New to home cinema but not HiFi, I have a decent set up, but would like to keep the cinema side separate, are all AV receivers capable of taking AV from Sat/ cable/DVD boxes/players and putting them through a projector, I know that they have to have enough inputs/outputs all HDMI, so how do I get the internet through the projector? We watch and listen to a lot of the groups and bands from the 60/70/80s at the moment we watch via "Youtube" on our smart Samsung Tv audio through the HiFi system, we would like to watch them on the big screen, with the sound through the normal surround system. There is a lot of choice out there so perhaps a budget of £600 for the receiver, the speakers will be 5/1 Q Acoustic system. Thanks for any advice.
Perhaps a silly question but!

Thankyou very much, I was on another AV forum which closed last year, so joined another large Uk one, I posed this same question and got a stupid reply, so thankyou very much, I will stay here but Iam afraid my technical input will limited, I do have an Xbox one so will try and sort it out.
if not will get a smart Blu ray player.
if not will get a smart Blu ray player.Not sure if I can, it was supported by a magazine, I think its closed as I cant find it anywhere, anyhow Iam happy here now. Lucid my Blu-ray is basic "LG BP250" and will not support anything apart from Dvds, the fire stick looks to be the way to go, it say's plug into HDMI on Tv, I assume I can plug it into the new AV receiver instead, when we get one, new house to get built first

NosThanks again, regarding the speakers, I have a Rega Biro amp, Q Acoustic Concept 40s, Marantz Cd player, all linked with QED79, said I was old school
, QA do a surround system using my speakers along with some rears and a sub, also possibility for pair of ceiling ones as well, they said that I could use my 40s through my amp or by fitting a by-pass switch as part of a surround system, you may know of a better way 
thereby saving the biggest expensive ie fronts, and only one set doing both jobs, its all in one side of the lounge, with a 2mt deep alcove for the Tv and screen, we can get back upto 7mts from the screen, the lounge is 52m2. Will look into the Roku stick.

Will look into the Roku stick.Thanks for your replies, I dont know much about Atmos but they would be fitted in the main room, I did think that having a physical switch was a bit old fashioned, whats the alternative? please feel free to recommend other makes of speakers, as said would prefer to keep the QAs as main for both mediums.
Thank again for your time and easy to understand replies, its a new house so, the TV and screen will be in a 1.75mt deep x 3.6mt alcove so lots of space, no neighbours, we drive the Rega and QAs to their max occasionally, my DW of forty years is as passionate about AV as me, we both have a musical background. The surround speakers at the rear would have been wall mounted, but as its a new house, planning all the wiring is easier at this stage, hence my post, apart from the wiring going in we cant do much now until we move in sometime in November, but Iam sure you all aware its a pain in the butt to retro fit a lot of new sound gear.
Thanks once again, I think I understand it, I will re-read a few more times, I hadn't realized that I will be using the Rega when in film mode, so I need the BK sub a few good quality HDMI leads and a pair of rears or ceiling Speakers, and one of the AV receivers, Speaker wire is a very emotional subject with AV techies, so will stick to my trusted QED 79, Thanks.
