Check the HDMI cable try a different one. Try a different HDMI port on the TV (6) Try component video.. Try a different source (DVD...)The TV is working if you are getting a menu and volume control.
The Definitive Tech ProCinema speakers are a good choice. But I would look at the 800 system and upgrade the sub to a Def Tech SuperCube 200. Denon and Marantz are the same company D & M with Marantz being the premium brand but Denons are also a good buy...
Denon E400 And Samsung F8500 ARC problem with no sound from Netflix using smart TV. Anybody know the settings and do I have to use HDMI with Ethernet. Sami HDMI port 3 to Denon HDMI out. select TV sound on Denon and nothing.Tried turning on CEC and nothing.
How about the screen in front of the window . The window will still be useful when screen is up. The wall seems large enough for towers or book shelf size speakers on stands. You will need to flexible with couch and surrounds but it will work.Start with a receiver and two speakers, then a sub...
If $300 is the number I like the Denon set up.

What video display are you using? That is a big room and there is no $300 system that will sound good in that room so it really doesn't matter which one you buy. Build a system a few pieces at a time if you can't spend more than$300 at a time. First a receiver then a pair a speakers, next a sub...
I like the Paradigms bit $399 or less you can get a brand new pair of Atoms which can be used as surround speakers and a larger pair of speakers can be purchase later and used as the fronts. I also like Denon...
You can not skip the receiver part but the hundreds of dollars part you can. I don't know about $50 cheap but you get what you pay for.http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/category/AVReceiver/Home-Audio/Home-Theater-Receivers/1.html
Why go to home depot, go to a carpenter and then paint them yourself when you can just order these?

Needing white speakers certainly narrows your search. Most, not all, speakers are black.
Projector JVC DLA=X75R for screens I like Da-Lite and Stewart. Tom Norton from HT mag advises, Don't go too big with the screen or sit too close to it. Don't assume that because a projector is expensive it will automatically work better on a larger screen. Maybe it will, but maybe it won't.

I agree with Jim on the set up. Use out door speakers connected with banana plugs for a fast connect/disconnect to the receiver. Run HDMI to the projector from the receiver in a conduit of 1 1/2" PVC pipe.

Panasonic DMP BD89 will not play Star Wars blu-ray. Plays all other disc that I tried and performed a firmware upgrade. Does anyone have a fix or do I need to return it.
Get a passive sound bar that needs a receiver like any other speaker.
From top ten review:
Passive sound bars include one or several speakers for each of the front channels (i.e., left, center and right). In the back of the speaker is a connection for each channel, which you need to attach to...
There are two kinds of HDMI cables which can both be purchased cheaply from monoprice .com. High Speed (1080P and higher) and Standard Speed 720P and 1080i). High Speed is for blu-ray, 3D, and 4K. Standard Speed is for cable or satellite TV which only delivers 720P and 1080i. If you only have...
Your Sony HTiB is your problem, it does not have the proper connections and switching for all your current and future devices. All the video to the TV all the audio to the Sony. But you said you have no inputs so you can't. An inexpensive fully functional receiver from Denon or Onkyo package...
