Could someone explain how this device might be used in conjunction with a BenQ projector and a Sonos wireless speaker setup?

Hmm, that's kind of a complicated setup. Basically the dvdoair would act as a bridge between your source (unnamed) and output (projector for video/sonos for sound). Am I imagining the setup correctly? The projector part should be easy, since I imagine it uses hdmi as the dvdoair does. The sound might be considerably more complicated though. Dvdoair won't natively split you audio and video streams, so if you want to fork video to the projector via dvdoair, in order to fork the audio elsewhere, you might need a separate receiver or converter of some kind. Basically the difficulty would stem from splitting audio and video to different endpoints, since dvdoair is built for a simple, all-in-one solution for both streams concurrently... More info on the proposed setup would yield a more conclusive answer.

I purchased this device so that I could connect multiple optical devices to my surroundsound system that only had one port available. I connected my Blu-ray player and my Apple TV to the Nyrius SW100 and haven't had any complaints. The Blue Ray and Apple TV are inputs and the output is to the surround sound system.

There is a small HDMI component that attaches to your sound system that transmits the cable signal (also attached to the sound system) directly to the BenQ W1500. The only thing the BenQ 1500 needs is a power source. My projector is attached to the ceiling on the other side of the room.

There is no evidence this unit supports anything like that. Sonos is the only one I know of that allows that.

If your stereo has a stereo auxiliary input you can connect it. Sonos has standard RCA output jack

Hi! This, from a year's worth of experience is a simple projector..HDMI, USB (via external drives and a 4gb internal storage, VGA...essentially a means to output non-rf signals. The original WIFI dongle didn't fly (Vivitek USA didn't even try to make it fly), no Bluetooth. I've used the Google Chromecast to allow me to throw the output of my Android device to the Qumi Q5 (BTW..probably the best of it's ilk). So, no, MHL, AFAIK, but Chromecast via the HDMI input. Hope that helps.

Hi Mark, I have tried to connect the transmitter to the audio output from my flatscreen and sending the Sound to wireless speakers. The setup was easy, but i felt the audio was slightly out of sync with the movements on the screen. I dont know quite what to say. It was not convincing!

I did not have much luck with this device, I ended up going with a wifi solution for our projectors. Best of luck

I have a benq w1080p (same but short throw version) as long as you have your 3D content (I use my laptop but a 3D blu ray player would also work) connected with an HDMI cable it will work. The projector sends the signal to the glasses based on what is coming in through the HDMI cable.

Sonos has a new(ish) product called Playbar that is specifically for the tv. It will play your tv feed through the playbar. I'm not positive, but I think you can then broadcast the ESPN feed to any other zones you have on your system. If you already have a receiver for a zone, you can hook up a Sonos Connect to that receiver and power the zone that way. If you want use Sonos amps then you get the Sonos: Connect Amp. I've found the Sonos Bridge makes the setup super simple and everything just works well. The Bridge is the only thing hard wired into my router, every other component is connected wirelessly through wifi. Hope this helps...

I have connected my BenQ to my ipad with HDMI connector. I streamed Netflix, Amazon over wifi on the ipad to watch on the projector.

All you need to have a Receiver to connect External speaker. I connected my Epson To Denon DHT- 391XP 5.1 channel home theater ststem. I am hanging the projector from ceiling. I also connected Samsung blue ray player to watch DVD and Blueray. Recently I added new WD player to receiver my so that now I am watching all formats of contents. Hope this helps. Happy watching and Happy holidays. Merry christmas.

once you have the basic connect as input video ( yellow cable) and audio ( red and white) for audio on the projector that should work fine for you , unless the projector need some unique setting/features

To use the receiver you need a playback device of some kind - it has no speakers.They do have a unit with speakers, but at a higher price ...Phorus PS1 Speaker with Multi-Room Wireless Audio StreamingBut based on my personal experience, I would recommend spending more and looking at the Sonos system(s)

While a receiver gives you more flexibility, in terms of being able to connect additional wired speakers and components, you will be fine with what you propose, assuming that the TV has multiple inputs. In my case, I run a Tivo via one HDMI cable and a DVD player via another through my TV. The Playbar serves as the external speakers connected directly to the television via an optical cable (and since it contains its own amplifier, I am not limited by the output from my television). You need the Sonos connect to set up the wireless system to which the Playbar belongs.

If there was any lag in audio to either device, it would be the device itself; the extra 21' on the longer cord wouldn't cause the lag. I use this with a 6' cable to my living room TV and a 50' cable to my projector outside. The audio on the TV was behind the audio on the projector, but my TV has a known issue with audio and video lag -- the problem is my TV. I should also mention without this splitter the projector wouldn't work on such a long run. The splitter is powered so that strengthens the signal so that the 50' cable would work. Hope this helps!

That should work, place it half way or so to the place you don't get signal and add it like another sonos component.
