Alias, Season 3 * At least this will give me a few more Alias episodes to watch until Season 4 starts in January :)

James, I wouldn't worry about your drop-ceiling affecting your sound enough to be noticeable. I agree with what Jimi said, that you will be able to get a very good set-up for your projected budget that will make you very happy. You should be able to get enough power from a HT receiver that...

The first thing that we would need to provide suggestions to you is your planned budget and exactly which pieces that budget will cover. Without that, it would be tough to give you any real suggestions, since projectors and screens have such a large range of prices. As far as a couple of your...

Congrats Steve, there have been a large number of us who have been watching your project come to fruition with awe and amazement. I hope you enjoy finally getting your "play time" with it this weekend. Unfortunately, here in the Tampa, FL area, we're bracing for our third hurricane in the past...

Jon, reading Jay's reply, he appeared to be talking about the lens shift capability that some projectors have to allow you to place the projector at any height BETWEEN the top and bottom edges of the screen. However, in that case, if you are ceiling mounting the projector, who needs it, since...

What size screen are you planning on? By your choice of the Z12000, I am assuming that you are intending to get a 16:9 format screen, right? If you are looking at a larger screen, like around 119" diagonal, then the screen would be roughly 58" high, which means, that without a border, the bottom...

Will you have attic access above the area that you are considering pre-wiring? If so, I don't think it's even a question - like the others said, DON'T pay for it. You can either do it yourself (it's pretty easy to do) or pay someone to do it for a small fraction of that $900. And even if there...

I was just wondering about how automated you can get in a home theater application. For instance, is it easy to use your HTPC to set up a kind of automated macro to kick off just one command that will turn on all of your components, open an IR-controlled set of drapes in front of the screen, dim...

David, Thanks for the advice. I had not seen the 1.5/1.8 viewing multiple before. Neil, I originally planned on buying a screen. However, after checking out the multiple threads with countless reams of examples of people building their own, I admit I am intrigued by that idea. I saw your...

Looking for some expert insight from people that may have already tackled this question. Here's the necessary background info that I can think of: Sanyo PLV-70 Room size of 16'W x 22'L x 9'H Considering seating rows at approx. 20' and 15' distance from the screen Dedicated HT room...

OK, a related question for all you experts out there. Here's the necessary background info that I can think of: Sanyo PLV-70 Room size of 16'W x 21'L x 9'H Dedicated HT room (completely darkened, no ambient light) I am interested in determining how large of a screen I can go for with...
