Hi Mixmo,
It depends on your lifestyle. A dedicated home theatre is a bit of a luxury if you are able to add one. I have 3 kids and was lucky…

I like option 2. The left door would bolt in to the door frame when not needed and the right door being the main access. The wall scones will look…

There's not much better screw/saddle type wall plates out there. I'd use a better connection behind the wall plate - F type screw connection to front PAL connector:

And then add…

It really depends what look you are after for the room. If you want the hidden, more room approach then the ceiling/wall speakers may be the way to go. Speaker/floor…

See Blog link below for mine.

I think the best minimum would be a network point in each room, 4 in the living room and possibly 2-4 in the Study. It would be ideal to have…

Hi Lauz,
I would start by investigating some Home theatre setups/installations like http://www.bigpicturepeople.com.au/store and see what is on offer and suitable for your HT room.
From there you can decide what…

Hi Kenny,
If your having a theatre room directly opposite where the TV is going to be mounted, I would put all the gear in there. Then it is all contained…

Hi Ben,
I think if light entering the room is going to be a constant issue, then a large LED LCD screen (eg. 60-70inch) may suit best. But if you're able…

Definitely go for 7.1 in that size room. Rack can be found at http://www.selby.com.au/ or http://www.4cabling.com.au/

Hi Ugly,
I use a Clipsal 8 out amplifier with cabinet (see my blog link) and it works well and keeps it neat and tidy. I went a bit overboard and…

You could possibly go for some powered outdoor speakers - http://www.radioparts.com.au/product/39814290/studio6aw-6.5-active-outdoor-speaker-white-wintal#.UrImGOKOet8

My suggestion would be to have 2x cat6 and 2x TV(RG6) cable runs to every main room/bedroom and 4x cat6 to the theatre - at the front where the equipment…

http://www.wayfair.com.au/tv-units has a good range to look through.

For the fronts & centre, some decent wall speakers would be suitable and ceiling speakers for the rear. http://www.selby.com.au/electronics/speakers/in-wall-speakers.html
Blu-ray players, new receivers, and most things in the future will use…

Hi Fusilli Jerry,
I think your plan is pretty good. Some things to consider would be having a thick curtain over the window to block out the light and to act…

Hi Shalquin,
yes I would put a large LCD TV on the lower wall with a 5.1 system. 7.1 would be overkill for this room and wasted money spent. Get some…

Hi Sumeet,
The sound bar option is good for a room with limited space but for a new house that is being built with room to move I’d suggest getting a…

Hi Mark,
when it comes to HDMI cables, expensive does not always mean better. I would just go for a couple of cheapish ones. Of the two I used the 9m…

Hi,
Personally I wouldn't worry about putting a raised floor in for this sized room and if you aren't having any other type of chairs in front of your lounge, it's…

Hi Mark,
I would look for a system with a little more versatilty such as these options: , then add a blu-ray player & digital box to it. You'll have to…

Yes, this will be fine. It is best to get the matching speakers across the front stage (Left, centre, right) for that tonal balance and seamless transition across the sound…

Hi wildorchild,
it is very fiddly and limiting. I did play around with it for quite a while to get just the way I liked it layed out on the image…

Hi jtreadwel,
according to my contract the raised floor was $1342.
cheers

Here's my network cabinet and RF/TV points cabinet:
TV Points (RG6 quad core cable) – using powered splitters. One antenna in to 8 outputs x 2 (not all used)
CAT6 Terminations- 5…

I found my pictures from here http://www.tinstudio.com/gallery
Once you register (free) you can download your choice of pictures at high resolution (they are not high res without registering). I then got…

The room dimensions are 4.8m wide and length is 5.4m. The raised floor at the back is 370mm high and 1500mm deep with steps either side.
These are some pre-installation shots…

Here's some pictues of my Home theatre:




Projector: Epson EB-W6 (HD 720p) for now til I upgrade to Epson Full HD 3D, still good picture for now
Speakers: Axiom Speakers…

Definitely use the longer length of the room as the viewing wall. As previously pointed out, it would be better off having the doors on the side towards the screen…
