Hello,
I am installing an Epson 8100 HT Projector from the ceiling hooked to a Samsung blu ray player. When I purchased this unit from Best Buy the Geek Squad informed me I could use up to 100ft HDMI cable with no problems. I have purchased 2 different 20 meter HDMI 1.3 cables from 2 different manufacturers. One cable gives me HDMI not supported on the projection screen. The other cable gives me a picture or the menu screen very briefly, then dissappears, this happens continuously. With a 6ft. HDMI cable the projector works fine.
I called Epson and there tech support told me it "should" work but cannot gaurantee anything beyond 6ft of cable.
Is there anything I can do here? Different model projector, cable??
Thank you for your time!!
