You have to go into the menu and select "rear ceiling" to flip the image if you ceiling mounted your unit. What type of connection are you using?

"no sound"

99% of projectors do not have sound.

And the focus is adjusted by the lever on top (or the bottom, if you have it ceiling mounted) near the lens.

Did your projector come with a manual??

99% seems a bit too high, I've seen a lot of projectors that have sound capability.

Having said that, the HD70 does not.

The 2 watt speaker in a data projector is not what you want for home theater. It barely works in a conference room meeting.

You are right. I should have said 99% of home theater projectors.

Home theater units, okay. Most of (if not all) of my experience is with business class or data units. So my experience is skewed. I'll keep that in mind next time. Thanks.

-1 All you need is a sub to go along with it and you're good! :)

If it's not loud enough just run 4 watts to it! :D

It saddens me to say it is not. I looked through Beverly's posts and she seems legit.

I guess BeverlyJean doesn't really need help. Won't come back and give us any details with which to work with.

They should start putting this logo beside all the other logos on Home Theater electronics. :)

Why are you "guys" jumping all over BeverlyJean's post? I have read many threads (99%+ from male members) that didn't know that home theater PJs don't have sound capability.

Since the advertisements just say that HDMI connections include the audio signal and no other connections are necessary, most HT first timers don't realize that there is a difference between front projectors and other types of video displays.
