Playing Sound from the Video Equipment
The projector has a built-in speaker with a maximum output of 5 W. You 
can output sound from the connected video equipment (such as a computer 
or video deck) through the projectors built-in speaker if the video 
equipment has an audio output port.
In the case of the [DVI] and [Computer] ports, the [Audio] port to use is 
the port that is in the same box as the port being used to input the video 
signals. For other ports, the [Audio] port matches the port in the same box 
that is being used to input the video signals.
The audio cable to use for the connection can be either of the following, 
depending on the shape of the [Audio] port.To audio output ports

TIP
 You can adjust the volume after projection has started.   p.57 If the audio signal source is connected to the audio ports that are 
used in common with the [DVI] or [Computer] ports, the audio 
signals that are being input are output regardless of the image signal 
that is selected. The audio signals to be output using the Computer/
DVI Audio Input setting in the Audio menu can only be set to 
Computer or DVI. If using a commercially-available 2RCA (L/R)/stereo mini-jack 
audio cable, use one that is marked as No resistance.

Playing Sound from External Speakers
You can connect speakers with built-in amplifiers to the projectors [Audio 
Out] port in order to enjoy a fuller quality of sound.
Use a commercially-available audio cable with pin jack ⇔ stereo mini jack 
(3.5 mm) plugs or similar.
Use an audio cable with a plugs that match the ports for the external audio 
equipment.To external audio equipment

TIP
When a stereo mini-jack audio cable is inserted into the [Audio Out] 
port, the sound will be output to external speakers. No sound will be 
output from the projectors built-in speaker at this time.

Selecting an Image Source While Viewing Projected Images (Preview Function)
The preview function lets you project the images from the currently-
selected image source and view them in a preview screen while selecting 
the signal source.
Use the remote control to carry out all preview function operations.PROCEDURE
Press the [Preview] button on the remote control.
After a short while, a preview screen such as the one shown in 
the illustration below will appear on the screen.
When the preview screen is being displayed, the frames for 
ports that have no image signal being input or which have a 
signal being input that is not supported will be solid blue.
Press the [Source] buttons on the remote control to select the 
image source to be projected in order to change the image.
TIP
 If only one signal source has been connected, the signals from that 
source will be projected without needing to press one of the [Source] 
buttons.
 If the No Signal. message does not disappear, check the 
connections again.
 If a laptop computer or a computer with an LCD screen has been 
connected to the projector by a computer cable and the images are 
not be projected straight away, after starting projection, check that 
the computer has been set up to output signals externally. 
The following table shows examples of how to toggle output settings. 
For details, refer to the section of the documentation provided with 
your computer under a heading such as External output, 
Connecting an external monitor or similar.
 If the same still picture is projected for a long period of time, the 
projected image may become burned in on the computer screen. You 
should avoid leaving the same image displayed for long periods.
