The Matinee 2HD has already arrived.
The 106" Da-Lite Cinema Contour HCCV screen
should arrive before the end of the month,sometime next week.
In anticipation of the screen to arrive , some changes where required to make room for the 52"X92" dimension screen which will eventually replace the old Toshiba 61" RPTV.
I started the process.
Here is a walk through with Photo's...
The original room set-up
The beginning of taking everything apart.
First step was to pull the speakers out. The Servo-15 located in the
corner has to be moved to the inside as the 6 1/2 Audio rack has to
go into the corner.
The Studio Matinee 2 HD waiting for action. Purchased from
AVdeals for $2,799 CDN.
The wall were the Da-Lite Cinema Contour screen will be mounted.
Here is the approx area on the ceiling where the 2 HD will be
mounted. Cables on order are the CatCables Tigress Components.
A 9 meter length will be required for connection to the Toshiba SD-9200
DVD player.
The Audio rack was much too heavey to move, so the Parasound
amps had to be disassembled to make the rack lighter for moving.
Here is the half empty rack after moving it over. Well over 500 LBS
when full of gear.
More stuff all over the room
I used tape to mask the area in which the screen would be mounted.
The Cinema Contour was ordered with a Protrim finish which is to assist
in managing light spill. The trim is three inches wide. Unfortunately the
only tape I had was the same color as the wall, so I used a pen to highlight the actual location the screen would end up when set-up.
Actual screen placement highlighted.
I needed to know exactly where the screen was going to be set in order for the Servo-15 sub's , Studio CC center channel and Studio 100's
to be placed in the correct location and not obstruct view of the screen.
Speakers, Subs and center channel in place.
A close-up of the Tower of Power, reassembled.
A front view from the center seating area. As you can see,
the 106" viewing diameter is much larger than the old 61" viewing area.
Thanks for looking!
I will add updates as they occur.

Thanks Trevor. She's coming along very nicely. A little more molding to put up and I'll take some new pics and get'em on my site. I am very pleased at how it's looking so far.
