TOTAL NEWB Receiver and Blue Ray questions

milkman042

I am building a home theater as we speak.. I am in the process of ordering equipment and need to know one or two things..

I am buying the following..

PIONEER BDP-05FD Blu - Ray player
PIONEER VSX-92TXH receiver
Unsure of sub and surrounds yet maybe Kilpsch.. I liked the sound at Best Buy.
Home Movie Theater Projector 1080p.. Unsure of brand yet.. choice between a couple right now.

My question is how many HDMI cables do I need. Does the Blue ray and Dish Network HD receiver plug into the Pioneer Receiver Via HDMI then one (1) HDMI wire to the projector? I am pre wiring right now while stuff is on the way and need to order HDMI cables..

SO I think I need the following: 2 really short HDMI cables for the blue ray and Dish and one (1) long one to the movie projector?

Thanks from the Newb!

As for the cables, that sounds about right. Look here for high quality cables at reasonable prices - www.monoprice.com because there is no difference in HDMI cables no matter what sales hype tells you.

I would suggest that you go to a dedicated home theater or audio store and audition some other speakers before you make your choice. There is nothing wrong with Klipsch but there are many other exceptional brands as well which could give you more flexibility.

Good luck and enjoy your new theater.

With your present configuration you need 3 HDMI cables and you should consider purchasing them thru WWW.MONOPRICE.com great products and great prices and service.
