I'm about to begin laying cables for our new home theater. I'm a newbie in this realm, though I've spent quite a bit of time reviewing the various online bbs and newsgroups on the subject--and frankly I'm more confused than ever. I'd appreciate good advice on what cables I need to connect the following equipment, A to B to C, etc. Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR7000 (5.1) Speakers: Vienna Acoustics Schönberg Series (Schönberg, Webern, Berg) Subwoofer: SVS PB10 Projector: InFocus SP4805 Screen: Goo painted DVD Player: OPPO DV971H Game Console: PS2 PS2 add-ons: EyeToy camera, SingStar microphones, Pelican Predator II wireless controllers Satellite Receiver: Kathrein DV3S516 Home networked computer (Cat5 cable) Power Center: Monster Home Theater Reference Power Center That's the whole enchilada. My wife thinks I'm way over my head with this project, and she's probably right--so of course I'd love to prove her wrong. Thanks in advance!

Have a home theater with a built-in projector (attatched to ceiling) - In Focus Screenplay 4805. Anyway, the bulb burned out a few months ago and I replaced it ($350!!) - worked fine. Just today, as we were watching, the picture went black (no pop or flash or anything) and the projector sounded as if it were operating, then going off, then turning on again, etc., but no picture. When working properly, it does make a bit of background noise (I think the fan to cool the bulb goes on and off as needed), but this sound was too frequent, like it was trying to work, but wouldn't make it, then would try again, repeatedly. Even after letting it cool and restarting everything - nothing. I took out the bulb and I don't see anything obvious wrong with it. I don't want to spend another $350 and find out that it's not the bulb. Anyone with similar problems or ideas to check without spending mucho cash on a service call? Thanks

I've been looking all over for a 5.1 or 7.1 HTIB with wireless rear speaker capability, optical audio input, component video input, two HDMI inputs, and at least one HDMI output(1080i at least). I'm sure someone will suggest an extravagant Bose system, but I'm hoping for one that won't break the bank. Do any such products exist? (an optical audio output would be icing on the cake)

One that could be converted to wireless would be great. I would like to spend no more than $500. Less if possible. Any suggestions?

How do i adjust the rear wireless speaker volume. It is very soft compared to the front speakers and when watching surround the effects are very minimal.

Please answer this I am really searching for a projector and I think this one is the best one out there and I might get it. I just want to see how good it projects, in a video of it. So please can someone tell me where I can a video of the SONY VPLVW50 Home Theater Projector?
