Can you mute the internal speakers? I want to play the sound via a Bose system, not via the Epson projector.

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.

You don't have to use the built-in speakers if you don't want to. The sound doesn't come through the HDMI cable, it comes from a second audio cable... just like you would use to any external speakers.

The projector has an hdmi port which is used to connect either a computer or blue-ray dvd player. The projector itself has internal speakers but does not itself have a bluetooth interface. I would assume that if your computer or tablet were bluetooth enabled you could connect the speakers through these devices.

No. There is no audio out on the Bose Solo TV sound system. You could perhaps install a 'Y' from your TV and shut the Bose down when you want to listen privately, but it cannot connect to the Bose. If your TV out is 1/8" stereo jack then this might work. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103870 If your TV out is RCA the perhaps two of these is your answer. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103709&numProdsPerPage=60

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

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.

First off, complain to Sony. If enough other people do, they might just make a firmware upgrade with a setting to turn this off. In the meantime, you could use a learning remote like the Harmony series for example to mute the sound before turning off the tv and unmute sound (a volume down keypress may be the surest way to do this) after turning on the tv. Alternately, you should be able to disable the internal speakers with one of the menu options or at least turn the volume down to zero and simply use external speakers. Even a cheap stereo CD player and radio may have more bass than tv speakers anyway. First off, complain to Sony.

You can only hear the noise if you are using the speakers from the projector. We have our projector connected to a speaker system and never hear noise when watching a movie or gaming. It's a none issue in my opinion. The projector is outstanding.

Hello, I have not added external speakers as of yet. I was looking to attach it to my BOSE System for a better sound. There are a lot of good products out there at many prices. Look for something you like that is compatible for the unit.

no, you cannot. ours also malfunctioned - played music without any little hands nearby - so it would sound off randomly. we got rid of it.

The only way I can see would be take it apart and disconnect the speakers, but why turn it off? The sounds make it awesome, annoying for parents maybe but a blast for the kids.

I don't think you can, but it is possible to pry open the top and remove the speaker. (It's right behind the little sound holes on the side of it.) Works fine without sound now.

No but you can simply unplug it from the port. Pretty easy and definatly a solution when you don't have sound drivers for on-board sound card.
