Woot! you're on a great start bro.
This looks like a great theater in the making ;D
Cable management is really a pain if you do not make a dedicated HT from scratch but it's not impossible.
Stapling the wires on corners help a lot. Just make sure not to staple them too tight.
Welcome to the gallery :)

sir congrats and welcome to the gallery :)

@jao
Thanks!
@juan
Can you staple them on a Cement Wall?
i'll clean up the cables once i am done adding the Composite Cable, unfortunately my Receiver does not do "Analog-to-Digital" Conversion...
@ All
Basically a Composite Cable is just 3 RCA Cables?? i need a 10 Meter cable for my PJ... any thoughts where to secure one?

Welcome sir on your way to HT and audio nirvana! Composite video cable is just one RCA cable usually plugged in the yellow input of your display. The 3 RCA cables (RGB) is called Component Video cable. You can buy them in any mall hardware store like Ace, Tru value or Handyman. If you want the more expensive branded ones, there are the various AV shops such as SnS. If the cables you bought are still lacking in length, you can connect 2 cables using a male-female RCA connector.
Btw, I see that you still don't have a subwoofer. It is a must in any HT set-up. I suggest go S-V-S! (http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif)

Ang bilis magkulam si Doc Mel ah ;D ;D
@airnolds
Basically don't use a staple gun.
Just use the nail shaped like a staple (don't really know what its called)
And hammer it so that may space pa yung wire to move.
-
Nice Setup! :o Congrats and Welcome to the Gallery! ;D

@Nerve
I see, but i need a 10 Meter Component Cable.. I'm planning on purchasing 4 [3meter] Cables and just connect them.. BUT the sales lady in ACE told me that there might be some Signal Loss cause of the connectors..
Any Inputs?
@audio & juancho
Thanks! will browse through Ace again tomorrow!

Long video cables really can cause signal loss compared to short ones. I have tried connecting 2 3 meter component video cables and the signal loss isn't significant though. Seems like your PJ and source is really far. Maybe you can try relocating your source to a location nearer the PJ. If this is not feasible, try Electronics Boutique or other AV specialty shops if they have those long 50 foot cables. If not, you might have to order them online from Monoprice. For long video cables, I suggest you get the thicker RG-6 cable to minimize signal loss.
50ft (RG-6/U) CL2 Premium 5-RCA Component Video/Audio Coaxial Cable (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023501&p_id=2776&seq=1&format=2)
You can contact Oreoshake or TOY01 to order it for you and you just have to pay him shipping charges.

@nerve
i see, well the first Location of the sources are really on the Rack on the Left Side [the one with the Remote & Car Figures] will have to consider these if i get to purchase the 40ft cable of sir revskie.
@XXXyzledge
Thanks!
@juancho
Major Major Thanks! lol... will contact him now...
@ All

-
Congratz Sir!.. Welcome po sa Gallery...

-
@paudman
Thanks!
@bullet
Thanks!, first priority is the Sub..then Speaker Upgrade that will match with the "woody" design of our house..still looking for some advice for the Sub..9k budget..

haha, I'm so happy i took the time to review/google the PJ vs LCD.... was really close to buying a 42" LCD TV...
Too bad i have to postpone my Ps3 because i want to complete and match all my speakers first..[No Marvel vs Capcom 3 on Feb.15...(T_T)]

*Still having a problem with Cable Management! haha
-
ayoss epekto ng promotion ;D
congrats ;)
-
congrats bro sa setup and new gears...

I suggest you put a black felt frame around the screen. It will substantially improve the perceived contrast ratio. In fact, the whole wall behind the screen should preferably be painted a dark color but of course, mahirap ang WAF. ;D
-
Congrats bro and welcome to the gallery. :)
-
@onkyo
haha, dyan napunta ang OT & Night Diff ko.
@street
i'll look into the Black Felt Frame, as for painting the whole wall black, this would not be possible since this "Room" is not technically in a room but in an open spaced area connecting to the kitchen/door/ent. room. ^_^
@carlito
Thanks!
