Excellent video
Love the vid bro! Hey- sounds like maybe your audio gain is a bit high and clipping. Are you having to jack your audio way down in post?
Friends don’t let friends buy sony. Other than that, good job.
Thank you for your time like the video i got a lote of info out of it 🙂
As always fantastic videos. Great channel with great DIY projects.
Good cheap projector you can get it cheap at alibaba took me ages to figure that out
Love it!!!
Monoprice sells one of the best affordable 5.1 speaker systems (around $200) for the whole set. You’ll need to add an a/v receiver.
I dont prefer wall mount speakers. I prefer to fix them on stand. They must form a circle.
There is so much uneducated bullshit in this video…
Dude, is that a confederate flag pillow on your sofa?
easy with a dry wall, but in Europe we mostly have concrete walls 🙁
great video but what recliner do you have? it looks super comfortable!
Buy a 4K compatible amp with a full HD projector… 😂😂
Hey, this projector is available at local Walmart $270, thanks.im planning on getting one for my home theater room, thanks.
Thank you for the video. Very informative, practical and simple.
Good video 🙂
I want to do so bad
i am interested in UST projectors, specifically the Xiaomi ones, any thoughts on those?
Thumbnail says “under $500”… title says “starting at $500”. Go back to school. Thumbs down, no point in clicking play.
What is your view re very short throw 4K projectors?
Why waste money on brand new components when you could get so much better on the used market for not alot of money! Those soundbar setups are shite… 😝😝👎👎
Great video! I’m just curious, if Ethernet is transferring data at 1Gbps, how can it transfer the 4K 60hz image along with all the sound data to go with it when you need a high speed hdmi cable to do that which I believe start at 18Gbps? Am I missing something? If you or any viewers are able to answer that question that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
That infared transmitter was pretty sweet. I’ve never seen anything like that. I e got a functional, but unfinished, theater room I’ve been working on for years. It’s painted, got equipment, just needs polishing up (shelves, hide the wires, hang the tv, etc). Good video and thanks for the tips.
$125 – RX-A660
$180 – 3x Polk T15 (5.25 in driver)
$40 – CSI Center Channel (dual 4.5 in drivers)
$40 – PSW-505 (12 inch powered Polk sub)
$20 – YST-SW012 (8 in powered Yamaha sub)
$500 – Epson 2040 (1080p, 35000:1, 3D)
$50 – screen
$955 full HD 3D 35000:1 contrast 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos/DTS:X and up-mixing capable system
My point: Buy used from people who don’t know the value of their components.
How did you handle the heat from the receiver in the closet? I would love to do this, but my receiver, htpc, and other components generate too much heat for a non ventilated closet.
Very helpful video. Do you have specs for 5.2.1set up as well?
Great video but does the v630 projector support HDCP?
Sold bunch on projectors on mercari
All you need is a 2500 or higher lumens to get a clear picture
I would love to see an episode on options for “hidden” living room projector/screen setups that can work with an existing tv. I’ve been trying to come up with an elegant solution for movie nights, where the projector screen works in front of an existing wall mounted tv, and the projector’s wiring/mounting is fairly easy (I have concrete ceilings/in condo which makes things interesting). Or, an elegant short throw setup.
Great video!…very informative.

I have a Yamaha RX-V665 receiver that the HDMI output stopped working. Would I be able to wire in the OREI High Speed Switcher to save my receiver and still have surround sound?
