    HELP - ONKYO receiver won't power up

    UPDATE : With all of the speakers unplugged, the receiver still powers up and immediately shuts down. I have been reading posts in here regarding a similar issue and it all relates to wiring. I guess I hope this falls under warranty.

    OK I do have the DVD with the component out connections and that cable came with the projector. So I will order a long one of those and the DVD is taken care of.

    Thanks a lot all. I knew I could count on ya. It is a digital projector. I am sure this is a stupid question but when you mount the projector upside down, it must be able to flip the image right . . .
