    DTS/THX demo doesn't work-is it the dvd or my equiptment?

    I just ordered this dvd demo off ebay and when I got it today I couldn't get all of the clips to play with sound. I have an Infocus 4805 projector, an Onkyo HTB, Panasonic dvd player (about 5 years old) but says dts right on it. I have no problems getting great surround sound out of other...

    Which screen? Free Infocus screen, DIY blackout or DYI white board from Home Depot?

    drobbins- You answered my question. If the DIY screen is as good as the pull down I would prefer that. I am not only concerned with the picture quality but also how it looks on the wall. They look like plasma's to me, at least in pictures I have seen. Did you put a border around it? How does...

    Which screen? Free Infocus screen, DIY blackout or DYI white board from Home Depot?

    Jim, the size isn't the issue. I would make them all about 76 inches. I was just wondering which one of the three would really give me the best picture. I would think the pulldown would have the nicest at first but I would worry that it would start to get creases after awhile of going up and...

    Which screen? Free Infocus screen, DIY blackout or DYI white board from Home Depot?

    I have a pull down 76 inch screen that was free with my Infocus 4805 but have just been using my wall while finishing up my basement. Before I put up the screen I wanted to check some other options. I really like the look of the fixed screens more and have heard great things about the DYI...

    Onkyo 770- How to hook up DVD if you are already using component inputs

    I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!! It was something as simple as not selecting the right audio outputs for the sound. All the wires were correct. Once I got that figured out, everytime I went back to TV the picture was all scrambled. I have to hit the source button on the projector each time I go back...

    Onkyo 770- How to hook up DVD if you are already using component inputs

    I am running component video from my cable box to my Onkyo receiver and then component to my projector. I have tried to hook up the DVD with component but it looks like the only way to get audio and video from the DVD is to use S cable and a digital optical. I ran the S cable but NO video...

    Need a little help setting up my 4805 with Onkyo 770 & DVD please

    Okay, thanks John. I'll get a component cable and a digital cable today and run them both from the dvd to the receiver. Sounds easy but I will find a way to screw it up. :)

    Who has a 4805 hooked up Time Warner-install question

    My projector will be about 10 feet from the HD box. Will they run the cable from the box for me or do I have to? With my other HD cable box they used their own cables and hooked everything up but it was only one shelf away from the tv. Thanks!

    Does anyone elses Infocus do this?

    I just got a 4805 have only played around with it on my living room wall but I have a question. When I turn on the power it starts to turn on, then hesitates or shut down for a second and then turns on. Once it is on it works great. It doesn't seem to be a problem but I was conserned that it...

    Who's using the free pull down 76" screen with the Infocus 4805?

    And what do you think of it? I just got the 4805 and was wondering if I am going to want to wait for the free screen which is a mail in rebate so it could take about 6 to 8 weeks or go with something else. The two things I wonder about are it being to small (sitting about 12ft away) and...

    Jim, that is a whole different dilema that I am struggling with! :) My plan a year and a half ago when I built my house was a 51 to 57 inch Sony or Hitachi. Now that I am close to buying it, it seems like there are so many options in my price range. I have to admit that I really want...
