Mistere set up wip so far

Hi all,
After many months (9) of soul searching to find the right false chimney install finally I have enough pictures to post my set up so far.
Work commitments have limited me to 2 hours construction a day.

My set up so far

Samsung PS50Q97HD
Panasonic DMR-EX87EB
Panasonic SC-PT860
SKY HD
Nintendo Wii

Work completed

Wall construction
Plasterboard fitted
Wall bracket plasma mount fitted
Plasma Installed
Recessed lights fitted
Centre and front speakers installed in wall

Work in progress

Plastering joints etc
Lights in fire alcove (where centre speaker is mounted)
Remote control of lights with Harmony One (Picking up Wednesday)
Doors for cabinet underneath (Bain of my life at the moment)
Wiring surround speakers
Decorating whole room
Wallpaper the false chimney
Relaxing when all finished

Future project

Perspex coffee table
Projector and screen
Media PC setup

Hope you all like it so far

I am hoping to make some doors/drawers from MDF but having an inspirational block any advice?

If you sign up to an image hosting site like photobucket, just upload your pics there, then cut and paste the URL to the text of your post, place [img] in front of the URL you paste onto your post followed by [/img] no spaces, so for example it it would look like this :-

[img]linktoyourphotourl[/img]

hope that helps

Re: Mistere set up wip so far

As you can see the underneath has not been completed as was thinking of making some doors from MDF and painting them or making a drawer like set up so they slide out
need some advice

Re: Mistere set up wip so far

The set up of the harmony one is quite simple
You just have to remember that when you have to input you hdmi etc settings that they have to be spelt the same as displayed on your tv.
If your hdmi is in capitals with a full stop after it do it that way example HDMI. not just hdmi

Re: Mistere set up wip so far

Spent all evening trying to remove a very bad hum from center speaker !
After all night of changing settings and cables I found out it was the fm ariel cable input for the radio causing the interferance
What a simple but puzzling thing !
Harmony one being tweeked as we speak I LOVE IT my 8 year old daughter can use it no problem, and if there is she knows how to use the help function (smart daughter or easy remote)

Aw cute! Just make sure you don't barricade any in behind the MDF panels!
