Okay, so when I got home for lunch I reconnected the Elite with the 7700 (just the fronts), ran the extension cord over to the Monster Power HTS 5100 and powered everything up, dead quite. Okay, lets plug in the HDMI cable, low and behold, a very faint HISS now, not a BUZZ like before. The hiss is only there when the Elite is set in "tuner" mode, when I switch over to DVD, dead quite. Thanks a million Lee Bailey and the rest of the guys that helped out.

Now, here is my next question, other than running an extension cord across the ceiling and down the wall to get to the HTS 5100, not sure how to get power to the receptacle easily. I will have to completely unload the built-in media cabinet to remove the built-in shelves to get behind the cabinet where all the cables are run. Once that is done, do I (a) tap into the dedicated 120 amp circuit to run power to the projector, which is the same outlet the HTS 5100 is plugged into or should I (b) run basically a long heavy duty extension cord basically the same way (threw the wall) but come threw the wall so I can plug directly into the HTS 5100. Like I said, I know very little about electricity so I'm not sure if option (a)basically does the same thing as option (b).

Now that I think about it, with the projector being like this the whole time, do you guys think it's had a negative effect on picture quality?
