My Home Theater Setup

[aloklala]

I would recommend APC UPS. I got 2 of them one for HTPC and one for Projector. I would suggest you just buy one with a bigger capacity and not repeat the mistake I made by increasing the number of equipment!
I can provide you the details of the distributor in Nehru place who can give you the best price and genuine stuff as he is directly from APC company.
I would also recommend a full sinewave offline UPS. This will not have any chnageover in case of Powercut as it always runs on battery and the battery consistently gets charged.

anuj,

Can you repost the pics again? I'm not able to see them.

The galaxy ceiling looks exciting, something even I've been searching for quite sometime. I've talked to couple of contacts but they didnt have pure white stars based galaxy ceiling wallpapers..they had those glowing ones, which I didnt want..

Great thread. Nice reading it. Congrats on your HT in the making! I will PM you for acoustics. My house is still coming up, still a few months before I can touch my HT room to be.

What is the progress on the ceiling?

Have you considered using powerconditioning equipment (like the ones from Monster or similar brands)? I use an 2KV APC UPS for my projector. My Denon is not supposed to be connected to a UPS (or so says the warning). So you need to make sure all your equipment is going to work with the UPS.

Do keep us updated.

Very good progress Anuj!

Is the elephant a decorative piece you will keep in here or remove? IT will be a distraction while wathing movies.

Wich company are the remote control switches? How many lights will they be able to control?

 

[Viren007]

amazingly.... nicely done...

 

[santnai]

Awesome setup. Very nicely implemented.

 

[anuj_sethi1043]

@ special thnx to aloklala and Vinay for helping me at every step for queries..the work is still half way done

@alok : elephant is decoratve piece which is just kept there...will get it removed, the light controlled switched are from ebay india for 1000 rs( one set) bought 2 of them and iy contains 3 switches ( you can out as much lights you want on it )

now left is home theater screen, AV setup, Logitech harmony remote setup and carpet which would be placed on walls am looking out for carpet with 2-3 mm thickness as regular carpets are of atleast 6-10 mm thickness

this has increased costing a lot thus waiting for right impoter of carpet and hunt is on !!

I have a Harmony 650 Infrared remote which I never use as it controls only the AVR and Projector and not the Sub Woofer and Whirlpool split AC. Also using it is very complicated compared to the original remotes. I am also comfortable with having 4-5 remotes and so Harmony is sitting unused. For this reason I would like to suggest you to evaluate if you will really be able to use the Harmony remote.

I got a carpet from a wholesale dealer of the most simple carpet rolls in Panipat and as I have written in my post it was very cheap. It is thin and easy to clean. I have a pretty hard foam beneath it which makes it soft and fluffy which I like very much.

What are you looking for in AV setup? I did not get that.

Best of Luck.

@alok :- i had already bought logitech harmony 100 on sale around 6 months back..its gr8 and very easy to use(the best ever universal remote) few people say..i work in Mumbai so HT room took lot of time to be completed

i also mentioned earlier in thread i started out with a very very less budget ..for HT but after bringing all AV setup ( optoma HD20,Harman Kardon HKTS30 and denon 1312XP) .. it was decided to renovate the basement completely thus giving me space to have separate HT room

i would change the AV equipments later on..but for the meanwhile basic setup for AV is i have

IR switches(net gear company as far as i remember) is availible in database for logitech harmony 1000, that is why bought little expensive, all the lights in HT were bought from bhagirath palace itself:yahoo:

i still have to buy APC UPS as suggested by you, now shifting permanently to gurgaon hyeah:

@paritosh: Elephant and one leopard leather dummy we have from long time..but someone told its not good for home ( some negative energy n all) thus were sent in the store room ( now my HT ) thus its kept there hehe:lol:

On of my APC UPS had a battery issue and I complained to their helpline. A guy came and looked at it and said the battery needs to be replaced and will be done in a few days. After a few days they replaced my UPS with a brand new one! This is the best Service I have seen till date!

Please do not put negative energy stuff in the Holy HT Room!

Anuj,

With these latest pictures of your theatre in making i am excited, thanks for sharing these images. I think it will be among the top 5 dedicated theater's in this forum.. Congratulation's. V.

A universal remote is the way to go forward, i think this is a must for a dedicated room because it is too classy and can easily control gadgets including lights etc.

V.
