and punchy but louder. You think I need to upgrade?

All I see on it is an "Aux in" plug, where you can presumably plug in an external source (like a tape deck), and there's also a USB jack on the front, which I've never used for anything. If you have USB speakers you might try them out and if they work then USB headphones might also, if there is such a thing as USB headphones. I just listen to CDs on the built-in speakers so I haven't tried out all the features. If the user manual is on-line it may have more info. Good luck! Marie

I don't think there is any Bluetooth connectivity here. My iPad does not see it. My iPhone 4S does not see it. There is no Bluetooth symbol or sticker on the speakers anywhere. I'm not sure what the item description: "Superb gaming sound effects via Bluetooth,DBB to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level." is referring to. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has connected to it themselves as it would be useful to have my iPad oriented horizontally (for movies) and still use the speakers (undocked).

Do you have the Mini USB cable (Power) connected? If yes, the only other thing that comes to mind is that the frequency of the speakers is messing with the picture. Unplug the external speakers from the device and then try it again.

I own a powerbook and it works fine out of the mini display port. It's a video device only. Porting sound to an external speaker is easy - just plug into the earphone jack.

It's not a MacBook Pro so if you want good sound, get a good set of external speakers. It has bluetooth so you can use those kind if you want. I have a Beats Pill that i use with mine.

There is audio jack besides the power jack . just plug your speaker on it and enjoy

Speakers are probably a good idea, depending on what you use it for. The internal ones are decent, but not the best. As far as which ones are compatible, I'm not sure. I run mine through a stereo, which has worked well for me with my set-up.

I connected to a Bose Companion Speaker system. I have also connected it to my amplifier and stereo speakers. Both I owned already. If you think about the Phorus like your iPhone or laptop, how would you connect those at your house today to play to speakers? Phorus also has speakers you can buy but not included with this.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

I agree with Joseph. You can use the auxiliary / headphone port to attach external speakers

There's a headphone jack, but not a real speaker connection. You could use computer-style speakers with the headphone jack, but it's on the front, so the connection isn't hidden at all. HTH.
