After a long gap... here is an update.
The past few months I've been gathering some more things to move forward. Here are a few goodies that were dropped off:
Video:
Panasonic DMP-BDT 360GA
DUNE HD MAX
Sony Playstation 3 (500GB)
Projector: Panasonic PT-AE8000U Full HD 3D Home Theater...
I've been on the search for some time now, for a set of behind the screen LCR main speakers for my home theater. I'm trying to build DIY speakers based on designs suggested by members here.
Since this is a HT application, I want to get good off-axis response… BTW, in the name of sound quality...
Dune Max won't detect optical drive
My Dune HD Max stopped being able to detect its internal optical (Blu-ray, DVD & CD) drive.
It can still detect the hard disk and all other player functions seem OK.
The top menu previously showed the optical drive and the hard disk. Now it just shows...
Hey guys!
Here is an update on the build… I have spent countless hours on there reading and learning since I started trying to figure out what I wanted to do 6 months ago. It’s like a fun project for me... The entire room needs a good deal of sound work. Even still, I'm happy with how it sounds...
Slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Tough to get things done when you are on carpenter’s schedule, but I'm grinding along. Got most of the ceiling done, preparing bass traps and acoustic panels…
Got few sample seats today... my folks liked the red one, the design part of it and not the fabric though. Actually it is wider by 2” and comfortable than the other two.
Decided to order seven seats with individual arm rests… and different cloth material which I have to select.
Framing work completed and AV cabinet in place….cabling almost done but for one sub signal cable. Got 30 Rock wool bags delivered yesterday.
There was a leak from one point of the slab joint side…. getting the pressure grouting done today.
Entry door to the theater on the left:
Bags...
The steel is for supporting the screen frame and also to act as additional bracing to the prefab wall panels…The old screen was kept aside for a very long time... just checking the retracting mechanism.
For screen size it's all about taste…. I could easily see a 120-150 inch 2.35:1 in that...
Thanks andy,
The wall is built from prefab panels and have good noise insulating quality...fortunately i live far away from flying zone :)
That is not just metal roof...It's going to be composite slab of 3" thick concrete laid on top of the decking sheet.In addition, will be doing thermal...
Started laying of electrical, speaker and signal cables. The cabling work is being carried out by a local guy and someone from my work giving him a hand.
To reduce hum and noise I want to install a dedicated line with only a single ground from the audio / home theater system to the electrical...
Thanks Sam,
The 3 pics are of the composite decking sheet being fixed.... in fact yesterday...the plasterers were skimming the walls and pouring the concrete slab....
I will add more photos as the work progresses.
Hi all,
My wife finally parted with a portion of her terrace garden and let me build a home theater.
First off all I find myself very fortunate to build a room that can be dedicated to music listening and watching movies. The room will be 3.96 meters wide, 7.38 meters long and a height of 2.7...
