Hello, I am new to the board and am looking for some direction.
I am trying to set up a theater room in my basement. The room is 20’ x 21’ with 9’ ceilings. Viewing is going to be in the 21’ direction. I want to use overhead projector and I want the equipment to be behind the viewers.
Components are the DH cable box, Sony Blue ray 550, Onkyo TXDS 747(this probably need replaced since it does not have HDMI, or ?), project has not been selected as yet but I am leaning towards the Epson 1080P.
Questions/concerns.
1.I want to plug in PS2/PS3 and X-box into the front of the room. Therefore I need HDMI and 5 RCA in a wall plate. – Do I take these all the way back to the components or to the projector? I would think if I go to the projector I will not have sound.
2.Then do I only need a HDMI from the components to the projector?
3.Do I need a switch for the HDMIs and what will this accomplish.
4.How are these things hooked up so the sound comes through the surround sound for everything?
5.These cables will be enclosed in the ceiling any suggestions on type? From front wall plate to components will be 45 ft and from projector to components will be 25 ft. These lengths will give me room to connect and extra.
6.Is there a way to aim the remote forward and the signal get to the components – some type of eye that I can run wire for now. What type of wire, just cat5?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to do this correctly the first time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
