OK.... First I have finally got the actual walls constructed in my down stairs Theater. Second I have been wiring like a "MAD MAN" per my wife, and it looks like an Octopus exploded.lol. Third... I'm almost done with the wiring, and need some help.
My Basement will consist of 3 Main rooms including the largest as the Theater (19'6"wX23'-00"D). The other rooms will consist of a Poker Room and Game Room which each will have a Flat-Screen LCD at some point. They each have ceiling speakers as well.
My Theater Room consists of Klipsch Speakers in a 7.1 setup with 2 subs. An Epson HC6100 LCD Projector with a 110" screen, A Yamaha Receiver (Model- RXV863), Direct TV DVR, and I will be purchasing a Blue Ray Player and Hooking up a Computer(for streaming) in The future after I get the room finished.
Before I get ready to put up the sheetrock though I am wanting to make sure I have hopefully everything prewired as good or better than I will need to make it work like I want to. I did put a 2" conduit line from the control room to the projector, so I should be able to pull any new wiring to it without much hassell. I ran plenty of pull wires as well to make this easier. My biggest concern is the 2 additional rooms. I am wanting to be able to display what is showing in the Theater on those as well during a movie if needed, and also wanting to be able to play music in those rooms if having a party or friends over from the main system over the ceiling speakers. I have never hooked anything like this up before.
I know the receiver I have has 2 Zones for seperate areas/setups, but what do I need to run to the Tv's to make sure I have what I need. They are too far for HDMI cables, so I have run RG6 Coax for pic(I know it won't be HD, but go to the Theater if you are that into the movie or game), and will need something for audio. What do you suggest? Also do you have any suggestions on what I will need to have the 2 TV's hooked into the system like I am talking about? I was figuring something as a splitter, but maybe you will have a better Idea.
I think this setup will have a good pic, sound, and I will be very happy when I can finally enjoy it. I have been doing a ton of research as I go along, and this site has really helped with a lot of questions. I realize I have purchased a lot of things that could have waited until I got the room ready, but I got a good deal on all of it through a friend that was manager at a retail store. I still have several thousand $$$'s spent so far, and just want it the way I hoped it would be. Thanks for everything, and any advice is appreciated.

ps... I hope to post some pics soon
