With specific regard to my system's ability to output Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus:
The AVM-50 has 4 HDMI inputs that accept up to 5.1 multi-channel PCM
The Sony BDP-S1 is currently running firmware Ver. 3.6. Many months ago (I believe Ver. 2.0) a firmware update enabled the Blu-ray...
Ok....transformation from 61" DLP to projection system is complete.
Changes since last update:
- Placed components in new component stand (BDI Avion 8529)

Updated photos...
Yes, there are 3 settings:
1) Choose any of the 7 colors
2) Rotate between all 7 colors (no fade)
3) Gradually fade though all of the colors

Update: I've now made the following changes to my system:
1) Replaced Cinema with Stage
2) Replaced 61" DLP with a Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p projector coupled with a Carada Criterion 100" 16:9 BW screen (1.4 gain)
3) Moved main speakers closer together
4) Painted wall
