Infocus lp435z projector sound?

Banana

I have a infocus lp435z projector and the sound comes out from the computer, but not from the projector. What can I do for it to come out from the projector? HELP

Answer
Projectors do not have any audio connections to them. You need an external source for the audio. That is why they are called projectors. Hope this will help you out.

Projectors?

Pasky M

I have a few questions about projectors, I am going to get one to put in my room that I want to hook my computer up to to play games on a huge screen, i want to wathc movies on it through my computer, and I want to be able to watch local t.v. chaneels on it somehow. (my budget is I'm trying to keep it under $1000 including projection screen; I already have a sound system so that's not in my budget)

Q1: What projector should I get?
Q2: I get that the amount of lumens means how bright it can get, so what would be a good amount of lumens?
Q3: What would be a good contrast ratio? (I know the higher the better, but what is minimum amount the projector should have?)
Q4: What brand?
Q5: Where should I get it (Newegg, Bestbuy, Tigerdirect?)
Q6: Is a projector worth it instead of a tv? (I have enough space for up to 200 inches, so I thought a projecter would be a good idea, because then I could roll up the screen when I didn't need, and use the space, and it's cheaper than a big t.v.)
Ummmmm.. one thing I forgot is: is there anyway I can hook my projector up to local t.v.? (like bunny ears). I also understand that all t.v. will be digital by february of next year, so could I use a digital box to get local channels to play on my projecter?

Answer
Lets see If I can help



Q1: What projector should I get?

You want to make sure that the pj you get has a native resolution of at least 1280 X 720 so you can experience 720p HD. You should be able to find one for less than $800 and I actually just picked up an Optoma HD70 for about $650 after rebate.

Q2: I get that the amount of lumens means how bright it can get, so what would be a good amount of lumens?

Anything between 1000 and 1200 should be good. You get too many Lumens and you risk washing out the picture.

Q3: What would be a good contrast ratio? (I know the higher the better, but what is minimum amount the projector should have?)

I'd look for at least 2000:1

Q4: What brand?

There a gazillion of them but I prefer Infocus, Optoma or Epson and have had good experiences with all of them.

Q5: Where should I get it (Newegg, Bestbuy, Tigerdirect?)

For gods sake not Best Buy. Personally I have bought a few from Tigerdirect, but before I do I will do a search for the specific item on Yahoo Shopping so I can compare all of the online prices.


Q6: Is a projector worth it instead of a tv?

Absolutely! Watching HD on the big screen will BLOW YOU AWAY! I have been slowly replacing ALL my TV's with projection

Dell 2400 mp Projector! NO SOUND!!! HELP!?

Jose C

I have the dell 2400 mp projector and theres no sound at all!

I Need help!!!! Any pictures of how it should be setup would help alot or videos! Thanx

Answer
I hope you didnt buy this projector for gaming. This is a multimedia projector, used for presentations and slide shows, not gaming. For gaming you would need a Home Theater projector. It would have all the available ports for audio and video. Most dont have speakers, but they will have the proper ports for connecting a surround sound system to it. It would also give you much better performance. It is possible to hook the audio up to this, but be prepared for wires running to and from the projector, and having to buy adapters for your audio cables.

You would need to buy an adapter that converts your red/white audio cables to a headphone jack type cable, and 2 female - female composite adapters. You would run your audio cables from your xbox, use the F to F adapters at the ends, then attach the composite to headphone cable to that, plug that into the Audio IN of your projector. Then run the cable that would normally plug into your PC from your computer speakers into the Audio OUT port of your projector.

Like I said, not meant for gaming, but its possible

Projector Screen Sound?

justus5

I have a Optoma Proj H31 connected to my cable box and I have no idea how to get the sound to work. It does not have internal speakers, what kind of connector do I need?

Answer
Justus - Do not use the speakers inside the projector unless you are really desperate - they will sound terrible. You need to get at least two normal speakers and a home theater receiver. That will work great.

If you insist on connecting the cable box audio out to the projector, you will need a pair of very long RCA cables:
