Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Projector Where do you place center?

WOW! Thanks for the very kind words.

The alcoves will eventually house my DVD collection and assorted nick-nacks. I've got to get some time in the shop to build the shelves...can't stop watching movies long enough!!

The equipment rack is along the side wall, to the rear of the seats.....

The rack opens into a closet that is accessible from the laundry room...easy access to the rear of the equipment was an absolute requirement!!

Great job IDing the Axiom boxes!! They've since been moved to LONG term storage in the garage.

Hello Ke3qz, is that a yamaha receiver I see? What model is it. Just being curious. Thanks, Michael.

Yep. Yamaha HTR-5790.
Originally wanted the RVX-2400 or -1400 but found that the difference between the RVX and HTR series was mainly marketing and fluff.

Very happy with the 5790!

Randy KE3QZ

I too have read that the 5790 is essentially the same as the 1400. Can the 5790 show OSD with component video? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Thanks for your help.

Off hand I can't tell you.
I have my DVD (DVI and component) player and Sat Receiver (Svideo)hooked direct to the projector. The 5790 occupies the composite line for OSD during setup, YPAO, etc.
I'll try to dig up the manual tonight and see what it says about OSD on component.

Randy KE3QZ

Michael, yes it can; see p.56 of the manual, especially "Component OSD".

Randy, that is one SWEEEEEEEAT home theatre you've built for yourself. You should be very proud of it!

Ditto Ajax comments, that's about the nicest I've seen.

Just curious, what are the room dimensions and what are you running for speakers other than the Qs8's?

Cheers, Jag

I appreciate your help John.

Thanks Jag!

The room dimensions are 15'X19'.
We sit about 12.5' from the 100" Carada Brilliant White.
The seats are Lane Majecsitc Theater Seats (which I love!).

The 7.1 speaker suite includes:
Fronts M60Ti
Center VP150
Side Surrounds QS8 (wall mounted)
Rear Surrounds M2i (ceiling mounted)
Sub HSU STF-3

Here's the floor plan...

We added a third chair but other than that the floor plan is fairly accurate.

Thanks again for the kind words!!

Randy KE3QZ

Wow, really, really nice. I like how the speakers disappear against the black background; I know my wife would LOVE that.
For some time now I was searching on the net a nice way to disguise my black m60s. Definitely your HT sold me on the idea of getting a projector instead of one of those DLP TVs. Thanks for posting the pics
