Frequently Asked Questions: Audio
How can I get better sound for my presentations? I'm using a laptop and the C200.
While the internal speakers on the C200 are fine for many rooms, larger meeting rooms sometimes require more robust
sound. We suggest that you use the external speakers available with many desktop computers. These speakers plug directly
into your laptop and into a power source. You simply plug the speaker cable into the Audio Out port on the laptop (usually
the one marked with a picture of headphones), and plug the speakers into a power source. For even better sound, use a set
that includes a subwoofer. You can adjust the volume on the laptop as well as on the speakers.
Can I use the C200 with my home theater audio system?
Sure—as long as your system includes a video player such as a DVD or VCR. Consult the Video Connections Chart for more
information about connecting the C200 to video sources. Also see Video Image FAQs for questions on projecting video
images.
There is no sound from the computer or video player.
1. Make sure the audio cable is connected.
2. Make sure mute isn’t active.
3. Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the volume button on the keypad or remote.
4. Make sure that if you are connected to Computer 1 on the back of the projector, that you are also connected to the
corresponding audio in. If you are connected to Computer 2, be sure you are connected to its corresponding audio
in.
5. Adjust the audio source.
6. If you are playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.
How do I connect audio from a VCR/DVD for better sound quality?
Using a separate audio cable (standard A/V cable), connect the red and white audio out on the DVD/VCR to a pair of external
amplified speakers. Or, for the best sound, run the speaker through a separate amplifier or receiver.
