Afraid I'm a complete noob when it comes to Projectors et al, so apologies if I'm missing something really simple, but I have a Hitachi PJ-TX100 projector, a Denon DHT-500SD DVD/Home Cinema system and a standard sky box and I'm struggling to connect them together. What I basically want (if possible) is the following:
Sky connects directly to Projector, Sky audio outputs to Denon, so I can watch sky via the projector but with sound via the Denon's speakers. DVD connects directly to the projector via component cables (they're both progressive scan so I think I need component). The Denon manual recommended connecting directly rather than via a video machine, so I assume it's best not to try and connect via the Sky box either?
I've tried using the composite connectors (with scart adaptor) to connect the video out on the sky to the Hitachi, plus the Sky's audio out to the Denon, but not a peep comes out of the speakers. I've also tried connecting the Sky box to the Denon and then the Denon to the projector and I can get sound but no picture, so I'm clearly doing something completely wrong!!!
I'm also using the component video connectors on the Denon to connect to the Projector and that bit works fine for watching DVDs, but how do I get the TV to work via the projector??? If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it... Connectors are as follows:
Sky- 2 Scart (one in, one out I assume?) and 2 L/R audio outs
Projector- DVI, Component, Composite, S-Video
Denon- Scart out, Svideo, Component out, 2 composite in, 1 composite out, 1 video out
I think that's about right- please help if you can!
