I know this is an old thread, but I found it while searching for DIY projector mounts. I just bought a Optoma HD70 and want to mount it on a sloped ceiling about 18-20 ft away from projection wall. Ceiling is 15 ft at top and slops to 8ft - No attic. How would I attach a block? What would I...
Thanks to all for the help. I've decided to go with a refurbed Optoma HD70 I found on Ebay last night. Question to those who have an Optoma HD. I have 2 wall options to put a screen - one is 15' away from projector and the other is 20+ ' away. Is 20 ft too far away for this unit? I read the...
Does the H27 downscale everything above a 480P? How does the 720p/HDTV content look? Will I have any screen door at 15 ft - 101" screen? Price diff between refurbed H27 and HD65 is alot and right now this is my first attempt at a HT projector set up. Also - I think bulbs are about $100 more for...

I have an APEX AD-800 DVD Player that's about 4 years old. Nothing wrong with it and plays almost everything thrown at it. I have about 2 dozen divx files that I'd love to play on my HTS and was thinking about buying the Philips DVP 642 DVD player w/divx. I know people have posted issues with...
I just hooked up Sherwood 6.1 digital receiver RD 7108. (great deal-paid $93 new!). Anyway, I am using an Apex AD-800 DVD player w/built in decoder. Tested my hook up w/Empire strikes back in dolby digital EX (auto detected the sound source). The center speaker produced no voice track-just...
I am a newbie here and this is my first posting. I'm having trouble with an Aiwa AV D57 surround sound receiver. I bought it used because I had a 2 channel Aiwa and loved it, plus it still has phono inputs so I can play LP's (that's an important feature for me). Anyway, the problem I am...
