Got 2 systems, but both rooms are a mess, so no pics (for now)

Main room:
Toshiba 43inch rear proj TV
Yamaha LPX500 Projector (aprox 130inch 16:9 on wall)
Denon AVR3805
Pioneer 667 DVD
Xbox
Boston CR8 L/R
Boston VR910 centre
Boston VRS di pole rears
Boston PV500 sub

Xbox Room
Vidikron Helios projector (aprox 100 inch 4:3 on the wall)

yamaha RXV750
Xbox #2
1 x Boston CRC centre
Boston micro 110x L/R
Mirage something or other bookshelves (rears)

Nothing quite like the xbox nights, playing Halo with 4 people per xbox is not so bad when you have every has at least a 50inch screen to themselves. excellent for the 8 person free for all...

UCS,
Where did you get the screen material for your custom screen?
I went around looking for a 92-100" like a screentechnics & most people want over $800 for one....thinking of doing the DIY routine.

Hey guys

My HT was just installed today. Until sunday it was being used as a temporary guest room so there's a bed and stuff etc there but I'll show pics of equipment (no pics of rear of room and seating area atm because of this). Once I've got the room set up completely I'll update pics. Also, please excuse all the random remotes (the universal one isn't set up yet) and documentation in equipment area. I also don't have a proper cabinet at the front for centre speaker and my 100+ collection of DVDs.

Also note that in some pics the angles are a little screwed (eg one of pj connected to ceiling looks like blinds at back are not parallel to ceiling - they really are)

*Note* the subwoofer is behind the square hole to the right of the front left *Note*

Specs:
Panasonic AE500 Projector
Screentechnics 96" Matt white Screen
Front mains are B&W 602.5 S3 Floorstanders
Subwoofer is B&W ASW600
Centre is B&W LCR60
Rears are in-ceiling B&W CCM80
Receiver is Yamaha RX-V650
DVD recorder is Panasonic E85H
DVD player is Pioneer (can't be bothered checking model but it's a pretty current one)
And an Xbox

Onto the pics:

As you can tell by the amp and cd player, the system plays reasonably crisp music.

Sadly, it doesn’t perform too well playing movies.
Movie surround is only Dolby Pro Logic, its’ THD is shabby and channel separation is not defined.
And the telly is too old and small.
Bloody mortgage, gotta upgrade…

Are there any good quality stand-alone decoder units I can buy rather than buying a new a/v amp?

Ok, my turn. Excuse my dodgy camera skills.


The projected image sits plumply between the two Speakers, and right inbetween the bottom of the light, and the top of the centre speaker. I'm just using the (almost) white wall, which seems to work quite well. I've got the home made sub in right corner there. I really should paint it black to make it blend in a bit more. Resting ontop is the TV for general television viewing and what not. Just to the left of the Amplifer is the HTPC, complete with a Digital TV Tuner Card.


Here's a few shots of it in action. Colours and whatnot look better in real life. Again, excuse my dodgy camera work.
