Connecting to an external monitor
To obtain the audio signal on the monitor instead of on the
projector:
• Connect the AUDIO IN sockets of the monitor to the AUDIO
OUT socket (g) of the projector.
• Insert the white plug into the L socket and the red plug into
the R socket.
Some monitors have a single AUDIO IN socket for which a
different audio connection cable with a 3.5 mm mini jack is
required.
Notes: – One external monitor or projector can be connected
at a time.
– For further details on the operation with
On Screen Displays see chapter '8 Operation'.
