Hi guys – man I’ve spent some fruitless time on google recently.....
I'm in the planning stages of renovating/extending a 1930s house to move into next year. The whole place will need rewiring, plastering etc so it seems a good time to wire in home cinema connections.
My current system is fairly budget:
§ All-in-one 5.1 Sony DAVDZ210D
§ Samsung 32” LCD (LE32R74BDX 32")
§ Humax Digital Recorder(PVR9200TB)
§ D-Link DSM-520 Wireless HD Media Player – wired connection to home server.
I’ll upgrade this once my finances have recovered from the house move so investing a bit more in the wiring now will future proof a little.
And as I have a soon to walking son I want to get all possible cables hidden and devices out of reach. SO......
· What wires/sockets should I put in for surround sound speakers? - Up on the walls in the four corners? And one ground level for the sub?
· If the TV is going to be on the wall on the chimney breast should I install some cables/sockets so the devices can be in a cabinet to the side away from small hands.
Any advice or suggested reference material would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Ben
