Still fine tuning

My house is going through some renovations, so the workers need to have access to the power panel which is located in my media room. The seats have arrived and I have two seats setup. It is pretty nice in there. But there is no point in posting pictures until the construction is done. They have plastic protectors on the carpet so I dont want to move the other seats in there until they are done.

60% Complete

Im about 60% complete with the Home Theater / Media Room. My lovely wife painted the room for me. Yes ! She does the painting. Here are the latest pictures... I still need to run the wires and hang the shades. Which I have in hand. The home theater seats are on back order but I expect them within a week or two. I hope to have them before the end of the month. Here you go.

The first picture is the screen with the front and center speakers.

The next picture is of the DVD rack with my DVD collection (http://stores.ebay.com/useddvds2) that I am trying to sell. There will be a shade covering up the window to keep the light out.

Ahhh... The BenQ W500 Projector. Mounted with one try !

The back wall. No Home Theater Seats yet.... rear surround sound speakers will need to be mounted here also. Need to install a shade there also.

Finally I will place the components (receiver (5.1 or 7.1), DirecTV receiver, DVR, Xbox 360, etc...) in here. Yes there is a 22" TV in there. I need to get rid of it.

So 60% complete. Still alot of work to do....

Projector Screen Assembled

It took about an hour but I finally put it together. I'll probably need a hand to mount the screen. Pretty well thought out engineering to manufacture the parts. It is easily assembled. The key is having a clean flat surface.

All I need to do is screw the four plates to the wall and then lift the screen onto the plates. Sounds easy doesnt it ?? The screen is not heavy just cumbersome. Too wide to lift four feet off the ground while trying get the four plates into the small grove on the screen frame. This will probably another hour of work.

Outstanding parts

Screen just arrived as I was posting this post. UPS guys is telling me that that his "filfthy" rich aunt just passed away but left everything to the Smithsonian....

So still yet to arrive:
Speaker wire, 250 Ft of it.
50ft HDMI cable.

I should be able to mount the screen and projector now. Should be lots of fun.

No takers for the Marantz receiver, oh well, I will probably sell it at a yard sale. Im looking at ONKYO TX-SR605 - 7.1 receiver. There are some good deals on ebay right now for that particular model.

Waiting for parts

Projecting on the wall is pretty good. With the shades and curtain drawn, the picture is quite bright for the projector. I am happy with it so far.


The wall is bare without the screen. A 45" x 80" screen will be on this wall eventually. To have a 92" diagnal screen.



The Projector has arrived along with the mount, but there is no screen.
