lmao, love the storage of the dvds

Nice tv though

hehe, well yeah, it's not done just yet... That's the next thing i was gonna post about. I am looking for bigger dvd storage units now to put on the other side of the tv..

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?j=...d=1051384056640

is one i saw but i dunno if i like it..

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1051384082936

is another one but i'm already up to 143 DVDs here.. about 190 totalled with all that's borrowed included. So i'd already be maxed out. I'd like a metal, gray color or black and silver about 46"s high and maybe 25"s wide... looks like i might have to get it custom built.

What do you guys use?

Oh and here's a more updated picture with my component rack i just bought...

I'd post mine but I don't have access to a digital camera now.
I am in a dorm room...

Infocus X1 projector
Fusion HDTV III gold qam tv tuner in my computer
creative 5.1 speakers


Actually only cost about $5000 for the whole setup(computer included)

Just upgraded mine today... and boy... is it beautiful!

Sanyo 30" HDTV with built in HD Tuner (new.... droooool)
Motorola Dual Tuner DVR / HDTV Capable Cable Box from Comcast (Component to TV, Optical Audio to Receiver)
Pioneer A/V 5.1 Receiver (No 5.1 yet, just 2.0 )
XBOX with High Definition Pack (Component to TV, Composite Audio to TV (for now))
Sony Progressive Scan DVD Player (also new today... S-Video to TV, Digital Audio to Receiver)
Sirius Receiver (Composite Audio to Receiver)

I'm so proud... but my checkbook feels it...

And my god, 6 remotes..

That's my next thing, to get one of those Logitech universal remotes or something.

My next, and unfortunately last post.
Due to the feedback on topics I have seen
(Not referring to the ones I have posted in earlier)
As well as the fact that that there is over 550 Syntax errors on the front page alone increasing CPU load among other things.
And the fact that the coding for the Submit Post page is so bad that it spikes my browsers CPU Usage to 100% with nothing else open (No other forum I have seen does this).
I have decided that it is a waste to post here any more.
For forum admins/mods, try making a better first impression, they really are important.
Goodbye
And for some of you, try being nice for once.

As for my home theatre... Here..
Go to this site for higher quality pictures

Nice HT people, I wish I had a HDTV set. It may be coming in the next few years. For now I'd really like but with the 80" projector and the 50" RPTV I may forget it

RCA 61" DLP HDTV cut into the wall. Speakers haven't been mounted yet but they will be inside the wall too. Also, I am not a photographer so no comment on the flash

Hey everyone. I'd like to know in what direction should I place my rear speakers for my home theater system. Should I place them behind my couch facing my TV, or should I place them facing each other? Thanks.

[attachmentid=132052]

Just got my first LCD panel tv! It put my ass into debt.

Heres a pic, gotta clean up the setup tomorrow then I'll post proper pics.


http://www.vastyles.com/pictures/tv/ for more...


LG 32" goodness

That's a really nice TV Timan. Must be great having the Media Center PC hooked up to it. It is 32" correct?

Actually I just hooked up my moms dell which has mce on it to try it out. Must say MCE looks amazing on this tv.

I just need a new tv stand + speakers and I'm set

This is the LCD I purchased in my other post, This LCD is amazing in person, and the upside is that it was very cheap. £500 in fact. I got the best shots I could but its just so vibrant and great in person. The model is a VideoSeven 27".

MCE is looking so great on this machine.

She is one hell of a beast.

My nearly finished setup. Just got to sort out the back window, add media center pc, get wife to get rid of her cat things

Setup:
Samsung 43" Plasma
Bose Lifestyle 48 Home entertainment system
Sky+ 160

*drools*

B3AN, please tell me where you got that entertainment armoire where you plasma is attached. I NEED EXACTLY THE SAME THING. Can it fit 67" TV in that area where your plasma is? How high does it go? My ceiling in the house is at 9'.

Thanks! Btw, nice setup, you have similar taste as me.

My current setup in the living room of my temporary apartment:

- Sony 36" CRT
- Onkyo sound system 1000W 5+1 Dolby Digital/DTS





Since they just finish building my custom house, the whole house will be wired with audio/video goodies with complete surround sound throughout the house for ambiental music with individual setups throughout the rooms.

Setup that will be installed in 2 weeks:

- Living room: Samsung 6Gen 67" 1920x1080 Samsung top-of-the-line 1080p DLP + Onkyo latest 7.1 DTS receiver + Polk Audio floorstanding speakers 5+1 + Harman Kardon DVD player

- Loft/Office area: 42" Panasonic plasma + 1000W DTS Onkyo 5+1 setup / Pioneer DVD Player

- Master bedroom: Samsung or Panasonic 32" LCD HDTV wallmounted (still not decided)

- Current TV in that photo goes to the 2nd guest bedroom.

- HDTV digital cable throughout the house with individual HDTV decoders in appropriate places and additional satellite TV for maximum selection of HDTV channels and euro TV.

61 inch samsung DLP display
audio is 5.1 bose lifestyle 35 home theater syst

Thanks.

I got it from a shop called La Galleria (at Lakeside, UK). They don't have a website I'm affaird, and items from them are made to order and take quite awhile to ship from Italy. They are quite expensive but well worth it.


Iv got a 68" on order, it will fit fine. Same with the height. There were no mounts that came with the unit so I had to drill the needed holes for wall mounts and cables myself.

Updated home theater areas in my new house:

First is lower level of the house (living room) and then the upper loft area where my office is:

...pics not working now...I'll post later.

