I am actually quite embarassed to have to do this publicly as ...

1. I own a CHINON 9500 (two of them, actually)
2. I used to know how to do this!!!

Coul anybody help me with getting the stereo audio out of this projector?

I used the RCA jack outputs on the back panel, (I guess "side panel" would be more appropriate statement), as this is a twin track projector, but apparantly, jacking straight out of the track 1 and track 2 RCA outputs, doesn't give you the two tracks seperately straight through the speakers themselves and therefore ... stereo. This is easy with the EUMIG 926 stereo.

Now, I KNOW that this can playback in stereo, but for the life of me, I don't remember how I did this way back in the late 80's, during my first run of collecting.

Any help, folks?

As far as I know this projector only has one internal speaker which makes stereo audio impossible.
However, you can probably get stereo through an external amplifier from the two sockets on the left rear of the projector, i.e. track 1 and track 2.

I'd need to see the input selection on one of these Osi to be able to see what is possible from them.
I have had a look on the front panel of one of these from a photograph but I'd hope it it has one or two more input / output sockets than what I am seeing just from the front panel.

Maurice is right, use the two "line out" sockets at the back and feed cables into a stereo amp (confirmed by user's manual, I have it but it's in French).

AHHHH!!

I needed to plug it into a stereo amplifier! OK, I have a very old school Realistic brand Dolby processor/stereo amplifier in storage in the back room of my house! I'll get it out! That should do the trick!

Yes, the projector itself has no seperate amplifiers for each channel. Just the one that each channel from the pre amp merges into.
You need to feed these pre amp signals into a seperate stereo amplifier to obtain true independent channel separation and therefore true stereo on any films you may have that were recorded that way to begin with. ☺
