CUrrently, My front speakers are to the right/ left of the screen. (front projection, speakers on stands). I find it annoying when watching movies, there is a glare of the speaker. WOuld it be ok to put the front speakers closer to the floor, so it wont cause a glare, and angle them upwards, or...

Hi, my room is about 17 ft long, by about 9 feet wide. The screen is on the 9 ft wall. The r/l speakers are on either side of the screen. Problem is, the speakers must be too close together, not giving a great r/l distinction in surround. They are as far apart as the room allows. will moving...

thanks for the info, larry

I am getting my Sanyo Z2 and Samsung 931 within a week (hopefully and Finally). Without specifics (because I probably wont understand them anyway) Is there a better way to go with video output? or does it not make much of a difference? The cables will have to travel about 10 ft. larry*s

Does anyone know of a good website to find out which movies are coming out when? thanks, larry

I have decided to get a Z2 projector. I also need a new DVD player. Is there a preferred DVD player that works nicely with a Z2? If not, what are some general suggestions, or things I should be looking for when purchasing a DVD player? larry

As with any construction project, from the staqrt, just go out and get the right tools instead of making due. The trip to the store and cost is minimal compared to how many times you,ll have to do it over, or how crappy it will come out. The right tools for the job makes so much of a...

I just missed the nail with my hammer, and took out my thumb instead. A few stitches later, my theater is almost complete. And worth the sweat and pain. larry

OK, I get the point! Thats what I figured. Thanks for the info. larry

Will placing speakers behind drapes/curtains affect the sound. (sorry for dumb question) larry

thanks, this is just the type of start im looking for. Any other suggestions welcome. thanks again, larry

the $1200 i plan on spending includes speakers, sub & reciever. DVD, cables... will be a totally separate budget. Im jsut interested in getting something of the bat to get started with, and then expand As it need be. I need to be pointed in a direction. Its very hard, as a beginner, to go into...

For the past 3 months or so, Ive been working on constructing my HT. Now that Im approaching completion, I need to concentrate on the sound system, which I am having a very difficult time doing. As far as the projector goes, Im pretty much set on a Z2 projector. But for the sound, I have...

great, thanks. Is there shipping with that? & if so, how much? larry

Where did you get, or where are you planning to get your Z2 from? I will be purchasing one (hopefully) within a month, and just want to know where everyone is getting it from, and if any bad experiences? larry

Ive seen those portable, windowless air conditioners advertised over the summer. Ive never used one or known anyone who used one so I cant give you too much info as per how loud it is, how cold it keeps the room, if there is any type of 'water pan' that needs to be constantly emptied..... i was...

My walls are black. I got some indoor/outdoor carpet which I adhered to the walls. It actually looks very clean cut and nice. The floor carpet is 'Matador Red'. I got it from home depot and installed it myself. Its actually not a solid red. There is a subtle checkered pattern in it. To break up...

Erik, I like the 1x4 idea. Ive been busting my hump on how to hang this thing, and I think that will work out perfect. I was also wondering how everything stays in place, I remember hanging curtains on my window, and it took all day (things falling....) But the stapling in place is perfect. Its...

My theater is nearing completion. I already purchased the material for the curtains. I was wondering if anyone has any specific pics or sites so i can get some ideas. Ive seen some in the past, but that was so long ago, its not fresh in my mind. thanks, larry*s

For those who were curious store#1 = circuit city store#2 = pc richards store#3 = best buy In all cases, Im blaming more the sales person than the store itself (I dont want to black ball any stores) Im off tomorrow and will probably step up my caliber of stores. My main goal is to see...

I hear ya, The first guy did seem very knowledgable, and I did learn alot about the tv i didnt have the money to buy, and nothing about the audio system I had $1000 in my pocket to spend. Realistically, I wasnt spending any $$ today anyway, it was just my first trip out to educate myself...

Ok, after a month or two of researching, asking questions .... I finally decided to take all my knowledge to the stores and see and hear first hand to help me make some decisions. My ultimate goal was not to purchase anything today, but more to 1) see what was in my price range 2)hear things 1st...

My Theater is almost done, So its coming to the point where I have to seriously narrow my projector choices. It will be exclusively DVD, so 16:9 is desirable. I have been seriously considering the Panny 300u, but with all this talk about the Sanyo Z2 becoming available soon, I dont want to jump...

a couple of things, I need a sound system for my theater room The room is 9' by 17' , strictly for theater purposes I know absolutely nothing about sound systems at all. Ive got $1000 budget (including receiver, speakers, wire..) From what ive read so far, staying away from HTIB's is...

My whole basement had a drop ceiling, so I decided to try and do a dry wall one for my HT. (Im still in the construction phase) My room is about 9ft by 17ft. I also have pipes. I got around this by using joists to lower my ceiling by about 6 inches (basically framing out the ceiling and...

Has anyone ever used carpet on the walls? If so, is there a better kind of carpet to use (berber...)? How did you get it to adhere to the wall? Anyone ever try carpet tiles? If this is not a good idea, any suggestions? larry*s

How important is symmetry of a HT room, while watching a movie? (for viewing as well as audio) When I say symmetry, Im not only including the specific dimensions of the room, but decor as well. If the wall to the left is significantly diff in decor, color... will that be distracting? The...

Framing isn,t that bad, but I hate the spackling. Its messy and if you dont do it every day, the sheetrock seems will be obvious. If your father in law is good at it, let him do it. If your covering the walls with some type of fabric, paneling... then the spackling wont make much of a...

Im taking it all in, and beginning my research. There is so much out there, I just needed to be pointed in the right direction. Problem I have, is the closest place that sells and displays front projection only deals with high end stuff, way out of my budget. Im still in the...

Im in the beginning phases of construction ( 2 x 4's, sheet rock...) and Ive got the stitches and bruises to prove it. Anyway, Im now thinking about How id like to cover the walls. As far as I can see it, I have 3 options. paint fabric carpet any pro's or cons for the above? any...
