I just ordered this unit and it occurred to me that projectors may not come with speakers. Is the audio out on the back digital or analog 3.5mm jack?

3.5mm jack. However, there is a speaker on the unit itself. I believe it is 10A.

3.5mm output jack. The best way to use this for home theatre is to get a separate reciever for sound. Or you can use a nice set of computer speakers with subwoofer for the cheap but still loud and clear. Hope this helps.

Yup, but they are not the best; they sound decent. I recommend using the optical audio jack on the back of the projector and connecting it to a surround sound speaker set.

Is say so as long as your projector can hook up to a speaker system. Sound will be your issue

No, external speakers cannot be connected, another downside to this projector. However, I ran coaxial cables from my BluRay player to my receiver and solved that.

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.

The solution I found was to get a connection from the projector speaker. suits you to install an RCA connector to an amplifier. I speak Spanish (Hablo español)

The one that I received does not have an audio input or speakers. It only had a video input, power input, and a third wire that I don't use.

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.

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

There is a picture focus (brightness cones from a bulb and not adjustable) and some sound. You will need speakers. Very good projector for the money :-)

It does have built in speakers but they are not of the best quality. Any home theater sound package would work fine with this projector.

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.

It uses your standard cable that plugs into a computer monitor( most people associate this as the blue ended cable). If you need sound you will need speakers if your laptop isn't loud enough. You can even hook up a VCR or DVD player, game system etc.. As long as you have a sound source for these to get plugged into. I have a set up so my xbox, pc and other things go into this projector and into a surround sound system so that I get loud enough sound. If you use this or any projector in a small room crank your ac down a few degrees or get a fan to point out the door or under the door too keep the hot air to a minimum or you will be cooking. Also this is will not do any HD stuff just basic standard definition stuff. It's a good projector, not the best, but good.

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.

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.

Dear Zachary,I just tested this on the projector I have for sale. I hooked plugged in the HDMI cable and I hooked up the audio to Bose speakers through the audio out port. The video was on screen and the sound came out of my speakers. It works great! I still have my speaker available and I hope you consider me as a seller when buying on Amazon! Thanks!- Jake Zerner
