A:
If everything going in the receiver is HDMI, then yes. If you have Video cables going into the receiver, you will also need a single video RCA to go from receiver to projector.by

Yes, one HDMI cable from your receiver output to your projector is all you need. As long as your receiver has enough HDMI inputs, you're good to go.by

Answers
A:
This projector DOES NOT have any audio inputs or outputs, & it DOES NOT have any built-in speakersWhat it DOES have:
2 HDMI (for video only)
1 composite
1 component
1 PC
1 RS232C
1 Trigger Out (to send a signal to motorized screens to come down when the unit is turned on)
If you want to use a Chrome Cast, you have to put that on your audio receiver (assuming it has a "monitor out:", that output will then need to go to the projector.

Does the Epson 5030ub come with a full factory warranty or is it the warranty from Best Buy?

Answers
A:
The best buy warranty "covers the bulb" but really it does not... Best buy will just send you a cheap generic bulb that may be out of spec (Not as much brightness, Produces more heat and fries the projector's electronics, won't last 5000 hrs, etc) and if it kills the projector, then Epson's warranty is invalid because it requires in-spec bulbs. Mfr warranty is 2yrs full parts and labor, they will overnight you a swap projector or you can send yours in for repair. If you use a Citi card you get another 2yrs from your credit card for free.by

Full factory warranty. Best Buy Geek Squad warranty is a no brainer though. When you are spending $2600 on a projector a few hundred bucks for a hassle free warranty through your local store makes so much sense.by

A:
Epson has a full 2 year warranty through the company itself when you buy a new 5030ub. You can add a best buy warranty if you want to that also will cover the bulb.by

http://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-PowerLite_Home_Cinema_5030UB-projection-calculator-pro.htmThis website was incredibly helpful when planning out my theater room. I have the projector just shy of the minimum distance and it shows up great on my 100" screen. I believe I have mine right around 12 ft

A:
I am using a 100" screen and the projector is between 10 - 13 feet minimum. I am not sure how far back you can go, but I would guess at least 20 feet. I also had to make the picture smaller to fit the screen size, but not by much. The 100" screen is actually bigger than I expected, but fits my space perfectly.8 years, 10 months ago
A:
There is not a single distance but a window determined by the projector throw ratio. I have mine installed 15 feet away from my 100 inch screen and works great. I do not have the ratio of the proyector with me but I recall that the window was big, and therefore offers great flexibility on how far/near can be installed.8 years, 11 months ago

A:
My rebate was through Epson direct. I don't recall seeing any BestBuy rebates on Epson projectors. I think Epson controls pricing floors very strictly and any rebates are done in house. Might check with them.Fwiw my rebate from them included a free replacement bulb and both the check and the bulb arrived in a couple of weeks after I submitted my paperwork. I was shocked it was processed and returned so quickly.

Q:
Is the current Epson mail in rebate offer for a replacement lamp for the 5030UB or 5030UBE valid for a projector purchased at Best Buy?by

Answers
A:
I may update this when I actually receive the lamp in the mail, but I purchased the 5030UB at Best Buy, and still sent in the rebate info for the lamp. I got an email notification that my rebate status is in "shipment." So it shouldn't matter.by

Answers
A:
the 5030UB has several settings including daylight and dynamic.The quality of the colors will really depend on the lighting in your room. Indirect light through a window is prbobaby ok, but if the sunlight is shining directly on the wall you are wanting to watch it....you will probably be disappointed.
The brighter you watch it, the shorter the bulb life.
