It's a Dell 1100mp. The online manual is at http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/1100MP/eDoc/DAO/OM-DAO.pdf

Does that help?

Soundwise; the projector does have a built in speaker. We are probably going to borrow a PA system for the karakoke, but I don't know what that is beyond the fact it's a microphone and a speaker.

There is a USB, S-video, audio (it's got green jacks either end), VGA (big blue multi pin connectors each end), and I think it's the RCA to audio cable from looking at the picture in the manual (the handwritten labels on the cable say 'left and right DVD' and 'audio in on data projector').

Component - VGA, no. If the Rector did have it, it's not in the case with the rest.

Green jacks, the type you stick in the headphone socket of the laptop. 3.5mm looks right.
