I have finally finished my theater and was trying to hook up the projector, I thought with all the research here and studing I could do this,...........Wrong................, now I need your help

Projector-Optoma HD80 1080p
Digital Cable Box- Scientific Atlanta HD8300
Onkyo Surround- HT SR-800
PlayStation 3

OK I hooked the incoming cable to in on cable box
ran a HDMI cable from the HDMI port to HDMI-1 in on reciever
Same thing with PlayStation3 HDMI to HDMI-2 to reciever
Ran a HDMI 20 footer from HDMI out on the reciever to the PJ

Tried all the inputs on the PJ and they say no signal, I setup the reciever as directed in the manual, Is this Onkyo system not compatiable, Sure hope not, I will try to hook it direct without the reciever and see if that works. Be back shortly...........Dan

Re: Need some help Please, Optoma HD80

Dan, it may be the length of the HDMI run from the receiver to the projector. A signal booster of some kind might help.

First thing I would try is hooking one of the components directly to the 20' HDMI and see if you get a picture. If so you know the issue is either a problem with the receiver (signal strength or settings) and can troubleshoot there.

If you don't get a picture try hooking a component up directly to the PJ with a short cable so you can rule out PJ problems.

Every child has many wishes. Some include a wallet, two chicks, and a cigar, but that's another story.

Thanks for the reply Doug, I did that and it worked fine, I then realized I needed to identify the inputs and now all works fine, The funny thing is I need to run a fiber optic cable for the sound because my reciever is a 1080p pass thru system and the audio goes straight thru, I think I got it, so have a great weekend and Thanks again......................................Dan
