Hello! It's been years since I've been on here - moved house, had a baby etc. I'm planning a small cinema in our spare room (used about twice a year for sleeping) so I'm converting the double bed to a Murphy wall vertical pulldown. The room size is 5mx3m with 2 windows that I'll get black out blinds for. Luckily, it's the room furthest away from the neighbour part wall so we can crank up the volume.
We already have a Philips HTS3510 with 5.1 speakers, which are fine for what we need, and that has phono inputs. I want to play Blurays/DVDs and plug in a Mac mini (around 2000 avi's/mkv's) to a semi-decent projector that will play onto a discrete pull down screen of no more than 50".
Any ideas on how the Philips will take in Mac mini sound to play 5.1? This may seem obvious but I am a tech dolt.
If it's not possible, then I may buy a small AV receiver to plug in a laptop/HDDs and play discs from that. Suggestions as to what that may be?
All help gratefully received.
