Great job!

2 questions.

1. Were do you point the remote when turning up volume or changing the channel? Do you point it towards the back of the room were you rack is?

2. How do you have the 2 centers wired?

Thanks

1. If you look on the upper right hand corner of the TV in the 2nd photo you may see the light reflection from an IR emitter which is plugged into the wall with a telephone like plug and then gets hardwired back to the equipment via Cat5 wire where it is then connected through a distribution block and wired to each piece of equipment. I used the Elan Home Systems IR Control, it is very easy to install and setup.
I haven't hard mounted the emitter to the TV as of yet because I'm still playing with the location, so far the top right hand corner of the TV works great because I can remotely use all of the equipment from the adjoining room. So to answer your original question, we can use the remote(s) anywhere in the music/TV room or the adjoining room as long as the remotes can visually hit the emitter on the TV. Slick system!


2. I have the centers wired in parallel (r/r, b/b to r/b) via a dual banana plug from the wall plate. It puts a 3.43 ohm load to the H/K receiver but so far I haven't had any heat or overload issues, a nice testament to the receiver! The two centers are sounding very nice, they really plant the dialog right in the middle of the screen.

I'll take some pics of the wiring for the IR system and the wiring of the two centers whenever I get a chance.

Thanks again for all of the nice comments everybody, I appreciate them!


cool, thanks!

hope you dont mind but i think i may have to take the color of your room and use it in my own living room! really looks slick.
