 I don't know what they do...that's why I want them to do the installation. The manual for the Onkyo is 95 pages long; they talk in initials. I have no idea what all these initials stand for, and I guess I'm a little gunshy. I thought if I had the speakers mounted on the walls, etc., and the speaker cable run, and all the cables ready to go, maybe they could be out of there in the first 1/2 hour.
If anyone lives around the Carson City, Nevada area, I could use some help......
Thanks to you Guys for your help already. |
If I understand correctly (after reading your first post)... they'll be installing your Onkyo receiver, your projector and the screen; and later on the Blueray player???
If you do the wiring and speaker installation ... you'll be doing half of their work, so, if you're willing to do that; I'm sure you can do the rest by yourself and save some money for movies
I live in Fontana (about 2 1/2 hours, but you got me in a bad time ... or I could just drive there and help you, then keep giong to Las Vegas for some fun
)
Don't worry about the 95 page manual on the Onkyo (we rarely read them) ... the hook up seems as a hard task, but believe me is easy than it looks; after you place the speakers is just a matter of connecting them to the receiver, then the autocalibration (is a feature on the receiver to adjust all speakers so the they sound the same and not one louder than the other), same goes to hook up the projector ... if you're a handy person (no need to be a carpenter) just able to use the basic tools and you're okay
I suggest you to start a thread on the design/construction area ... you can post a sketch of the room, dimensions, equipment you're planning on using ... even better if you have pictures; and you'll get a lot of suggestions to hook up the system yourself.
How did you determined the speaker placement, you mentioned that you want to do it before the geeks shows up??? ...
But that's just my suggestion
EDIT: Sorry I confused Henderson with Carson City ... I saw the map, you're near Reno not Las Vegas (I should have looked first).
