It doesn't have an audio in to my knowledge. Only audio out. I would download the instruction manual to be sure, but I would buy a separate receiver. Sony receivers offer the most bank for your buck in my opinion if you are on a tight budget. I currently have the Sony STR-DH820.

Clarification-A. The blu ray is a 3D player.B. Is it better to: (1) Hook the DVD player to the receiver and then the TV to the receiver (i.e., everything running through the receiver), or (2) Hook the DVD player to the TV and then the TV to the receiver, or (3) some other better quality configuration?

Keep in mind that this sound bar connections are input only. Normally a/v receivers have digital input only. Does your receiver have output for speakers? If so, you would not be able to connect this item to your receiver. You can connect this sound bar to your dvd player by using the rca connections or digital and then connect your projector using the hdmi from your dvd.

I believe it to be a defective unit. I bought 3 different units, since Christmas, not all were Onkyo, and all 3 skipped repeatedly thru each song. I bought brand new CD's, and all 3 units same results. I gave up on looking for a CD player, bought myself a USB flash drive, downloaded my music to it, stuck it into my Blu-ray player and now listen to my music thru my Blu-ray player. Also, any unit that plays a dvd, will also play a cd. But cd's are on their way out thanks to modern technology.

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.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

The DVD player is the receiver. Its not a full AV receiver like you may be expecting though...there are only a total of 4 inputs: 1 - Ipod dock 2 - front Aux in 3.5mm jack (for mp3 players or laptop or whatever you want with a headphone plug 3 - 1 analog Aux in (red/white RCA's) (notice: this is stereo only, will not do 5.1 digital surround) could be used for tape deck or older gaming system or something like that, with no surround sound 4 - 1 Optical input (the only digital input that will support true 5.1 surround sound) If you want true 5.1 surround from everything you can, here's how I'd do it: -Cable box &gt; TV using HDMI -PS3 or Blueray &gt; TV using HDMI -HD DVD &gt; TV using HDMI (if you don't have 3 HDMI inputs on your TV, try a digital coax for one of these) -TV &gt; Pany receiver using Optical cable

I'm with the others on this... Doesn't sound like it. I'm surprised the DVD player only has the AV options you speak of.

Yeah, it has a AV output - I tried with a cable I had but couldn't get it to work right with the video and have stereo audio, it seemed to only have mono with video; If you just want to occasionally use this feature this isn't a bad player, if this is something you want to regularly do, I would suggest finding another.

We use this for a portable unit often. It does have hook ups for a dvd player and out put for audio should come right off your dvd player. Like Duanejack said you have to have the RCA cables (the red, yellow and white cables) which do not come with the projector but it should work just fine.

I have a receiver that runs all sound. Use the outs on your tv (not the HDMI which carries sound and video) and run the audio into your receiver and the video to the projector. I use RCA cables that come out of my xbox and a Dvi to VGA that comes out of my laptop. You can use the RCA video out of your DVD player and there should be some kind of audio out on your direct tv box. There are multiple source inputs on the projector which are easy to switch using the source button on the projector receiver. You might need some adaptors.

Mam I haven't yet purchased this item. However, I am seriously considering it. I see from the picture of the rear that there is not audio output. Most folks have some form of cable/satellite or a component connected to their television. The no audio output problem can be remedied by connecting cable/satellite box to audio receiver or component audio to receiver not television. Just feed in the video into television. That is what I intend to do if this television becomes my final choice. Hope this info helps.

Dear Zachary,I just tested this on the projector I have for sale. I hooked plugged in the HDMI cable and I hooked up the audio to Bose speakers through the audio out port. The video was on screen and the sound came out of my speakers. It works great! I still have my speaker available and I hope you consider me as a seller when buying on Amazon! Thanks!- Jake Zerner

I run the cable/dvd player straight into the receiver and my receiver will output to the tv and can use the tv sound system as opposed to the receiver. If I want to use the receiver for better quality sound, I just turn it on...

I have the speaker hooked up to my tv so when I use my dvd player the sound goes through the speaker. I don't know if you can hook the speaker directly to a dvd.

You are correct in that this is not a stand alone component. It would have to hook into some sort of system that has speakers. For instance, I have a Bose Wave unit, and these hooked right into it. Your cost for a sound system depends on the quality you want. If you have separate units (your speakers are separate from your amplifier), then this unit would have to go through your amplifier. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, as I am only marginally tech smart! I can tell you that this Sony unit is excellent for playing and for copying CDs. However, I find it easier to make CDs through my computer these days! You are correct in that this is not a stand alone component. It would have to hook into some sort of system that has speakers.

Can I use 1 port for component Video & audio L & R from my DVD player while using a 2nd port going to my analog stereo system at the same time? (To hear the DVD audio through my stereo speakers while watching a movie)
