Using a pre-HDCP receiver (1 Viewer)

[Milt Barber]

I have an Onkyo HT-R940 (7.1, THX) that I have been using for years. I love the sound from this system, and I have the accompanying speakers built-in. Unfortunately, my projector died and I bought a new Edson without thinking about the fact that the receiver is pre-HDCP (in fact, it does’t even have HDMI in.)

Is there anything reasonable I can do to get this system to work?

Since the receiver doesn't have hdmi inputs, that means HDCP doesn't even factor into it. If you have a source component with hdmi, you just run that directly to the projector and whatever audio output to the receiver. You can't get HD audio, unless your player has 7.1 analog outputs, otherwise you are limited to low res formats like DD and DTS. I'm being brief with my explanation, but you probably should look into updating your receiver. If you source component(s) don't have hdmi, then you're seriously sacrificing the picture your projector can produce.
