Home Theater fanatics, post pics for all to see!!!

I used one of these in a large SDS hammer drill.

With that curved end its gotta shake pretty good while cutting away.... or did they balance it somehow?

[Craig Tucker]

You use it in hammer action only. It does not rotate.

My talents lie in electronics, not in piping and wall grout</yanking random crap out of my head from passing glances at HGTV>.

Ok, here's my setup. The TV is going to become my bedroom TV as soon as I move out, which is soon, and the home theater will have a new 50" or so instead(for the living area). The cabinet is also temporary and will not be going with me to my new place. The speakers are a mix of brands and at the moment I don't have a sub since my two front speakers are extrememly powerful...believe me. The surround speakers match my center speaker and receive their signal via a wireless audio transmitter sitting on top of my cabinet next to the tv. There's also a dvd player under the xbox which got cut out of the picture.

Looks like your coaster chucker chucked one out onto the floor Gee. Musta been a Princo

How do you like that M$ wireless? I heard they're getting out of the biz, so prices are getting pretty low.

[stiltman]

dang I hate those funky office chairs....who the heck can you sit in it for more than a couple of minutes?

[ViRaL1]

I used to have one of those and I loved it. Takes some getting used to though, and you have to make sure you've got it set just right. Although I'd kill to get back the Aeron I had at my old job.

I saw one of those "ergonomically correct" office chairs. It looked like a marital aid.

Seriously, you had to approach the thing and lean forward, leaning into the thing. When in the damn thing you looked like a bear cub humping a basketball. No way, no how. Give me "ole backbreaker" any day

You know, if that's your center channel speaker on top of that gigantic TV we need to talk...

[pyrate83]

How big is that TV anyway? I'd say 60" but that's probably not right.

[DVD_Ripper]

Here's mine:

36" Old Toshiba
Samsung POS DVD
Sony 5 disc CD changer
Kenwood Surround Sound Recvr
JVC 5 speaker Plus sub set up
POS VCR
(Plus one, low to the ground, bear chair )

Out of curiosity... my receiver is a Dolby Surround Sound Receiver... not DTS... when I play back DTS only DVD's does my DVD player / Receiver 'step the sound down' so it plays appropriately on my older receiver?

[DVD_Ripper]

See boys... spend 18 years in school (after high school), get that degree in medicine, and you too can buy awesome shit like this all day long.



At Enstg8er

those are my albums (lp's, records, vinyl, 33's...). back from the days when vinyl didn't mean sheep! yes, i still listen to them.

One winter when we had a bad cold snap I spent a few weeks dumping all my LP's over to CD (goes back about 6-8 years ago) -- worked good... I just connected LP to mixer and mixer to PC Line In Jack.... a few hundred wav's later I was done. Turntable went to dumpster.

(I didn't have any room in my TV cabinet so I had to spend the time in conversion or go out and buy all those albums again )

yes, as does mine.......

[flaninacupboard]

hmm, you shouldn't have any DTS -only- DVD's, the spec requires at least one DD or PCM track for NTSC and one DD, PCM or MP2 track for PAL.....

good guess 61".Where the hell am i supposed to put the center speaker?

[flaninacupboard]

Supposed to be behind the screen, or at best tucked underneath it. TV manufacturers should take thaty into account when designing stands, but they don't

All I was saying was that if that is your center channel on top of the tv it looks small because of how huge the TV is...that's all.
