Hello all,
I'm new to home theater and will very likely be purchasing a Panny AE 100 in the near future.
I'm moving to a new apartment shortly and I am trying to plan my initial hometheater layout so all my cables/etc will be properly placed when I'm ready for the AE 100.
Basically, I will have a 14 foot by 15 foot home theater room, in which I will be placing a 5.1 DD/DTS system and a AE 100.
Here's my question: Is it possible to place the AE 100 immediately behind the seating area (my couch), yet avoid the "screen door" effect?
(From what I've read on this board, sitting approximately 1.5-2x the screen width will allow you to avoid the screen door effect (which would seem to require having the projector placed in front of the seating area) . . . I would prefer to have the AE100 mounted on a tripod/rack immediately behind my couch rather than have it on a table in front of my couch (ceiling mount is not an option in my apartment) . . . is this doable?)
If this is doable, where can I buy a cheap projector tripod/find DIY instructions?
Thanks for your help,
Neil
