Question

Need advice so I can play a movie through projector and 5.1

Aug 2, 2017 10:40AM PDT

Hi, I’m new to this forum so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area. I added pictures to this post so you can see what I am talking about.

I purchased a theatre in a box system. All the speakers jacks are located in the back of the subwoofer. http://mattguise.com/images/IMG_1789.JPG

I also have a projector, I took a picture of it’s plug ins as well so you can see it. http://mattguise.com/images/IMG_1792.JPG

I also need to purchase a blu ray/dvd player so we can watch movies on the projector.

I am not quite sure how to wire this all together. I’m looking for advice so I can play a movie through the projector and listen to my 5.1 surround sound. What kind of wires/adapters do I need and what ports/jacks would I need on the blu ray/dvd player I purchase? And, any suggestions as to how to wire that up would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Clarification Request
why no make/model numbers?

I can help, but to be honest, it's silly to upload photos w/o also including any make/model numbers(!)

Provide that info and we can assist.

Please provide a link to the user manuals and please tell also where to find the specs of the input (for the BR/DVD player) and the output (for the projector) of the theater in a box and of the input (from the theater) of the projector in those 2 documents.
