I have that exact same TV stand in black. Planning on moving it though, it just takes up too much room where it is unfortunately:( I'll be sure to post a picture of my own setup when I upgrade to some surround sound.

Recently moved into my new house and inspired by other members setup's, I decided to set it up for AV, Audio and networking. I got the builder to run cat6 to every room, speaker cable for ceiling speakers which I plan to use for Multiroom Audio and Coax.

Everything is run back to a central location where I have a cabinet and patch panels. Some of the runs are short enough for hdmi-hdmi, where they're longer, I'll do it over cat6 with hdmi-cat6 baluns.

The builder had no experience of this so I pretty much planned it out but inevitably when I moved in, realised I put some of the cables in wrong locations. Overall though, I was pretty happy with the results.

I have a couple of MC's which I will use to play my media library using xbmc and going to use casatunes pci card with amp and wall controllers and iphone to control the multiroom audio.

Some pics below of my setup, all comments/suggestions welcome.

oc8,

I've edited your post to remove the embedded pictures - these files are too large and are disrupting the loading of the page on the forum. I've left the links in place with a suitable warning so that people can click them if they want.

Cheers Ritz, my bad, first time posting pics;)

HiYa oc8,
Just about to do the same, running a mac / media player and dvd, sat, tv etc. Thinking of the CAT 6 route with baluns do you have any tips? Do the baluns drop the quality versus a direct connection, did you do HDMI to cat 6 to HDMI or HDMI with repeaters?

Thanks for any advice.

The Ritz

tweeky,

This thread is really just for showing pictures etc, it's not fair to others to turn into a specific discussion - feel free to start a separate thread looking for advice about your query, there a re a number of threads about multi-room about which might help you.

Thanks,


Ritz.

Ritz,

Could you link threads as it's hard to find an Irish forum/thread that deals with all this, the forums are usually uk/us centic.

Only came across this thread looking for ideas for our new setup.

Heres the setup as it is now:





Samsung UE46B600
Sky HD
Pioneer VSX-D814 Receiver - Runs Wharfedale centre, JBL fronts and woofer and philips rears.
Pioneer DV-868AVi HDMI SD DVD player
Joytech Control Center 540C (only used as ethernet switch and optical switch)
Xbox Super Elite + HD-DVD (i know, i know!)
PS3 160gb (+PS2 wired up in the drawer)
Wii + 120gb HDD w/USB loader

The Sky box runs to a HDMI splitter to the bedroom but i'm adding a 4x2 matrix in the coming days along with our new units. All the other hardware works well so they aren't changing.

Just have this lot to work through now thanks to IKEA! Updated pics soon

oc8,

I'm a little puzzled by your request, as there are currently three or four threads about multi-room on the front page of this forum (i.e. the Home Entertainment DIY forum). If you have a particular query which is not presently being discussed or you wish to give a detailed account of your own set up as a helpful gesture to other users, you'd be most welcome to open a new thread of your own in this (i.e. the DIY) forum.



Cheers,

Ritz.
