Here's the problem...I have a Sharp XG-v10wu projector I found cheap. I'm trying to hook it up to my new RCA surround sound/dvd/blue ray player. It only has an hdmi out. So, the projector senses the incoming signal (although 720 is the highest it finds) but wont display the image...what am I missing? I can't imagine a $20k projector being this hard to hook up!
 
Solution
As shown on Pg E-17, it shows the "Video Cable" (single RCA eg yellow composite) OR "Component Cables". You would connect the RCA video cable to the first (left most) BNC connector.

Are you trying this with a standard DVD or with a Blu-Ray disc? If the projector is not HDCP compliant (and given it's age, it may not be), a Blu-Ray disc may not display an image.

Also, what model RCA home theater system did you purchase?
