@Mike Spice - "is there anything, a hum? or a buzz? Volume up really loud, no film. Anything in the speaker?" - No, nothing at all.
"Internal speaker or external speaker? Try both?" - internal. I didn't have the right plug size to try all three jacks. There are two jacks labeled "Mon1 and Mon2" that I plugged a head set in separately. No sound. The third had a bigger jack (and I only had smaller plugs) and I think it was a combined output (track 1 and 2).
"Try the headphone socket, if there is one." - There is one headset jack that I didn't have the correct plug for. I will track one down for that.
"is there a line input you could plug in an ipod and play music through it so see if the amplifier is alive in record mode? (no film in)." - I think there is. Because you can add music to one of the tracks. I didn't think of trying an ipod. I'll see if I can hook it up. (I need to make sure i have the right jack size.)
"Is there a line out, you could try an external amplifer." - I don't know. I didn't think so, but I'll check the manual. There are some older jacks that i don't have plugs for.
"3.5mm jack lead, set the projector in record (with no film in) and try to monitor the input..." - this I don't understand. How would you monitor the input?

@Melvin England It was the lower cover where all the knobs were. I couldn't get the back cover off - it was sticking and I didn't want to force it, for fear of breaking it. There's probably a trick to it. Is there another way to get in there?
quote: Dominique - You say you have taken off the cover? Do you mean the back one? If that is so and you have removed it a short distance from the projector, it will mean that the speaker was not connected. Look at the loudspeaker. There should be a couple of metal prongs sticking out somewhere. Now look in the projector in the same area. You should see a couple of spare loose wires (could be black) with a connector on them not connected to anything. These connectors slide onto the prongs of the loudspeaker. Fingers crossed, you will have sound. Good luck!
