HDMI on the projector limits your ability to do Blu-Ray to a
computer.

Look for a A/V receiver that converts everything to component for the
projector, but use the VGA on the projector for the PC.

Route all your audio through the receiver. You could possibly use the
HDMI
out from the PC to the receiver to manage the audio, or use the analog
audio
out from the PC and hook that to the receiver.

Oh, the Yamaha won't work for Blue Ray either, as it's a 5.1 unit, so I'm
looking at something better anyway if I go with Blue Ray. So Blue Ray won't
display through VGA even if the player is internal to the computer? That
does change plans a bit.

I have a Blu-Ray hooked up to a 5.1 receiver with coax audio and it works
fine. It will play DTS in 5.1 and DD 5.1 from standard DVDs. But you said
your current receiver is underpowered for your speakers. And it likely
won't do much for multi-room audio.

Almost all the Blu-Ray players I've seen manufactured recently have only
HDMI outputs. You may be able to find one with a component output - perhaps
an older unit. Any newer ones with component are suppose to limit vid
quality to 480p (or is it 480i?) on the component out anyway for copy
protection reasons.

So, as I said, you'd have to use a computer for Blu-Ray video for the best
display using the projector you mentioned as the projector doesn't have
HDMI.
