I thought I would start a thread on here to show a few people what I have been doing with my home cinema. I also thought it would be of use to a few people I have been emailing that are doing something similar....
I currently have planned for this room the following:
1) Installation of a Sony VPL-VW10HT projector on the ceiling
2) Use of a LMP PC projector mount from www.lmp-pc.co.uk
3) Installation of a Futronix P100 2 way remote control programmable lighting dimmer (see http://www.futronix-info.com/p100.htm ).
4) All speaker and projector cables not visible (behind plaster or under floorboards).
5) All cables terminated to gold plated connections on white faceplates
6) Electronic projection screen (controlled by the Sony projector trigger output).
7) Victorian Cast Iron Fireplace (to give the room a focal point when not in use as a cinema).
8) 4 x Art Deco Cinema style (maybe) wall lights.
9) 15m rope light round the room to give that cinema effect - See http://www.futronix-info.com/Sofitel.htm )
10) Home made 500Watt Sub
11) Wired for Cat 5 (512MB ADSL Router) and Sky Plus.
12) Two chairs (would love a Lazyboy from www.lazyboy.co.uk but budget may not allow!)
13) All work done so that the room can be converted back into a normal room (just incase we decide to use it for anything else).
...and all trying to keep "her indoors" happy with the way the room looks.
I'll post pictures on here when I make progress....
