<Under Construction>
Features Committed to 2.1.1 (Gold):
1. Logitech Harmony remote working
- Battery recieved.. too lbusy to fiddle with it yet

2. CLEAN ROOM...

Features under development for Q1 2012:
1. Ipad 2 + Laptop DLNA to tv and reciever simultaneously - Current research says.. screw it.. just DLNA to the HTPC.... grrr...

Features being researched for 2012-2013:
1. Bi-amp FS but still maintain 5.1/5.2 setup
- did some research, the Onkyo recievers are meant only for Passive Bi-Amping.. Whose "real" world benefits are minimal unless it bypass the speakers cross-overs and bunch of other complex topics.. will do this in very far future.

2. New bed
-finding good frame and mattres

3. Carpet/Rug or flooring for room
- Searching for good ideas

4. NAS/SAN for centralized storage for all devices
- Might not push thru with this, want to reduce total power consumption of room

5. Cover/Pillows for Sofa
- Searching for good ideas

6. New Table
- Searching for good ideas

7. Extra Sub for 5.2 setup
- Need to figure out feasibility of pairing a different model + if have viable benefit

8. Repaint room
- Finding "free" Interior decorator

9. Find proper location/placement for side/rear speaker
- Not sure yet how to research this

*Current Stable setup*
Version 2.1 (Beta) (Jan 2012)

Retired Samsung 32inch TV
Add LG 55LW6500
Retired PS 2
behind the scenes temporary network cabling
Gradual retirement of xbox 360

Version 2.0 (Alpha) (Nov 2011)

Noise Reduction to approx. 30+ db max.
CPU Temp. went up to max 60 degrees C, cause of 65 TDP raised to 95
Significantly more performance
10+ sec boot time

Lowered room power consumption
Network Capable
Much Easier to firmware upgrade
Faster switching between sources

Less Noise
Lower Temp
More performance

Closer to "Theater" feel
A hell of a lot more comfy

crap sorry for late reply...

floor stand it came with the speakers and its an obselete model by now.. so its gonna be hard to find them

Im not an audiophile pro so im not sure how to explain it, but id say its better for music.. if i remember right "warm" is better for music.. not sure whats the proper adjective to use..

Set ko siya na-bili, tapos closing/moving sale siya.. kaya medyo mura kuha ko.. mga 42k all-covered.

Pero depending sa model, some solo only.. other expandable. yung sa akin i thin pwede.. bili-lang ng "center" type

sir ano ibig sabihin nung "center" type? you mean yung nasa pagitan ng kada isang recliner seat na may cup holder? thanks ulit

ahh.. 4 na different "parts" yung sofa

Left Hand rest
Right Hand rest
center/No hand rest
divider/Cup holder

so kung 2 seater gagawin mo.. magiging..
Left Hand rest -> Cup Holder -> Right Hand rest

tapos kung expand ka.. add cup holder and no hand rest sa gitna

gets? :p

pero ito yung sa model ko.. sa alam ko hindi common itong mga expandable na home theater seats.

Hi aaron,

dalawa yung Omni 1500w ko.

1. left side Omni 1500w:
a. AVR
b. PS3
c. xbox
d. HTPC

2. Right side Omni 1500w:
a. TV
b. Sub woofer
c. charging of any device

kung bukas at full power yung mga devices sa left side.. baka sumuko si AVR.. never sila sabay bukas at si AVR.. never ko todo full volume kaya safe.

ano po equipment plano niyo kabit sa setup niyo?

[dcw]aaron · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 07, 2012 at 05:58 PM »

thanks sir! I am planning to buy kasi 1500w rin na Omni at eto mga gears na ikakabit:
tv (51 plasma)
ps3 slim
bd player
nmt
dvd player
htib (planning to change this to avr-speaker with active sub setup)

hmm.. bakit may BD player and Ps3 kayo?

what's "nmt" hehe?

Plasma tv (51") - ano model?

Ps3 slim - check your wattage here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_hardware#Form_and_power_consumption

BD player - what model? unless its an Oppo or similliar specialized model.. i'd suggest you stick to ps3 for space and power savings

DLNA-NAS - what model?

dvd player - check model and specs.. i suggest retire.. use BD player or ps3

Avr- malaki max. wattage nila pero normally di natin na-abutan yan unless full blast ka sa volume
whta model you plan to get?

Active Sub - malaki din ito, What model you plan to get?

edit: ok i just figured out what nmt- its basically a DLNA enabled NAS.

[dcw]aaron · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 08, 2012 at 02:18 PM »

here's what i found sa net: (these are max values)
samsung 51 plasma 3dtv - 290w (max) - PS51D491 model
Sony PS3 - 250W - 120gb slim (will be used for gaming and 3d bluray only)
Samsung Bluray - 19w - BD-D5100 (for non 3d blurays)
Kaiboer with hdd - 6.1W - NMT (network media tank)

bale i'll be getting the 1500w first then pagnaka avr-speaker setup na dagdag nalang siguro ako ng 500w para sa tv and yung mga di masyado malakas humigop ng wattage..

hmm..
AVR are about 600-1+k wattage depending on model
subs are 400 and up

If the models you are getting have wattage close to mine, you might want to get a 1000w model and put tv + subs on that AVR.. same as what i did :p

[dcw]aaron · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 08, 2012 at 11:36 PM »

thanks for your input sir..anyways i'll be getting the 1500w first..pinag iipunan ko pa rin ngayong ang pang av receiver-speaker/sub setup eh..we'll see nalang ano kukunin kong model by that time..baka around 1000-1500w na rin siguro depende sa budget and para malaki-laki pa ang allowance sa wattage..
