Hi guys, I need some HDMI cable recommendations for an in-ceiling installation in my Home Theater room. The length needs to be about 25 ~ 35 ft, but I'm probably going to get a 40 ft cable just to cater for some unexpected length additions. I want a cable that's as future proof as possible, so...

Hi guys. I'm facing this 'issue' of sort which I wanted to discuss. I'm trying to decide where to place my JVC RS-46 in my HT room, and have to pick from one of two potential locations. I placed the projector in both locations yesterday (using cardboard boxes to hoist the projector up) to see...

Is there anything I can do which can damage the screen, permanently ? :p This would be my first attempt at projector screen installing, so I want to avoid any common mistakes ..

Hi guys ... So I ordered my Home Theater equipment late last year, but didn't get round to putting everything together till last weekend ... It took my like 2 days to setup majority of the stuff (cut cables, connect everything, setup 7 channel speakers with dual PS12-NSDs, receiver, projector...

Hi guys ... I wanted to get everyone's opinion on whether it's okay to use normal custom-length cut CAT 5e/6 Ethernet cable for running it between floors through walls .. I actually have my wireless router on ground floor (i.e. 1st floor for US folks), and its signals kinda struggle when I...

Hi guys ... Well I'm back with another speaker thread :) This is it guys, I need to finalize between 2 sets of Speaker setups (No other brand suggestions please - it will just confuse me more) .. I've finalized between two 7-speaker sets, but can't decide between them: Set 1 (KEF)...

First two are over my budget of about $1500 for dual subs ... Third one, I can't google on it :p

Hi all .. So some time ago I decided on getting dual PSA XV15 for my new 18 x 22 feet HT room .. The total price was $1518, which was expensive, but acceptable to me .. Problem is that PSA guys have experiencing delays on their side, and they say delivery can take 1-2 weeks from now, and I...

Got another question .. Which speaker wire do I need ? The 2-conductor one, or the 4-conductor one ? .. :P

Thanks for your hospitality Sam :)Regarding your question, I think the second option would probably be better, as it won't have any joints coming in it which could cause problems ..The cordmate thing is what is called a 'duct' here .. its basically the same thing, but has ca square-like...

I'm located in Pakistan (please guys, no politics) :) Problem is that the walls have already been built, so I can't do anything 'in-wall' at this point .. The best I can do is try to conceal the wires through either visible ducting (that runs along the edges of the walls), or maybe try to...

If I'm putting a cable inside the acoustic wall cladding layer, does it count has being in-ceiling ? What about if the cable has to be run through ducts ?Above questions are for both speaker, subwoofer wires, and HDMI cables ..

Hi guys .. So I'm setting up my very first home theater, and was wondering was kinds of cables, wires, sockets, ports, etc .. will I be needing ?I know about the HDMI cables which will be needed for video stuff, but I'm clueless in all other departments ..Here is my hardware:Projectors: JVC...

If I were to consider a receiver + amp configuration, and still minimize their total cost to under $1600 maybe, which amp and receiver would I get .. ? And would this be better than just a single X4000 ? Thing is, some people are saying that X4000 would be enough for my room, while others say...

Which Onkyo specifically would you suggest ?There are a few things I really like about the Denon X4000 .. It has Airplay builtin and also offers better control for dual subs ..Regarding your 4 point for supporting Onkyo:1. What exactly are you referring to as 2.0 radio ? Like FM radio ? If so, I...
