Thanks! It’s gone from the least used room in the house to one of the most used. In fact, I’m watching x-files on the big screen as I type. The budget is indeed small. Seems as soon as I save up some more money it needs to be spent on something else, lol. The speakers and amps I’ve...

Awesome, thanks so much!!

My current system includes a samsun BD C6500 bluray, which decodes to 7.1 analog jacks among other audio output options. I’m using the bluray to decode the audio, and then go to 4 separate amps (front R/L, front C, rear R/L, powered sub), and I’m not using the full 7.1, just 5.1. This works...

I’ve come quite a ways since that first Halloween party, but there’s still a lot more to be done for sure. Anyways, I wanted to put up some new pics of the setup. Went with the Epson ex7200, and I’m very happy with it. Yes, I’m still using a sheet, but a real screen is the next thing on the...

Well, we plan on using it outside maybe 3-4 times a year. Sad to hear it will be a pain, BUT it seems I don't really have much choice in the matter, so we'll deal. The ceiling is about 7ft. I know I'm putting the cart before the horse, since I still don't have seating, or a projector, or a...

My wife has already made it perfectly clear that the very first thing we watch on our first projector will be her favorite movie ever – our wedding video! I can’t say it’s a bad flick to break in the home theater . After that, we’ll snuggle up with some T-day seconds and watch another of our...

Thanks for the info! Since I want a ceiling mount eventually anyways, I may as well just move that up the list and not have to change my budget or buy used. They don't seem that expensive. I'm not looking for super-awesome quality for my outside shows, anyways, so not having lens shift for...

I wasn't aware of that! Looks like the optoma hd66 doesn't have it either. Am I going to have to significantly up my projector budget to get one with lens shift and the other requirements I was looking for?

And so it begins! We took the plunge and started painting. No going back now [/url]

Just the pair to start, cuz that's what I've got for free, and free fits the budget nicely!

Well, goal number 1 is have a functional theater, so I’ll probably put up a shelf for now, but I’d like to ceiling mount the projector eventually so I can fine-tune the distance to have the picture fill the screen size exactly. With the shelf at the back of the room, I think the projected image...

I did forget a mount/shelf! I’m sure I can make a shelf on the cheap, but it doesn’t give me much room for placement vs a ceiling mount. Cables, let’s see… I’ve got cables from dvd to amp for sound, amp to speakers, dvd to projector for picture. So I don’t think I’ll need any new ones right...

Hey everyone! I’m brand new here, just thought I’d introduce myself, I’m Tony from NC. I’ve been looking for a place to share my progress as I jump into the Home Theater adventure. I’ve known I wanted to design a home theater someday for a while now, but that someday never seemed to be...
