As part of my "home-cinema" setup I got an old Bose sourround set (Acoustimass 15 II) for free.

After setting it up as intended (the satellites connected through the subwoofer which has a built-in crossover and amplifier) and listening to it I came to the conclusion that it sounds absolutely horrible.

I recently bought a new projector - a BenQ X1300i - to watch movies or play games with friends. I already owned a Denon AVR-4306 for audio and thought it would be as simple as plugging the projector into the AVRs HDMI output.

As it turns out: Nope. Well... Sort of.

Everything started on a Saturday evening when a friend of mine told me he got 3 of these red little boxes and asked me if I'll help him to get root on them and that he'd give me one of them for free. As I recently wanted to get an HDMI capture device anyway I couldn't resist the offer.
