    Ok. I've got the manual...its an easy download. Guy remembers struggling with it's inputs for 7hrs, but can't remember how it was hooked up in the end. They used it for a drive-in.

    RCA RTB10223 surround sound...I feel I'm overlooking something too, but it's extremely frustrating. I hope nothing is wrong with the projector...people I bought it from said it worked perfectly, but didn't have anything to hook up to it for images...
