Thanks for the info guys. Fortunately I have access to the ducts feeding my theater room so I'll be able to give each of the ideas here a try. I'll report back after I make some modifications.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to quiet the air "whoosh" of a central hvac system. It really seems quite loud in theater when the system activates. You don't hear the running of the motor, only the rush of air through the duct. I have heard of some type of silencer by a company called...

The best solution, in my opinion, if you have attic access above the space is to go up and over. That is, you fish the wires vertically to/from the attic to your head end, and then vertically to/from each speaker location. Unless the wall is relatively tall with firebreak blocking, you should...

Jamo is a Danish company that is the largest speaker manufacturer in Europe. They make a full line of speakers that are known for being very stylish and easy on the eyes.. Read that as women think they look very chic. I have a A350 (I think thats right)5.1 system in my family room that is used...

You should be able to get a coax to toslink (or vice versa) converter for about $30.00 per unit with a power transformer.

Thanks for the information. I was perusing the manual for a tone generator and it referenced output in either a sine wave or square wave. It seems that all the test tones I was familiar with were sine wave tones, so I was curious about the other. Thanks.

Could anybody tell me the difference calibrating using a sine wave vs. a square wave. Is one preferable over the other, do they serve completely different purposes, etc...

I wish I had thought to run a piece of conduit from my equipment rack to the floor under my sofa for bass shaker wires. I'd like to play with some, but I'm unwilling to string the wires across or under the carpet.

Your theater room happens to be almost the same dimensions as my own. I also have the vaulted ceilings on each side. I went with a lighting scheme similar to that laid out on your plan. I have two rows of four recessed cans down the long axis of the room, additionally I installed four wall...

Had similar thing happen a few times with my sony mega. If you unload it and have a reasonable small arm, or access to one you can reach around the entire tray and pick the fallen disc out. I bought my unit from a pawn shop for a few bucks and found about five cd's from the previous owner lodged...

From the been there, done that department, my advice would be to cut the drywall and install a framing member. Drywall repair cheap....Projector repair expensive..... YMMV

How about 3, or even four or more??

For comparison, I have a Sim2 HT300+ that is located directly above my seating area. After having it installed for about a month, I had my carpenter back in to build an enclosure because I did find the noise distracting. YMMV.

Enclose it in a cabinet with a ventilation system. Alternatively, I believe there is a company called Hushbox that makes plexiglass projector enclosures for just this problem.

Thanks for the information. I think I will live with the player for a week or two and make a decision.

I must admit that after searching on this topic I'm still a little hazy as to what if any consensus was generated on this topic. Would it be advantageous to use a outboard bass management solution such as the Outlaw ICBM of M&K BMC Mini of LFE-4? The unit would be connected to a Preamp/Processor...

If your pre/pro or receiver has a 12vdc output, both Niles and Xantech make switched ac outlets controlled by a 12vdc input. Simply plug your amps into the switched outlets and connect the 12vdc and your pre/pro remote will also activate your amps.

Middle Atlantic will manufacture a custom faceplate for any component you have, whether its in their database or not. If they don't already have it you just submit a set of measurements on a form available on their website. They are admittedly pricey, but the quality is outstanding.

I have a Sim2 HT300+ that is mounted inside a projection cabinet. I am wondering if it would be possible to place a piece of clear glass (or any transparent material) over the projection opening in the cabinet without adversely affecting the picture quality. I am interested in doing this to...

Middle Atlantic Products makes a line of small fans designed to be installed in rack enclosures that are powered via a wall plug. They might be adaptable to your use.

I recently finished construction of my home with a dedicated HT room on the second floor. I used staggered stud construction with insulated walls all around and also placed insulation underneath all the floor of the HT room. I also used a solid core door with weatherstripping and about 1/16"...
