Optoma MovieTime DV10 projector how to turn off the speakers

[pcslookout]

I am talking about the horrible 2 speakers it comes with. I can't seem to find a option to turn them off. They sound horrible.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

You have it already?

The speakers don't turn off when you use the audio outputs on it?

What does the manual say?

 

[pcslookout]

Yes.

No they don't. I am using my headphones right now on audio out and the speakers play as well.

Well nothing about how to turn off the speakers

 

[pcslookout]

I don't want speakers for sound. I use my headphones all the time.

Looks like you cannot turn off the built-in speakers unless you're using the digital audio output.

I thought you said you weren't going to use the built-in DVD player?

Well I can but I really don't want to because it doesn't play divx I don't think.

What does the digital audio output look like? A headphone type jack? If so I am using that but for my headphones.

It has a digital optical output. That's like a little plastic square-ish hole with a red light.

You'd need a DAC in order to use headphones with that.

If you were to use your DVD player, you'd just send video to the projector and take the audio straight from the DVD player.

Anyway to fool the dvd player in thinking their is a digital optical cable plugged into the digital optical output so the speakers will turn off and I can just use my audio in port for my headphones for right now ?

What I want to end up doing is getting sound from my santa cruz sound card that is installed in my computer. Thats what I did when I was using a 25 inch tv and watching movies.

Would any sound damping material silent the 2 built in speakers on maximum volume ?

Well I think the way that you mute the speakers is that you use tha digital audio output and then turn the volume all the way down. That would also cause your headphones to stop working since the volume of the speakers and analog audio output is linked.

You'd have to actually use the digital audio output, not just fake it into thinking you're using it.

You'll have no issues once you're using the computer as source. Just feed the video to the projector and the speakers will have nothing to play. Use the audio output from the TBSC for your headphones.

Before you start covering stuff up on the projector, you should make sure that the holes for the speakers have nothing to do with the ventilation of the unit. Projector bulbs get very hot and they need airflow to keep them cooler.

Thanks!

There should be a way to turn off the speakers. Oh well.

Well there is only one problem with my stupid Philps DVP 5140 dvd player It only has composite.

It doesn't look that great.

Is S video or composite better?

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

If you wanted to get fancy (and void your warranty), you could try to disconnect the speakers

How would you do that? Now I can see one advantage of a built in dvd player on a projector. Don't have to worry about how the dvd player is connected!

Though the built in dvd player I think is limited to how many file formats it can play. It can't play nearly as many file formats as the philps dvp 5140 dvd player inless its a philps dvp 5140 built in someway.

I doubt that if it is wow but I don't think so sense all philps dvp 5140 dvd players have only composite.

Wouldn't it be just easier to buy sound dampering material to keep the speakers from being heard at all even at the maximum volume?

You could try that, but I don't know what kind of results you'd get.

No matter how much you block the main area the sound is coming out, you're not going to be able to surround the whole internal speaker with sound dampening material. You're limited with what you can do due to the projector needing to be well ventilated.

To disconnect the speakers, you'd need to open it up and hope it looks easy

Composite output is going to suck. Are you sure that's all it has as video output?

Yellow "Video Out" = a single RCA connection = Composte = Crap

Green + Red + Blue "Component Video Out" = 3 RCA connections = Component = Good

The speakers only play if you are using the projector to play a DVD or you have some sort of audio in connected to it. If you aren't using the built-in DVD player, you have nothing to worry about.
