Hi All,
My father is looking at a Home Cinema system and I'm just looking for some advice that I could pass on to him.
He's looking at a InFocus In76 projector (he was looking at it in Harvey Normans for 2,500 - found the same one on PixMania.com for 1,912. huge difference in price). I've checked on the web and it seems to be getting good reviews.
My question relates more to the rest of the setup. What sort of cables does he require or should he getting to try to maximise the system. Can anyone recommmend a decent sound system etc... His plan is to hang the projector from the ceiling but in relation to hooking up DVD players or SKy for that matter, is there a console that these can all be hooked up too which is connected to the projector via a single cable etc. sorry for the long message, I just don't want to see him waste his money on a great projector and then not be using it to it's potential.
Thanks in advance
Mahons
Thanks MonsieurBond,
We were looking at Harman Kardon last night again in Harveys. 1400 for Amp, DVD and 5.1 Speakers (Seems a lot to me but dad keeps falling for the sales pitch, I have to keep a close eye on him). Bringing him in to Peats on Saturday. I'll see what i can find on the brands you mentioned.
Is there any shops that you can recommend to me? As you can gather I'm a novice at this.
Thanks
Hi MonsieurBond,
Went to peats today and have finally settled on the following spec. Read more into the Harman Kardon, i didn't have the model number until this afternoon. It was the AVR 140 - Entry level and seemed expensive for what it is compared to other items
Projector: Panasonic PTAX100 -(€1,468 - 500 cheaper then peats)
Amp: Yamaha DSPAX759 - (€630 - Peats (Haven't found cheaper yet!), 699 in Harveys) http://www.hifix.co.uk/sku.lasso?YAMAHA-DSPAX759&item=e6fae6354d552b1537e9cd182dee608f
Speakers - KEF KHT2005.2 - (€845 - 50 Euro cheaper then Peats and updated model) [broken link removed]
All together, it works out 244 euro more then Harvey Norman (Price above was wrong - 2699 for IN76 and not 2,500) wanted to charge me just for the InFocus IN76 Projector.
I appreciate any comments on the above spec.
Thanks
Think I found a good un
Pioneer VSX2016 - [broken link removed]
Is getting great reviews on cnet.com and avforums.
Need to find it and listen to it.
will keep you informed.
