I got it in April '13 so it is still less than a year old. Should still be under warranty.

I bought an Onkyo HT-S5500 last April. It has worked fine but I just went to use it and the head unit won't turn on. I've tried the wall outlet and it's still good. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks Sam, just ordered the 50 footer.

Sorry for all the noob questions but what do you use for the 'middle cable'? Also, I didn't see the ends on Amazon.

Sam, Any thoughts on where to buy a 35" mono cord? I just checked with Monoprice and they claim they don't have any. The guy at monoprice told me I could just use a stereo cord with a mono adapter on each end but doesn't seem like that would work. I guess I could also string a few mono cords...

Sam,Thanks for the info. I don't understand what you mean by this:"You could probably run a pair of wire across, then just cut the TS you already have and splice. I'd try that first. "Thanks,Eddie

Sam,The projector has an rj-45 end. The wires were a pain to run thought the ceiling so was really hoping to figure out a solution so I didn't have to pull them out and redo with a new wire. I'll try a few more things and if no luck, will start over.Anyway to go from the stereo then to a mono...

I have an epson 8350 projector and an Elite spectrum screen. I originally bought a cheap mono wire from radio shack to test the trigger out and it worked fine. I then purchased a longer (35') cord from monoprice and for whatever reason, can't get it to work. The monoproce cable has two wires...

Heard back from Elite and got it adjusted. Attached is their directions if anyone else needs them.

I have an 84" Elite Spectrum screen. I'm going to use the trigger out to have the screen come down automatically when the projector comes on. Currently, the screen comes down to far and I have to take the remote and move it up to where I want it. Is there a way to adjust the screen to...

I have an Onkyo S-5500 connected to an Epson 8350. Currently, I have hdmi out from the Onkyo to the Epson. I now want to connect a Wii. Since the Wii doesn't use HDMI, I plugged the RCA cables into the back of the Onkyo. Can that also utilize the HDMI out? I've read here that version of the...

I'm impressed with the Mediabridge cables I bought but looks like they only go to 50'.

I picked up the Atdec: http://www.amazon.com/Atdec-TH-WH-PJ-FM-Telehook-Universal-Projector/dp/B000BSFY48/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y 8350 arrived today so hopefully the projector+mount will go together nicely!

If you have some time to wait, it might be worth it to watch Amazon on the price of the 5500. I noticed one weekend they dropped it down to $299. I actually didn't buy and when I saw the price go back to $389 emailed amazon and they let me get it at the $299 price. Great deal and it just...

I need to mount my Epson 8350 and have seen a few different mounts on Amazon. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good mount to use for an 8350? Thanks!

I decided to order the Onkyo today so went to Amazon and now it's $380...guess it was only $299 for a day! I guess I need to act quicker next time.

Amazon now has the Onkyo S5500 for $299, I'm not convinced I need 7.1 but the price is right. Is it worth it or is there a better system to get my started? Thanks!

Thanks Sam. Got all the info I needed.

Can someone tell me on which side of the Elite Electric 100H is the cord? I want to make sure I have an outlet placed properly. Also, can someone tell me exactly how wide the unit is? Not the viewing area but the actual casing I'll need to hang. I've seen a few different dimensions online...

Sam, Thanks for all the great info. Yes, the projector will be above the 83" mark as it will be mounted to the ceiling in the back of the room. The only reason I mention the window is I'll have to mount the screen across the window. The screen will be right in front of the window going...

Sam, I do have space if I start from the floor. My only concern is I am then mounting the projector across the window. That might not matter. I will most likely build some sort of cornace to hide it. Would 2.40 be in screen size? I've just seen the screens as 16:9, 4:3 or 16:10...

We will have one couch parrallel to the movie that will sit roughly 15' from the screen. Another will be perpendicular to the screen running along a side wall. Jim, what is the proper height? Since the flat part of my ceiling is only 51", if I wanted to mount it flush with the ceiling, I'd...

Hello, Attached, please see my room in progress and the only spot I have to hang the screen. I was really hoping for at least a 100" screen but am not sure I have the space given the dimensions of the Elite 100" 16:9 I was looking at. I would love to hear others thoughts on the best size to...

I haven't yet mounted the projector so can easily move it. I was just trying to find the perfect spot for it. Chances are we will have a 100" screen so we are trying to find the best distance to hang the projector. I've seen a few different calculators so far. The ones I saw, put the...

Hello, Our electrician just left and I noticed that one of the recessed lights sits roughly six inches directly in front of what I had planned to hang the projector (epson 8350). Will that cause any issues if we use the projector when the lights are on? Thanks, Eddie

Just curious, why do you guys recommend a manual screen over electric? Amazon does have both Favi and Elite electric screens under $300.

Thanks for all the info everyone. Colin, the window faces south so I'll definitely figure out a good way to block the light. Thanks also for the thoughts on the Onkyo as I've read good things about it. Type A, thanks for the info on the screen, I'll look it up! Thanks.

Colin, We can't really do much about the layout as since we are finishing off an attic space, the ceiling is slopped so we only have two walls to work from and one of the two walls left is near the stairs so has a half wall in front leaving only the wall with the one window. I don't have any...

We are having an electrician come out this week and wire the room we are finishing off for the theatre. He will be putting a receptacle in the ceiling for the projector. Based on the sloped ceilings, I think I'll only be able to have a 100" screen with an epson 8350, how far back should the...

I'll be hanging the projector in the center of the room approximately 17 feet from the screen. I can move it closer and have roughly 2 more feet further back I can go if needed. For the projector, I was thinking the espon 8350 would work well. We do have a blue ray player as I had just...
