Home Theater Set Up

I have a Sony RCD-W2000ES and Lexicon RV 8 with Monitor Audio S8s. Your thoughts on DAC via Sony or Lexicon which would be the best. Thanks in advance.

Set up is a Yamaha 863 with B&W speakers, front 683, center HTM61, surround 686 and 610XP sub
My speakers are all set to small, as i have read this is the best. i have set cross over frequenzy at 60hz. Adding the surround speakers last week to complete the set up,  i ran an auto set up and the auto set up puts all speakers to large with LFE sent to sub only?
 
Wonder if this is correct? I have now manually put all speakers to small, but i wonder what should be the LFE setting, to subwoofer only, or to both?
 

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section or covered already - I couldn't find a direct answer to my specific answers so hopefully you can help out! :) 
So, my 3D Blu Ray player arrived the other day, and I'm trying to get it hooked up to take advantage of the 3D (obviously), but as well as the TrueHD/DTS-MA soundtracks of normal BluRay.

 I have just discovered after many a day head scratching that my amp, a Sony SDR 1200ES will not process the HDMI signal and break it down into seperate audio and video signals. 
My little Acer Revo HTPC only has HDMI out for digital sound (and headphone socket).
My question is, to buy a new AMP, what magic words in the spec sheet should I be looking for when buy a new one, so that I know it will split the hdmi signal into sound thru the amp, and video to the telly?

Hi,
        OK we can get better bass, more extend treble from better AC cord, IC an SC.
But do we needto run auto EQ once more with new cables installed ? Will the auto EQ
detect the extra bass or tonal change and reduce/increase the bass/mid/treble back  to the point
that all the improvement of new cables gone ?
 
       Thanks

Curious if anyone has custom installed a decent home theater system in an Airstream travel trailer, beyond the factory-installed system?

Please Help:
I have an old std TV on my new kitchen counter with cable connection.
I want to replace it with a new LCD (approx 19-20 " because of height restriction of 16").
There is absolutely NO ROOM for a cable box in the area so believe I need to either:

I've recently picked up an XGA projector that I want to use with my PS3, but am not sure what sort of connection is going to give me the best quality or best resolution.

The projector has got a

- 15-pin VGA
- S-video
- Composite video input

and the PS3 has got, well, the usual connectors (HDMI and the Sony MultiAV I believe they are).

Can anyone help me with what connection is going to look best?
