Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker(s).
The built-in speaker(s) will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.
· The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. · If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source
has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Connecting smart devices
The projector can project the content directly from a smart device by using a wireless dongle. HDMI wireless dongle (e.g. BenQ QCastMirror)

· Connect the dongle to HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 and USB TYPE-A ports on the projector and switch the input signal to HDMI 1 or HDMI 2.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the audio projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.

colors consisted of more proportions of

its two adjacent colors. Please refer to the

illustration for how the colors relate to

each other.

White

For example, if you select Red and set its

range at 0, only pure red in the projected

picture will be selected. Increasing its range

will include red close to yellow and red

close to magenta.

· Saturation: Adjusts the values to your preference. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately. For example, if you select Red
and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

· Gain: Adjusts the values to your preference. The contrast level of the
primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

46 Menu operation

We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 m ­3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between 0°C­30°C.
Operation under “High Altitude Mode” may cause a higher decibel operating noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and ambient temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under such a condition.
Selects a baud rate that is identical with your computer’s so that you can connect the projector using a suitable RS-232 cable and update or download the projector’s firmware. This function is intended for qualified service personnel. · Top Left: To correct the top left corner.
