I'm trying to connect to my desktop computer to the hitachi cp-x328 projector speakers. The desktop doesn't have audio inputs that match. What kind of adapter do I need to connect the audio cables to the computer?

Hi Becki.

Projectors will usually be identified on your computer as additional or optional screens/monitors. Depending on your setup (laptop/desktop) you may have some alt keyboard buttons with icons for single/multi screens. You will also likely have monitor control panels or non-windows equivalents. In Windows, for instance, right-clicking the desktop will usually bring up a monitor properties page. There you may be able to then select if the projector is a mirror of your desktop, an extension, projector only, or computer only.

if the computer says it sees the monitor, then you'll likely need to toggle whatever sort of menus the projector has to select the input port. Looking through the manual (
http://www.hitachi-america.us/supportingdocs/forhome/DisplayTechnologiesGroup/lcdprojectors/SupportingDocuments/cp-x251_um.pdf ) , suffice to say that there are multiple ways to connect and, with that, plenty of ways to have your cable be hooked up and ignored nonetheless.

Hoping this helps!

if you replace the old by new one, and NOT light, the problem is power unit(ballast) inside , you must go to the repair shop . Merry Christmas

Besides replacing the speaker, you can connect the unit to an external set of speakers such as surround sound, or desktop speakers, depending on what your setup allows.

Hi, does the remote control menu button do anything.

You need to allocate the correct audio port to the component input.
use the key combination

QUIT

COMPUTER (IN)1

COMPUTER (IN)2

VIDEO

S-VIDEO

COMPONENT

Select the audio port to be interlocked with the input port using the left right buttons.

Select 1 2 3 as required.\\make sure mute is not on

one of your primary colors are missing could be due to the cable (ck pin if bent) or ck the pin on the projector.

I have the same problem with a Hitachi CP-X345 Multimedia Projector. My Acer Aspire 3630 Laptop cannot be detected but it works without incident with a Dell Vostro 1500; just plug and play. Desktop settings to second screen doesn’t seem to help.

I would bypass the speakers from the projector and connect the audio output from the DVD to a sorround sound system or to computer speakers.