You need to seperate your L and R speakers more. They're so close together, it may as well be mono.

sony surrond sound

Where did you get that glass desk?

...and is that Frasier on the TV?

desk was from comet at £100 and yes it was frasier

Damn, I thought it was from some company that we have here on this side of the ocean.

how's the samsung slimfit?

So far:

Sony 60" WEGA SXRD Display
Dish Network ViP 622 HD-DVR
Sony DVD +/- RW Player

Pics coming later

That is a pretty awesome setup.

It's got a few issues, but for an $800 HDTV, that's pretty much to be expected.

The 4:3 image has a bit of warping at the top and bottom, but I stretch all my 4:3 inputs to 16:9 anyway, so that doesn't affect me. There's also a small purple discoloration in bottom right corner, but I'm fairly certain that it's related to tilting the image too much. After resetting the tilt to just one 'unit' to the left, it's mostly faded away and I don't notice it anymore.

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. Good colors, brightness, contrast, the whole deal. Plenty of inputs for my DVD player and game consoles. And after using the AVIA calibration DVD, the picture's even better

Well here is my setup: Mind you im living in the dorms so nothing to fancy, but i like it. Its a pic from novemeber, the only difference is my old xbox is now a 360: here it is





Panasonic Tau 27 Inch Flat Screen

Sony 5.1 Dolby Digital Reciever
Two Technics floor speakers with 10 inch woofers
Two Bose Book Shelf Speakers
Sony Center Channel

Compaq Presario PC Media Center XP with DVR
Two 12 inch Blue Neon light bars
Two 3 Inch sound actived Light bars

Panosonic VCR and of Course my Xbox <3 (replaced with 360)

Not Pictured

Two sony Satelite Surround sound speakers



yes that is my laundry behind the speakers so...yeah be quite

Also, i ended up taking care of all the wires with wire tye's but that was post the taking of this picture

Not the prettiest and a bit overkill but I love it

Onkyo make awesome equipment. I am personally using a Onkyo Integra DTR-7.6. Makes Harmon Kardon look like a JVC.

Once I clean up my room, ill have some pics up. Its not an uber great system, but it does its job.

I couldnt edit my last post but here are my pics:










Quest 100W speakers, I forgot the model number
Advent 20" Flat Screen TV, it has a toshiba tube
Panasonic DVD Player
Playstation 2
Sony DTR-697 7.1 700W
Some Cheap Motorola Digital Cable Receiver
Xbox.

Im 15...it gets the job done.

I just took pictures of my home cinema/ xbox 360 setup for the xbox 360 pictures thread as it includes my hoem cinema setup ile postt them here too.

I havent dug out the model numbers for everythgin, but i did research most of the components quite a lot, and have repalced ones i wasnt happy with, as a result its a realy enjoyable setup.

Click the pictures for bigness.


Gamepads, Remotes, Media Center Keyboard, and a view of most stuff.



My fairly recent 40" 16:9 Samsung 720P LCD TV (Recently replaced my Pioneer 4:3 40" Plasma)



Running Media Center 2005



With no flash



2 Cable recievers feeding my dual tuner media center 2005 computer (on the bottom) and controlled by it, note the cardboard so that the media center can control the boxes independantly, ghetto. My Yamaha 5.1 Rcciever / Amp sits in between. Love this amp.



Tannoy MX-10 Subwoofer, pretty loud and pretty low . I can see where i miss when dusting now, thanks to the flash. Yeh I knwo the wires are messy.



My Main Front Speakers, made by mission, they are bi wired to channels A and B on my amp and sound amazing, I usualy play music in 2.1 through these and the sub woofer for the best sound. I game in 5.1 of course and watch TV in Pro Logic.



My Rear surround speakers, also Mission floor standers, these sound spretty good and as they are only rear surrounds dont have to work as much, I think they are a bit ugly though and want to replace them some day.



Sony Playstation 2, pretty much retired, i havent played it since i bought my 360, I bet its pretty poo looking on my new TV scaled any way.



The xbox 360, with my media center 2005 remote control receiver to the right of it, and my Gale center speaker above it. It took my weeks to find a center speaker that sounded good, and fitted in that slot, it look snice too, bonus.



xBox Games, Oblivion Guide, Headset.


PS2 Games, cant see these gettign used for a while, if ever.


Im very happy with the setup, the only thingg i will change is the rear speakers and the remote control situation.

I want that logitech harmony remote that does Media Center 2006 and scripts everything else so its integral. Im strugglign to find a UK supplier for that so if anyone knows of one please let me know.

For speakers, im thinking of replacing the front ones with the same model but the 3 woofer version, and putting those ones at the rear.

....

I just cleaned it up so nothing is on the shelves except the 360's power supply.

Hmmm what do i have

Building it up slowly. Next is a TV as my current one is a 51cm

Anyhoos.

Accusound Signature Series Reference 6, 5.1 100W speakers.
Samsung DVD-HD747 High Definition ready DVD player, plays divx as well. yay. (optical connections and component)
Kenwood KX-69W Dual Cassette deck (RCA)
Supernet SD Digital Box (will upgrade this to HD once i get new TV. (Optical and component)
Panasonic NVHV60 6 Head Hifi VCR (RCA)
Main computer is also rigged up to it (from other room) and so, can play all my collections on the computer as well and view via the main system.(RCA)

and the driving force around it.

Yamaha RXV640 6.1 125W Digital Dolby
