CHAPTER 3
CONNECTING POWER AND DEVICES

Connecting external speakers

The display includes two 10 W speakers, which are designed to provide sound at the front of a
room. You can connect external active speakers if you're providing sound in a larger space. See
SMART Audio 400 classroom amplification system on page 8 for more information.
You can connect external speakers to the display using the stereo
3.5 mm out connector (pictured).
The display also provides a Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF)
optical out connector. S/PDIF is a digital audio transmission medium.
You need an audio receiver that supports S/PDIF to decode this
connection to analog for use with external speakers.

Connecting room control systems

A room control system enables users to control a room's lighting, audio system and, possibly, the
display. Some installations may require you to integrate the display with a room control system.
Refer to the display's documentation to see if it works with an external room control system.
You can use the display's RS-232 connector to connect a third-party external control system to the
display (see Appendix B: Remotely managing the display on page 61).
NOTE
Displays are not compatible with centralized remote control systems, such as a universal remote
control.
