  • A Home Theatre Projector

    Posted by admin on February 22nd, 2010 and filed under Wireless home theatre | 2 Comments »

    The Home Theatre Projector has some handy features compared to the older technology of Giant Screen Plasma or rear projection systems. Cost alone is worth considering. A ‘Big Screen’, whether Plasma, LCD or Rear Projection can easily cost thousands of dollars, the larger, the higher cost. Even at 6 or 7 thousand dollars you may be restricted to 70 inch diagonal width.
    A Home Theatre Projector System which projects images up to 120 inches is affordable at starting prices under $1500.
    New generation of projectors are compact and light. New projector technologies such as LCD projectors or DLP projectors which utilize compact digital image chips which have brighter light output than CRT technologies. Now there’s no need to completely see your movie in total darkness. A dimly lit room will do just as fine.

    Remember having to arrange a party at your house for ‘The Big Game’ if you owned a ‘Big Screen’. Now with a Projector, there’s no need to rush somewhere, or the same spot every week, you can move the party around sort of sharing the load. Think of having the ‘Super Bowl Party’ or other event at a venue that can be picked by the size of the group invited instead of the location of the ‘Big Screen’. You could even move to rented space if you expected a large enough showing.
    Now imagine the same scenario with an online presentation, or Power Point Presentation. See, this is starting to show some possibilities.

    You can setup on a table. It’s also light enough that it could be ceiling mounted without extra bracing as long as you mount to an upper floor joist or rafter.

    Don’t tell anyone I said this, but this is also a possibility when you go on vacation, although if camping some may feel the ‘Big Screen’ is inappropriate. I know someone that might shoot me if I suggested camping with any form of TV.

    A wide range of connectivity options is available. Imagine your PC display that large. Games become more engrossing or you can run your digital photos as the ultimate slide show.

    For Display output you can use an actual projection screen or just a clean wall.

    If you think about your normal existing Entertainment System, most of the hardware is in the front of the viewer. To have some of your equipment in a different location required cabling. Some surround installations run cables under the floor or carpet for speakers. You would think that possibly a projector would require something similar.
    Nowadays though we have all in one home theatre with speakers and DVD player thrown in together in one unit. There are also wireless options, wireless projectors and wireless speaker systems. A wireless setup actually allows you to have most of the hardware in a completely different room from the ‘Viewing Enclosure’.

    Some have even gone to the point of building an acoustically designed, sound proof viewing room with theatre seating and the whole deal. Modern Hardware allows for the ‘Theatre Experience’ without the noise and sticky floors. All of this depends on your budget of course. My budget stops short of the acoustically perfect viewing room. You are allowed to make your own choices.

    whats better for home theatre system cable/wireless?

    Posted by admin on January 22nd, 2010 and filed under Wireless home theatre | 2 Comments »


    I think that having straight cable is preferred, at least in my opinion. You have less problems of frequency interference running to your surround speakers, don’t have to worry about battery, if it has that capability, or looking for a power supply outlet.

    What are the best wireless headphones on the market that would go great with a decent home theatre system?

    Posted by admin on January 19th, 2010 and filed under Wireless home theatre | 2 Comments »

    If you could,… please be precise and provide a link if possible.

    I’m looking for a top of the line set of wireless headphones (price doesn’t matter) with the least amount of interference. All the ones I’ve had get "hiss" and "crackling" in them and a few have actually had telephone conversations heard on them.

    Thanks

    I agree with the previous person who said that you should try Infrared.

    The reason you’re hearing distortion and telephone calls is because those cheaper brand headphones utilize the 900MHz and 2.4Ghz band that telephones use. Honestly, you would think that they’d have come up with a different frequency to use other than one where you KNOW that there’s going to be possible interference.

    Infrared eliminates that! Completely!!

    True, you have to be in the same room and in direct sight of the transmitter,…. but if you’re watching a movie or truly enjoying a song and relaxing…. you shouldn’t be wandering all over the place anyways. Right? :-)

    Try these. Not ridiculously expensive,… but a little. Judging from the reviews they’re well worth it though.

    Enjoy!

    is there a way to make my messy home theater wireless?

    No, there are no completely wireless setups, yet, although supposedly they are on the way with high end TVs + a transmission box with an Intel chip to have wireless (60hz?) transmission ability by next Xmas. Realistically, don’t hold your breath for a reasonably priced system in the short run. Even the advertised ‘wireless’ speakers have to have an A/C connection.

    I want to buy a home theatre…..do they make them with wireless speakers?

    Posted by admin on January 11th, 2010 and filed under Wireless home theatre | 5 Comments »

    I am trying find one, but would like to find one that has wireless speakers or is that possible? I just dont want to trip on the wires. If so, where can I purchase one? Is it better with or with out a DVD player in it?
    Should the home systems be the same make as the TV?

    I would get a wired system, WITHOUT a DVD player. Usually they increase the price of the DVD and since the price dropped dramatically on DVD players in the last year, choose one you really want. The "bundled" or "home theater in a box" systems are easy to buy, but rarely stack up against a standard system.

    Also, a wired system is more secure and will always sound perfect, and you can add wireless adapters for an extra speaker set. It uses the headphone or rca audio out jacks, and converts to a wireless set of speakers, check the source link for a set.

    Beware, wireless speakers can be affected by power lines, walls, various other electronic frequencies, and usually are very touchy getting a signal.

    Here’s the wireless speaker set from Best Buy:

    I am looking for a wireless home theater w/ surround sound. Any suggestions?

    I would check around places like a pawn shop
    That’s where I got mine and it was newer at 1/2 the price and it works great!

    Where in Australia can I buy a Samsung Wireless Pack for my Samsung Wireless Home Theater?

    Posted by admin on January 1st, 2010 and filed under Wireless home theatre | 1 Comment »


    Best I can offer is for you to contact your Samsung dealer, or go on-line with Samsung – Australia at www.Samsung.com/au/.
    However, you might also try posting this in International Answers – Australia, where you will be talking directly to your mates living there. I suggest giving the model number you have.
    Most who post here are North Americans and wouldn’t have a clue about Australia. Hell, from some of the questions and answers here, I wouldn’t be surprised if half thought it was a country in Europe. Good luck.

    samsung wireless home cinema auxilary compatible dj turntables and mixer??

    Posted by admin on December 28th, 2009 and filed under Wireless home theatre | 2 Comments »

    i have a 500watt 5.1 samsung wireless dvd home theatre. using the auxilary would i be able to run my dj set up through these speakers?? please help!!!

    Yes, just be careful with how loud you play the music or speak into a microphone when connected to your home theater. Professional sound systems are made to play loud and take some abuse. If the sound is distorted, turn it down. Distrortion will blow your speakers. Have fun!

    You can buy a Sonos system for $1000+ or you can buy the Logitec system for $249. Both have been given favorable reviews. Best Buy with a Magnolia Home Theater inside will carry both systems.

    I own the Sonos system and couldn’t be happier. My neighbor bought the Logitec system for his son and constantly reminds me that I spent 5 times more than he did!
