I previously owned a Epson Cinema 550 which allowed you to adjust the keystone. After 3.5 years it quit on me with the message "Epson Cinema error" and the estimate to fix it made me decide to buy a new one and get a long extended warranty this time. So I bought the HC6100 and as far as the picture quality goes it is exceptionally good but the picture is out of square. This is really annoying when a picture isn't completely filling up the screen because it is easy to see the picture isn't square or when using the test pattern and it is not caused my screen either. Because the 6100 doesn't have a manual adjustment for this problem there appears to be no other solution other then return it. My concern is that after I go to all the trouble of swapping it out for another one I may find out this is not all that uncommon with the 6100. Needless to say the oversight or intentionally leaving off a Keystone Adjustment was stupid on Epson's part because a little tweaking would have fixed this problem. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or most likely won't repeat itself if I swap it out.

My electronic components are in route to our home right now, but I am trying to solve a connection issue. In addition to our HT, we have a 1080p 61" TV in our living room. I'd like to have the option of watching BlueRay DVD and the Cable/DVR on either the TV in the living room or the HT downstairs, w/o having both limited to watching the same thing at the same time. I have seen a few HDMI splitters, but it looks to me that you can choose which of the 2 or 4 inputs you want, but you cannot have one output connected to one input while the other output is connected to a different input. My TV does have 2 HDMI inputs and my receiver (Harman-Kardon 254) has 4 HDMI inputs. The cable/DVR has 1 HDMI output as does the BlueRay DVD player. I have also run and HDMI cable to our Master Bedroom, so I may want an option of connecting the TV in there at some time, too. I suppose I could connect the composite video from the cable/DVR to the receiver as the HK is supposed to upgrade the video, but is it really the same? Your help/suggestions are appreciated.
