    Hi John,
    I have done a bit of homework on what I am thinking of getting. I spoke to Nicola a few weeks ago about buying a projector and she told me you are the man to talk to, I am thinking of putting the following together and would like your opinion.
    JVC X3 projector. Emitter and 4 prs of glasses
    Denon AVR 2311 to replace the 2309 I got from you.
    Beamax ceiling screen
    Sony BDP 770/780 when released.
    I have done the figures based on the UK prices so I intend to put this together piece by piece over the next few months.

    Rednik,

    apologies for the delay getting back to you.

    The DLA X3 is £3499.95 and comes with 2 pairs of the glasses (I'll have to check the price of the additional glasses for you).

    The AVR2311 is now down to a really bonkers £489.95 - this is only because Richer Sounds in England are delisting the AVR2311 and are clearing their ex-demo stocks however we have loads available BNIB (Brand new boxed).

    The Sony BR I dont have info on yet, and unfortunately we don't stock the Beaumax screen - but I would say to have a look at the Denon DBP1611UD or the Cambridge Audio 650BD http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Cambridge-Audio-Azur-650BD/ which are amazing Blu Ray players .

    Keep me posted if I can assist,

    ATVB,

    John Mc & Crew

    If im right though in order for 3D it needs to be hooked up to a computer with a 3D graphics card. You cant just hook up a sky box / PS3 to it and 3D works....

    Stephen,

    I have not had a play with one but I'm pretty sure you can just connect it to a 3D 1.4 ready Blu-Ray and it will work once yuo have the emmitter & glasses.

    From JVC direct:


    For 3D content, the JVC X3 3D projector includes HDMI 1.4a inputs and supports Frame Packing (Blu-ray), Side-by-Side (broadcast) and Above-Below 3D transmissions. An external 3D Signal Emitter (PK-EM1) synchronises the projected image with JVC’s Active Shutter 3D Glasses (PK-AG1). The external 3D signal emitter ensures reliable signal transmission to the 3D glasses for a superior 3D experience, no matter what type of screen is used or how the home theatre has been configured

    But as ever I stand to be corrected!

    Keep me posted,

    ATVB,

    John thanks for the reply. You gave me a great deal on the 2309 so I will take the 2311 for starters. As I said I will do this piece by piece, if you can also get me a JVC PK-EM1 I will make these the first purchase. With regards to the blu ray player I am holding off for the new sony players to arrive so no rush on these but when they become available I will give you a shout for one.

    What are your own recommendations on screens?. I haven't decided yet on size so maybe a bit of advice would be welcome. I have checked the prices for the glasses and these are crazy but I have found some good info over at the AV forum.

    Collected the 2311 in Belfast today with thanks to Matt in the shop. John I will order the X3 from you in March and as mentioned I will need some advice if you can assist at all with positioning of the projector and screen.

    Hi Rednik.

    No problem with the help on the positioning and thanks for buying the AVR2311 from us, it's such a deal !

    Give us a shout closer to the time on the projector and we can advise on the screen positioning.
