hi Josh; cant post a URL here but if you go to the homasote,com! website there's some valuable acoustics info

Hi Josh; Is your Yamaha happy driving the 4 ohm speaker loads. I'm using an Onkyo SR 701 and have three LSi 9s in the front and three LSiFX in the back. I'm pretty happy with the sound and the Onkyo appears to have enough soup to drive them. I hav two Audio Source subwoofers (one 12" and one...

hi Josh; im setting up in basement so ac isnt a problem for me. In the Master Handbook of Acoustics by Everest, chapter 18 addresses Quiet Air. might be some stuff you can use there

If you have a second row of seating, the height of it will determine how high your screen should be. The folks in row 2 should be able to see the bottom of the screen with row 1 occupied

Hi Josh: Recessed ceiling lighting should be fine. Suggest choose wall sconces that do not allow light to shine directly on your screen, and if you keep the area around the screen and forward of the screen about 3 feet dark using side and overhead curtains or the like, you'll find you can keep...

hi Josh; unfortunately i havent posted enough on this site yet and am therefore not permitted to provide URLs, but you can try searching on yahoo for J W Mooney who's written a bunch of useful tech data on accoustics and also search for "accoustic isolation" where you'll find a bunch of useful sites

hi Josh; blocking medium and high frequencies is fairly straightforward using carpeting and foam. Its the subwoofer frequencies that are the killers and as far as I know high density material is the only thing that can reduce them significantly. there are some vinyl products on the market that...

Hi all; here's an update. The Sony units don't really daisy chain, they simply have three different remote control settings so you can control each of three units without affecting the others. They still each require their own inputs to the device they are connected to. i opted to use an Audio...

hi Mike; before you invest a nickel, there are two things you need, one is a business plan and secondly an accountant who can help you put the plan together and see if it works. In short you have to define what the business will be, project sales over the next 12 months at a minimum (you really...

Hi John; thanks for your inputs. The SONY units permit daisy chaining three units. My DVD collection is approaching 1000 which i currently store on shelving, which takes up quite a bit of space and if i start getting some decent looking shelves they will probably cost almost as much as the SONY...

thanks again Leo. the degradation you described sounds like a semiconductor dying a slow death, a little scary!! I think i will try to get specs on the driver from SONY before I try it. May end up having to go for a mechanical solution after all.

Thanks again for your thoughts Bob. I will probably make my own cables if I feel confident enough to go ahead with it. Will let you know the outcome. hi Leo; I'm pretty sure the tv splitters are passive and bidirectional as I have cable service for both TV and Internet access and have at...

Hi Bob; Thanks for your input. I wasn't referring to audio bridges. My thought was that standard 75ohm TV splitters (the passive kind you would use to distribute your cable signals around your house, designed for video frequencies) would possibly do the job. My thoughts were that they would...

I have an Onkyo SR 701 receiver that supports only two RGB sources. Currently Ive connected a scientific Atlanta Cable box to one and a JVC DVD player to the other. I also have a SONY CX985V 400 DVD/CD disk player that I've connected to an S-Video input. It all works together just fine, but it...
