My New Home Theater 2.0, Staggered Wall HT. - Page 8

Thanks W00lly. Yeah, it's been awhile bud.



Thanks guys!

Room isn't done yet, still have a few more stuffs to work on. But at least it's functional in the meantime (probably a bad idea! ). No, not really. I've never notice of any reflection or got bothered with from the ceiling nor the side wall.

Some quick update.

I programmed the Harmony remote & it's RF emitter so no more multi-remotes nor pointing to the device. I took advantage of the IR trigger input for the Denon, OPPO, and the JVC. Had to do a quick run to the RadioShack for some 2.5mm->3.5mm adapter & some 3.5mm cables. However, I ran into a problem for the JVC projector. Every button for the projector works fine from the IR input except the "On" command?? I thought it probably needs to learn the "On" command from the JVC remote; however, it works fine when not using the Harmony RF emitter, just point the remote to the projector. So the "On" command is correct. I'm really scratching my head on this one..... Other than that, the remote is working perfectly. Once we have the rope light installed, I'll program the Insteon onto the Harmony too.

And here's a quick & dirty cellphone preview of the ambient light that will be surrounding the stagger panel both on top & below.



Self note: NEVER EVER plug in the rope light when they are in coil!! They WILL melt!!

GO RAVEN~!!

Yes, I do have different thickness of Linacoustic behind the panel mainly depends on the thickness of the panels. They are floor to ceiling at the first reflection point or about where the door is.

Thanks.

Alright, we've finally had the door panels & the knob done today! And finished up putting the backing stripes for the surrounding rope light. Next week, hopefully we'll finish putting up the rope light.

Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here you go.





Now, both me & Big could go enjoy the Super Bowl tonight. GO RAVENS!!

I decided to use regular incandescent rope light instead of LED because of the warmer light color to better match the HT. I've tried those so-called "warm" LED, but it's just way too plain white to me. And my wife really against the cool blue LED.

Btw, we made some great progress the last two weekends! Lights are done, and almost finished the surrounding panels too (only one corner left). After that, we'll work on the surround panels around the screen. Then it'll be DONE!!

Well, at least for the current "phase I". Already have plans for "phase II" down the road.

Yup, no pics at the moment. Will have a massive pics once update once everything is done, or Big will post some of his hard works.

In the meantime, here's a shot of the rack drawer for the remotes.

LOL.... I would LOVE that!!

I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!

actually this is the diffusor panel that we use. http://www.auralex.com/sound_diffusor_qfusor/sound_diffusor_qfusor.asp

I arranged them alternatively, vertical-horizontal-vertical pattern at the back wall.

and here's the the tracking that we use to hold the rope light for the top one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TSI7MC/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the bottom lights are taken care by gravity.

Here's some pics of the diffusor panels.
