Another update, my BIL passed this past week after a tough battle with cancer and we just got back early this morning from the funeral. He was a great guy and went way too soon, he was only 65. It is going to take a while to get back to a normal routine around here, my wife has taken it very...

Yes, almost everything is now HDMI, even for audio. There are some higher end receivers that will include coax inputs for audio, as that is superior to toslink but almost all the newer stuff is getting rid of the legacy inputs, not only for audio but also for video and just doing HDMI.

I thought I would give an update, for those interested. I have had some family medical problems, BIL with stage 4 cancer and also some medical problems myself, cataract surgery that didn't go well and had to go to a Retina specialists to try and get it fixed. These things have prevented me from...

I know, I am trying to keep everything covered with drop cloths but it will still get everywhere. I have the screen covered to protect it also.

Getting there, almost ready to start mudding in the Sheetrock and patches.

Well I have the room torn up and getting some things accomplished. Her is a pic of it all torn up. I'll keep everyone updated as I progress.

I am bringing my room into modern times, I am upgrading to 4K capability. I now have an Integra DRC-R1.1 surround processor, Panasonic UB820 Blu Ray player, 4 additional speakers mounted in the ceiling and an amplifier to power them, for Atmos soundtracks, an JVC DLA RS540 Projector and I am...

Some of the systems allow you to set the startup volume, instead of just starting at the last level.

The price. Don't fall for the expensive HDMI cable voodoo. Get some well made cables from Mono Price http://www.monoprice.com/category?c_id=102&cp_id=10255 , or Blue Jeans Cable http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/hdmi-cables/hdmi-cable.htm They will perform just as well as the high priced...

You are on the right path but the shape of that room will make it impossible to really make it sound good. You have so many killers in that room, like the huge open area to the right and the big open doorway to the left. The sound traps will really help, just don't expect miracles from the...

With that setup you are never going to get it to do what you want. I would recommend getting a newer H/T receiver that will do HDMI. You can get one very cheaply if you watch the sales, factory refurbs and open box stuff. Then you can hook everything to the Reciever and connect that to your TV.

I well remember those days. I also remember the early days when they were all transmitting on low power during the initial testing. It was very hard to get a good signal.

I'll play. This is my H/T room. I have other TV systems in the rest of the house. Sources and Video Cox Cable Contour TV and Internet Stewart Ultimate 4Way 135-inch 16x9 Grayhawk screen JVC RS20 Projector 3 Classe CAM350 350 watt monoblock amps for front left, right and center speakers 1...

Have you thought about an HDMI to Component cable like this one? http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-538581-HDMI-Cable-5-Feet/dp/B005QWH4QA This cable should work with your receiver.

As recommended stay with HDMI. Toslink has restricted bandwidth and isn't really good for much of anything.

July of 2001, when I finished my H/T and was able to start using it. Dish Network was the source through a JVC DILA projector and an Panamorfic lens to convert the 4:3 projector into a 16:9 image.

You can run about 200 ft with a good signal restorer but they aren't cheap. http://samtechonline.com/spelsohdexwi.html I don't know if you could stretch it to 300 or not. Give Spectrun http://www.spectrumelectronicsolutions.com/ a call and see what they say.

Thanks, it's a 135 inch Stewart Ultimate 4 way screen. When I built the room there wasn't that much wide screen material available, so I wanted to be able to mask off for 4:3. Now I never use the side panels, just the top and bottom masking. Earl

Here are a couple shots of my H/T. I built this room when I built the house in 2001. There have been some changes in some of the electronic equipment over the years but the main room setup is unchanged. Earl
