Hi All, I have been across these forums for a few months mainly hanging out in the Mitsubishi 7900DW owners thread as I purchased one of these along with an Elite screen to start my first home theatre project.
It was a little harder than most as I a had to work out a cost effective way to get the projector and screen to New Zealand. Both are finally here now via sea freight, but I have been instructed by 'the boss' that I cant start this project until I finish the spare bedroom upstairs and the fence I started which remains uncompleted.
That does give me some more planning time, but I am itching to get the projector and screen setup. I did throw it up for a quick trail but I found I had to re-arrange the room as this will be a dual purpose kids playroom and my movie room, however my wife is not the happiest with me taking over the space so I cant permantely leave furniture where I move it to. I can see it being a pain If I have to move the couch each time I want to watch anything.
Hence my first question of leaving the couch where it is along the side wall and instead having it setup width wise instead of the length of the room as I had first thought.
Above is the 3d Plan of the room currently. I had thought to have the screen on the far wall. People will have to be careful when coming in to not hit the screen with the door.
An alternative location could be leaving the couch where it is and then putting the screen on this wall
(Right side wall) My thought would be to build a big bookcase Along this wall and have the AV equipment in there. I would have the motorised screen in front of the bookcase.
As you can see I am competing for space, so I am open to any suggestions.
Cheers
Andy
