lm still having a dilema on colours....will having white walls ( not the PJ screen wall which will be black ) be a bad idea , as im worried about reflecting light ??
Ive got the colour scheme from 'The Force' , his thread is here and i really like the white,black and grey theme my little effort! .....

Just put some dustsheets up on the Walls to do some spraying- the performance of the pj has definitely diminished; my advice is to definitely have as dark as you feel is possible in order get the best out of your equipment, ESP close the screen. WAF is important however, but I found that redecoration to darker colours was one of the biggest upgrades I ever made

Some AV - in the media room im going to be playing most of my music off my PC which is a Sony Vaio VGC-V2S . Its a media PC and has the following connections . I will be hooking this up to a Denon AVR 1909 and want to know what will be the best output to use for audio ? I would also be greatfull if someone could tell me if i can hook this up to output video aswell ??.... it has the following connections and there are some pics below

Well Yuki - this is a project and a half mate !! Sounds like you'll have a corker of a room there. Have you decided on colours then ? Mike's given some sensible info there, and as for the audio out from your pc, the optical out solution sounds good to keep things in the digital domain.

Keep up the good work !

How much is this costing, if you don't mind me asking?

[yukichon]

Once the building stage is finished ill post a costing list up to that point but its about £5000 so far .

[yukichon]

Ok.....the roof came along great yesterday but the weather stopped it being finished today so tomorrow is looking more likely . The windows and doors should be here this week so im hoping to get the floor insulated before then . Once the windows arrive we can then get the rendering done . Once that is dry i can paint the outside and make it look presentable . The poor neighbours are having to do without a fence at the noment and even less of a fence when the rendering needs doing .... oh well , they are getting a brand new fence in replacement with feathered boards instead of the panels .... i have noticed though that i am right on the border with the roof overhang so once the guttering goes on i may be nudging over the line ... i hope they dont notice .....

ps. i picked up my Denon AVR1909 today for £405

oh well here is the roof so far

Let's hope they don't read this thread

Coming along nicely

[yukichon]

Not much till next week now , waiting for the builder to come in and polystyrene the floor so it can be screeded . Window and dooors arriving on Tuesday , then hopefully can start the rendering

[Kenny Glasgow]

Great project

When are you hoping to be finished and up & running?

[yukichon]

Im hoping to be finished in about 3 weeks , but that could all change if the weather does which it probably will ... so like i said im 'hoping'

[Kenny Glasgow]

I'll keep my fingers crossed

[yukichon]

no builder til friday

[Oggie]

just seen this thread, some good stuff going on....really interested to see what it turns out like......keep it coming mate

[DGracey]

This is one of the first threads I check also. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I can sympathise with your builder problems. Its just so frustrating to get close and then everything grinds to a halt for days (or in my case weeks).

Fingers crossed, your build should be finished around about the same time as mine. Good luck.

[yukichon]

At least the builder tells me he will be working on Saturday ...anyway , a quick question .... does anyone know where the thread is for setting up the PS3 to output HD audio over HDMI ??? I know i saw it somewhere but cant remember

Here you go Yuki me old china

[yukichon]

Cheer Bread but not the one i was looking for ?????? Im after the thread which explains the settings for HD audio on the PS3 ....

[breadmaker6]

God there is no pleasing some people

This one is geared to Onkyo amps () but very informative...if this one doesn't help, you are on your own!

[yukichon]

Cheers for that Breadhead....Good news - the windows and doors are here tomorrow and my skip has arrived so i can finally get all the rubbish from inside cleared ready for the floor on Friday .... finaly we are moving again

[yukichon]

Update .... the floor has been laid today , firstly 2 layers of polystyrene then the screed on top ... and the doors and window are here aswell

[Filbert]

Looking good! Looks like the 1909 has found a good home!

[yukichon]

We are moving along nicely .....

Batons ( 2x2 ) are going up although i have got the worst hammer strike in the world , all i keep doing is bending the screws

[cosmic023]

I always thought nails were banged in by a hammer, and screws were screwed in with a screwdriver!! (Only kidding)

Great progress so far, starting to take shape now.

Cheers
Lee

[yukichon]

lol...very true cosmic , but to just clarify , the baton is drilled through to the block , then the plug is banged into the baton which then has the screw banged into that until it goesthrough to the wall and ....then you screw the screw in ....im learning

Anyway , its now ready for the sparkies on Wednesday and then the soundbloc plasterboard . My chippie put up some blocking for the PJ to mount to eventually .... so i tested if it was strong enough by doing some chin ups .... i weigh 83 kg , this is a good scientific test for support as used by NASA

[Oggie]

liking the progress, what sort of heating are you gonna be putting in there ???

keep up the good work

[Mister Gonzo]

Looking good Yuki!
I'm definitely jelous that you've got a detached room to use - my garage is the only way to get into the back garden without going through the house so my wife quickly put a stop to me using it as a cinema! I was looking forward to painting it a dark colour and turning up the volume as loud as I wanted!

[yukichon]

Cheers guys .... for heating im going for a simple electric heater under the PC desk . Hopefully it will enough for it . Gonzo , im lucky enough to have access down the opposire side as i would have been in the same boat as you mate

My sub cable is a Monster THX with a length of 5m . This limits the positioning of the sub...does this matter or should i buy a longer one to benefit?
