WhiteknightOZ,

You don't show any projector and screen setup in your renders.Are you planninig on using a projector as well as the plasma?..If so, then you will be able to monitor your settings through the projector..In which case, you can then run either component, DVI or HDMI from the AVR to the projector..

Then you can run component for the plasma...Component is an improvement over S-Video..

Also, is there any reason why you have your surround speakers at the back of the room?
Normally with a 6.1 system surrounds are on the side walls, slightly behind the seated position, with the centre back only on the back wall..

Prof,

I currently have a projector mounted up the back of the room near the rear centre channel but was going to remove it when the plasma was mounted but I like your thinking.. I may leave it there and get a drop down screen that would drop down in front of the plamsa.

As for the positioning of the rear surrounds, I never knew that they should be near the seating position, I thought they had to be at the rear... So if i move them to be just behind the seating position should I have them maounted high up on the wall or use the current stands that would have the drivers around ear height when seated.

I had another idea, I was going to mount the audio gear on a wall rack thus enabling the lounges to be moved back and centred in the room. the only downfall is I am getting further away from the screen so will ahve to see how it looks before I do this..

I love this, I am actually making progress !!
