QuestionCan I get this projector in black? Also, do you need 4K receiver to run 4K projector?
Asked 5 years ago by Pope.
- Answer While the projector can upscale any resolution to 4K, this is not true 4k. If you want a true 4K picture you must feed it a 4K signal. Sources that are 4K can connect directly to the projector or go through a processor or receiver. if you go through the processor/receiver it must either process or pass-through the 4K signal in order to get true 4K on the screen.

QuestionI am replacing my Epson 6100 with either the 3800 or the 4010. Will my old ceiling mount still work? Will the old HDMI cable still work?
Asked 5 years ago by David.
- Answer If you want to send 4K video to the projector, you would do well to have a HDMI 2 .0 cable. As for the mount, the mounting holes on the 3800 are different from many other Epson projectors, so your answer depends on what kind of mount system you have.

QuestionI plan to replace my LCD Projector HC 5500 Mitsubishi - with a new Epson 3800 4K 3LCD Projector. My Question ??? Do I have to replace my Denon Receiver AVR - 1912 as well ??? Greatly appreciate your thoughts, Speedy
Asked 5 years ago by Speedy.
- Answer Your receiver does not need upgrading because of the projector. The picture is beautiful regardless. If you want 4K, Atmos and Dolby Vision, then you have to update a lot more than just the receiver. So much has changed in the last decade regarding sound, HDMI switching, and processing that you might want to refresh everything.

QuestionIf I upgrade my home theater projector to a Epson 3800, do I need to upgrade my Denon AVR-1912 Receiver as well ???
Asked 5 years ago by Speedy.
- Answer From the video perspective, the Epson supports the latest 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 spec while your Denon does not. If you want to run Netflix HDR/Ultra HD player/latest XBOX/PS5 content through your Denon, it will be down-converted to SDR. If you don't plan on doing any of that (which I would assume you are else you wouldn't be looking at this projector), then your Denon HDMI is fine to run video through it. If you will be, then running video through your Denon means you'll be losing a bit of the projector's "pop". Alternative is to keep your Denon for audio only and run your video through an external 2-/3-/4-in, 2-out HDMI 2.0 video splitter that allows you to run sound from it to your Denon while video goes from it to your projector. No video down-conversion would happen. From an audio perspective, your Denon does not support Dolby Atmos or Dolby Vision (latest two sound standards) which again, if you plan to go latest XBOX/PS5/Ultra HD player content, you would not be able to leverage the "latest and great sound" through your Denon.

QuestionWhat cable do I need to connect audio out to a Yamaha receiver? I already have a digital audio cable but looks like that won't work for this model projector.
Asked 5 years ago by Alexi.
- Answer Hi, I too also have a Yamaha receiver and same projector, it's a simple fix. You'll need to purchase a 3.5 mm AUX to 2RCA Y splitter stereo audio cable. Mines so happens to be 25 ft, since my projector is ceiling mounted, the cable is run through the ceiling into my media closet. Plug the 3.5mm AUX into the audio output of your projector and the 2RCA into your Yamaha AV receiver port, should work great!!!

QuestionI can’t seem to get my 3800 to pair with a Samsung Q700 sound bar via Bluetooth. When I search for the sound bar it recognizes it but the pairing fails.
Asked 4 years ago by Kal74.
- Answer Hi Kal74, Here are a couple of things to check. Make sure your Bluetooth audio device that is paired to the projector supports copyright protection (SCMS-T) and A2DP. Make sure the Bluetooth audio device is paired only to the projector and not to another device. Visit the Epson support site for the Home Cinema 3800 for FAQs, videos and user's guides that may help.

QuestionHow far are the mounting holes diagonally? I wonder if I can use a projector mount like VIO VP02W.
Asked 5 years ago by Typo.
- Answer Hi Typo, The Home Cinema 3800 has four mounting holes. All should be used for mounting. Side to side the mount holes are 11.8 inches (300 mm), from front to back the distance is 6.3 inches (160 mm). Any mount should be capable of supporting at least 15.2 lbs (6.9 kg).
