Denon AV Receiver draining HDMI signal - options?

Hi,

I have the Denon 1312 AV receiver, and the epson 8350 projector (1080)

I bought a 50' hdmi cable that supports 1.4a/3d/etc... >LINK<<br />
When I hook the 50' cable directly from my computer to the pj, I can do 1080@60Hz perfect. If I hook the 50' cable to the receiver, and then use a short 3' cable to link to the pj, I can only get up to 720@60 or 1080@24.

I talked to Denon support and they said the receiver was draining just enough of the signal to cause the problems. Sure enough, when I moved my computer into the theatre room, using a 6' cable to the receiver, I was able to do 1080@60.

He said my options were to use a balun to extend the signal, but I cannot find 1080/60 baluns for a reasonable price. Or, he said I could try finding better cables that might be able to carry a stronger signal to the receiver.

Any questions or ideas that I can try?

The shop in town has a yamaha receiver for 50$ more; something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-RX-V467.../dp/B003CP0K8W

DO you think a different receiver may help solve this problem?

Or is there a cheap hdmi signal booster trick or product that I can try?

Thanks!!

I have solved the problem and without paying any extra money!

I swapped out my receiver, from a denon 1312 to a yamaha rx-v467. I got it for the same price, and now I can run 50ft to the receiver, then 35ft to the PJ and at full 1080@60Hz. Hope this helps!
