Q: QuestionHow do I connect a sound bar to this projector?

Asked 4 years ago by Kchris6.

• A:Answer Sadly not. It only has support for VGA, and HDMI 1.0 which does not allow for sound pass thru from the HDMI cable back to the soundbar. You will need to get a Audio Splitter to use a soundbar and I would suggest doing so. The sound on the 3280 is very low. Also not it does not support bluetooth or any smart capabilities. You can use Chromecast or a Firestix but again I would suggest a audio splitter or even a amp. One of the higher end models - speakers might be better. Not sure as this is my 1st projector. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionCan this be connected to wifi?

Asked 4 years ago by AshleyW.

• A:Answer No it can NOT. This projector has no smart capabilities. You can use a firestix or a Chromecast. Also keep in mind the speakers are weak. If wanting to use a soundbar also look into a Audio Splitter. This unit only has VGA and HDMI 1.0 support so it does not allow for the audio to be passed back thru to a sound bar. (no Arc or eARC).
