Hello everyone,
I've been a long time reader and haven't posted much. I've been given the opportunity to literally put together my dream home theater. I'm talking 40k+ budget... the catch is that its not for me. My father-in-law is remodeling their house and he wants me to do up his home theater for him. I'm pretty stoked. If nothing else it is going to be a lot of fun. I'm going to be posting more frequently hopefully looking for some help on specific things. But to get started here is a little run down of ideas so far so that you can get a feel for where this thing is headed.
Equipment list: (Please feel free to chime in and let me know your opinions on any of the products listed below I would love the feedback)
*Onkyo TX-SR804 Reciever (25ft Monster M1000 HDMI Cable to projector)
*Klipsch THX Ultra2 Speaker System
*Sony VPL-VW50 Projector
*VUTEC 123" SilverStar Screen
*Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player (4ft Monster M850 HDMI Cable to receiver)
*Nintendo Wii (Monster GameLink Component Video and Stereo Audio A/V Kit for Nintendo Wii to receiver)
*Apple TV (Monster iTV Component Video Cable & Fiber Optic cable to reciever)
*DIRECTV HDTV Receiver HR20-700S (4ft Monster M850 HDMI Cable to receiver)
*Logitech Harmony 890 remote with RF extender
*Monster Cable 100' Ultra-High-Performance CL3-Rated Speaker Cable
*Monster Power High Definition Video HTFS 500 PowerCenter for projector
*Monster Power HTPS 7000 MKII PowerSource
*AvRak for equipment
I'm pretty sure that covers it...
I do have a few questions to start off...
First: Any recommendations for automated curtains setups?
Second: I have sort of a dilema concerning the remote and the rf extender. The projector is going to be pretty far from the equipment rack which will house the rf extender and deliver the signals to the equipment. The projector is going to be built into a nook in the celing and I wanted to run an rf extender to it as well so the remote can drive it too. Is it possible for the logitech harmony 890 to drive two rf extenders?
(Additionally I have attached an image of an rough approximation of the floor plan, its the latest image I have but there has been a few updates since it was created)
