Asked 5 years ago by Kchris6.

• A:Answer Hi Kchris6, The EX3280 does not have an audio out port. You can send video to the projector and audio to your sound bar from your A/V source, or purchase an audio separator for the EX3280's HDMI port. Then you can use the audio separator to send sound to your sound bar. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Q: QuestionCan this be connected to wifi?

Asked 5 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).
