Is there a built in limit to the audio capacity running through the projector (from DVD player)? Best external speakers for this set up?

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.

The Built in speakers are horrible. But if you need them to work, you should just have to make sure that under audio options that they are turned on and working. Then it's just as simple as giving it louder. I recommend having a small set of computer speakers to go along with this projector, since the audio is very poor as in most built in projector speakers.

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.

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.

Kathy,Although it dies allow you to import an external device, DVD player,etc, it does not come with the ability to use external speakers.

Unless you want theater sound,you don't have to spend money on external speakers. Either Tools or menu selections you will be able to adjust the sound. At present my Samsung is set on the movie setting and I have found this setting more than adequate. I 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.

I was not able to hook it up directly. I plugged the DVD sound to an external speaker and I plugged the video to the projector. Plugging the sound cable directly to the projector did not work for me.

I don't usually use the built in speaker, but I have tried it before. I had HDMI from my cable box plugged in and the audio from that was coming through the built in speaker just fine. If you're using the projector connected to a computer make sure you have an auxiliary cable running from the computer to the back of the projector. If you're doing that and its still not working then I'm not sure.

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.

The unit comes with AV inputs and has it's own speaker...a DVD player can connect to the projector but it will not load a DVD on it's own.

As far as I know there are no build in speakers. It connects to for example a laptop and then the sound will come from the laptop, not from the projector. edit: apparently there are build-in speakers, but I've never used those.

According to the user manual this is possible. I have found that if using the projector outside, it is much loader if the back of the unit is facing a structure (i.e. house or wall). Otherwise it does appear to be harder to hear. Other than that I have no complaints about the projector itself. It has been an excellent product overall. We plan on a Christmas celebration next month and I will be stopping into BestBuy to get advice from the Geek Squad on the best option for external speakers.

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.

Sorry, but I can't recommend another one as I have no other experience. I bought this unit for business purposes. Do you want to ceiling mount it? If you want it to be portable (move it from room to room, or use at work for movies) it would be fine with external speakers. In your research, just look for one with built in DVD. On the other hand, if you have a DVD player in your home theater system, and you'll only be playing it in your home theater room, then you don't really need built-in DVD. The unit you inquired about is best if you need it to be portable.
