aha. well seeing as i am investigating the possibilty of a 50" Plasma, I guess I should do some research into projectors as well.
 
Milo i just ordered it today man, i will let you know how it goes.

I have looked at alot of lcd's and plasma's i am receiving the projector tomorrow and will let you know once i'm hooked up.

I think for 5k if this does work i will have 72"s of awesomeness for 1/3 of the price :) of a 50" plasma

I need help cannot see where to put my dstv connection :p

Also if i want to use my divx does the sound need to go through the divx or what?

Use the composite or S-Video for your DSTV decoder...that's if you don't have a HD decoder in which case you'll obviously use the HDMI connector.

Not sure about the divx question, but the sound from all appliances has to go to the radio/amp/speakers.
 
Ok got the dstv worked out, i need a yellow cable from the back of decoder into the projector, then i plug my L and R speakers into the dstv decoder for sound.

My divx player has s-video as well so i am assuming i use that as well to plug into my decoder but i cannot figure out to get sound from divx as it only has optical.
 
Hehe milo need to get cables and what not for it but i can tell you the screen is huge like 2m length not sure height yet.

If your speakers have a built in amp then yes, you can plug them directly into the decoder - otherwise they have to go through a amp.

You probaly mean you have to plug S-Video into the PJ and not the decoder.

Give me a link to (or name of) your divx player and I'll be able to give an opinion.
No player would only have optical out for sound. (afaik)

How much are amps?

I'm sure your 5.1 system will have an amp so there's no worry I think ;)

On your divx player you want to use component for best image results.
Wire A would go into your projector's VGA to RGB adapter and then into the projector's VGA port.
Wire B - the red and white plug, goes into your sound system for stereo sound.
If you want 5.1 you'll have to fork out quite a bit more to use the optical cable on a didgital system :)
