Asked 8 months ago by Anthony.

• A:Answer Hello Anthony. The Home Cinema 980 doesn’t have built-in Bluetooth, but you can still connect a streaming device like Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, or another video source that offers Bluetooth connectivity and use it with the projector. If you have self-powered speakers, you can also connect them to the projector using the Audio Out port. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
