Tried to keep much of the HT equipment out of sight, for an uncluttered living room ambience.

Somehow the 55" Sony W904 TV looks way smaller. Even the tiny Bowers & Wilkins MT speakers don't help in this impression. Hidden inside that cabinet are the Marantz 6008 receiver, the Zotac Zbox Nano HTPC, and the reason why I can still remote-control the electronics with the opaque cabinet doors closed -- the Harmony Hub system control.

In movie mode, a motorized 84" Elite Screens projection screen rolls down.

Here's a view of the back with the Epson 8350 projector and the Bowers & Wilkins MT surrounds.

No more remote clutter. This handy Harmony remote controls everything. Lamp not included. :)

And this iPad-based remote is a great way to browse the movie library even without disrupting what's currently playing.

Possibly the most appreciated "component" by guests is the chillax-mode comfy recliner. And to keep you awake while relaxing, there's an espresso bar just behind.
Thanks for viewing my post.

Does the AC which is floor-mounted affect it's performance as opposed to getting it up the wall?

pero hindi ba umiinit yung Marantz receiver pag nasa loob ng cabinet? av receivers need ventilation.

That AC came with the condo unit, and it is cartridge/indoor type designed to be low on the floor, so i didnt have other options. The condo building was designed for this type of AC, so i couldnt replace it with quieter split-type. I just use an air circulator and it works well with this AC.

nice! you even have a Dyson bladeless fan. :D btw, I'd recommend changing your speakers to a wallmounted LCR like a Paradigm Millenia or a GoldenEar SuperSat for a less-cluttered look. :)

i couldn't tell, but is there an IR blaster outside the cabinet to control the TV? Planning to get the hub as well - now I know who to ask if I have questions during setup :)

nice clean setup!

Yes it's actually there in the picture but it is so small and inconspicuous that nobody notices. It also controls the projector across the room. Happy to help you when you get your Hub.

Sir may I ask what brand is your floor type aircon? Where did uou purchase it? Thanks
It just came with the condo unit, so I guess the developer sourced it directly from distributor. It's a Chinese brand called "Chigo". I find it noisy, though, so I would have preferred split-type if I had a choice.
