    IB systems...

    I've gotta admit... As I was looking into my next ridiculous expenditure of cash. I started thinking about adding a folded horn setup and somehow fitting it into my living room(more for party music, theater is sorted...so far)... But I have heard your back alley talks about the cult of the IB...

    TV for Static Photography display

    For the screen blanking I wonder about cutting the HDMI cable Vcc line and adding a relay to switch it on and off. Might work?

    TV for Static Photography display

    Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble picking a way to do this safely. obviously OLED is out. But looking for a 60 to 65 inch TV for displaying my photographs. From what I've gathered I'm avoiding OLED like the plague, IPS panels might be a bit risky, VA panels look like the most...

    Would you mount the speakers into the wall?

    I could possibly build a little speaker shelf on both back corners(one behind the couch, and the other just behind the kneewall door)... Yes overhead is no going to work too well virtually no clearance and the vega speakers are a big bigger than expected... Built onto a shelf it shouldn't...

    Would you mount the speakers into the wall?

    Its from a theta S 360 orb camera... You should be able to zoo in on it to get rid of the fish eye thing I figured i'd try something different since the room is smaller and hard to get a picture of.... I'll try pull some stills I am thinking in to the wall as high as i can laying on their...

    Would you mount the speakers into the wall?

    I am trying to place two rear speakers into a relatively small room the traditional high and behind will not work... would you mount them into the wall slightly behind the couch? ORB picture of room: https://theta360.com/s/41G2587TmprtYZgnXbp0BXops

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    I have the projector mounted. Looks like we are sitting about 7 ft from the screen. I am trying to pick my screen out. A guy north of me is selling a planar xscreen for 500 or amazon has the silver ticket screens for 200. I'm leaning towards the white screen. I think we are aiming for 80”...

    Would you consider a used planar xscreen?

    Have a guy selling an x screen 80 inch near me. I was going to build a DIY painted screen as an alternative. Is it worth going to check this thing out? What price would you pitch the guy? It's an 80"

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    Got my projector here. I will say that initial impressions are a bit off flavored. the packaging Styrofoam was destroyed which is a shame since i keep that stuff for moving the projector in thr future. But second the bulb has 11hrs on it, she had told me all three units they had were under...

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    Ok, so this is the Half baked 2.0 you speak of. How does one know if its a fully compliant 2.0? Look for a 9 channel AVR?

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    I was glancing at the TX-NR636 It does share the namesake of one of my favorite street bikes.... BUT in addition it rocks Atmos (only two height channels though). AND a second subwoofer out for my ButtKicker! I have a splitter in the LFE line currently. Adding the two speakers...

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    If Atmos was designed to really run with 4 top speakers why are alot of the recievers only pushing 5.1.2? shouldn't they aim for 5.1.4 at least?

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    Ah crap, sounds like i'm running my audio incorrectly as well? Yeah single digital coax, And to top it off I needed an optical audio to coaxial audio converter because I didn't have a cable long enough to reach the amps in the front of the room. Luckily in the new location all the...

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    I've never used the HDMI yet for sound either. I went co axle and optical when I could. I was really pissed that they were pushing HDMI on as as what I saw to be a move for copy protection. And I had a really nice 50' video component cable :( The sony does have component inputs... Maby...

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    I need the new receiver because my Old Onkyo TX SR 605 is apparently no longer compliant with any new equipment. So without this new AVR i'm going to try jerry rigging it and bypass the old AVR's HDMI handling. Jerry rigging leads to a rats nest of wires and poor system performance... Gives...

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    Atmos is not as much a benefit to us the end user as it is to the sound engineer making the track. It allows one 3d "globe" soundtrack be decoded by individual setups(theaters, Home theaters, sound bars, cellphones ) thus eliminating the sound engineer from having to break it into 5.1, 7.1...

    Any issues with HDMI 1.3 Reciever on modern equipment?

    I have an Onkyo Tx- SR605 that has been working great for me. but I just bought a new PJ and will probably be getting a Roku box. I have been running Component wires but may need to switch to HDMI as the new Roku and a New 3d BluRay player(not purchased yet) will probably want HDMI. I have...

    What Type Of Projector/Screen Should I Get?

    I personally advocate not buying a screen until you know how big you want to watch... A quick black painters tap border on a white wall for a few weeks and playing with the zoom is cheap insurance against not being happy with your new $700 -$3000 screen and having to ship it back., I usually...

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    Lol I actually had to Ask Projector People to SLOW DOWN the shipping. I got my confirmation call that it was going to be delivered today last night. I don't get to Pittsburgh to grab the package until this weekend. I think this is the first time I had to ask for slower shipping service. Lol

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    Ordered from Projector People.com Customer Support was awesome and I got a "demo" unit with 3 hrs on the bulb for $1800 full warranty intact. Free shipping. And no sales tax! Best buy didn't have any in stock, and I decided I really didn't owe the other guy anything. The way the...

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    I have been thinking about purchase options. It seemes the price is the same no matter who I buy it through. Would I be better served to buy it through Projector People, Best Buy, Or the Home theater guy? Projector People have always been awesome, answered many questions of mine over the...

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    Unfortunately the house does not close until June 10th. Se we are working off walk through measurements and CAD drawings. The contractor will not see the room for the first time in person until mid June. Main reason for pushing the decision now is I'm pretty sure i'm happy with the Sony but...

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    CIH theaters when done properly are fantastic! the added BOOM factor when the curtains open wider and the screen zooms out is what originally drew me to the AE series as well. But with the current "broom closet" or a room i'm working with, the 2.40 screen was just going to take up too much...

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    I was actually able to edit it myself, though that ability seems to have gone away... Possibly a time thing? The room layout is a bit cramped I will admit, but I think it is all going to fit... I have a nice closet for the equipment and if it wasn't for the sloped ceiling I wouldn't be...

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    Thanks for all the help. I will go with the Sony HW40ES. As to the rest of the information, it's all good stuff. As I will be doing a new build I was going to start a new thread anyway, Another slight modification to the title and this can turn into my build thread fairly easily...

    I sorted through the acronyms it appears the Sony is a form of LCoS. So I guess that's a good thing.

    getting pushed off of the AE-8000U for the Sony HW40ES?

    So for the extra $500 would you still recommend the Sony over the Panny? I would love a nice JVC But $2000 Is really pushing the budget. Theoretically trying to over spend on the PJ and build my room on the dime.
