Glad to see your install is progressing - I'm planning on using a similar speaker setup. Be interested in your feedback when you have them all installed. What cable did you pair with the speakers? Have you opted for a sub too?
I'm planning on mounting my tv in a false wall too - have you gone for a cantilever style mount?
Cheers

Thanks. The cables are just standard ones. 200+ strand flat cables for surround speakers, and Maplin 79 strand cable (£26.99 for 20m spindle) for fronts and centre (because I ran out of the flat one).
My subwoofer is KK DXD 808.
The TV mount is just a flat mount. Didn't want the TV to stick out too much.

The final installation is happening today, will post pics soon.
Few problems cropped up today:
1) The TV refuses to switch on. I'll speak to John Lewis next week.
2) LED TV backlight is faulty and needs changing.
3) I've been sent a black projector when I ordered a white one. I'll speak to the dealer what can be done, as I'll have to use the projector until the TV is sorted.

BB I know it might be a big ask but could you host the pictures on imgur? You can then just share a link to the album with us here. Means the forum won't screw your pictures.
I never had any problems with it! Is the mains properly in? And you are switching it on by the side on button, you can see it when you put your head around it?bigboss said:gel said:
Yes gel.
I'll try again tonight.
The home cinema installer is a qualified electrician. We initially thought the fuse of the plug has blown. Changed it, still no joy. We can hear the TV switching on, and switching back off without any picture.

Make sure nothing is on the mains. Yep, definitely check you are switching it on correctly by the side on button.bigboss said:
Thanks gel! I spoke to the electrician, and you're right. The TV is on now!
Thanks!
Doesn't help when you're at work and the electrician / home cinema installer tells you on the phone that the TV isn't switching on!

Yes, it's a massive relief! As I've packed the projector back for collection tomorrow, and the white one will be sent either by the end of this week or next week. At least I've got the TV until then.

Glad to hear the TV's OK!
Very annoying about the projector - hopefully you'll get the replacement sooner rather than later.
Regarding the grilles: have you contacted MA and seen how much a set of replacement grilles would cost?

I don't think the grilles need replacing. If the paint doesn't come off fully, the painter will have to repaint the grille as per MA's instructions.

Hi BB
With Panasonic tv's you have told hold the standby button down on the remote for 5 seconds to get it to initially come on.
That might not be the case as its been on before but worth noting you wont be used to that coming from Pioneer - that click you hear it when you power the board up from the mains - interesting it does that must be a relay of sorts

Thanks ellisdj! The Panasonic looks good! Too early to comment on picture quality, as I've only watched a 2-minute clip.
LED lightstrip all along the ceiling and underneath the cabinets installed today. Curiously, they switch on and change colours when operating my Oppo remote! *unknw*
I've just connected all speakers to the Marantz (7.1.4). It's ridiculously easy to go through the process with Marantz's excellent GUI! Just ran a Pacific Rim clip (without the subwoofer). Initial impressions are very very good.
The floor is going to be re-oiled tomorrow, so haven't moved in the sofas yet. I'll go through the Audyssey calibration process once the room is fully set (hopefully this weekend).

Yup the SR7009 has a fantastic setup. It really is one of the nicest I've ever seen. Other manufacturers should learn from it.
More importantly how is it sounding?
