Ten days to get! Entry-level home theater toss experience

At the end of 2010, he accidentally listened to a friend and mentioned Zhang Aunt (when it had not been so kindly called at that time), and then he looked at it. The first thing that catches the eye is WordPress's default template style, which allows the owner to instantly give a proper bad review on the UI. Then I looked at Aunt Zhang’s offer, with two or three hundred headsets, one or two hundred schoolbags, dozens of pieces of weight scales, and lingerie underwear. This kind of recommendation level stays in the realm of life shopping. Okay, but the lord wants to lose, right? In this way, the first fate with Zhang Aunt only lasted for twenty minutes.

In the twinkling of an eye, four or five years have passed and the owner has come from Penn to the way of Penn Four. Aunt Zhang gradually began to recommend various prodigals. In the beginning of the year, he planned to buy a piece of table for Laozhang to make a gift. He asked him to dress up casually, and suddenly he remembered Aunt Zhang. He turned over the recommendation of the mechanical watch and decided to use JA Haitao MOA08692 (he was always bold enough) without taxes. + Shipping costs 9074 softcoins. Compared to the best offer, the price is two or three hundred, but it's also worth it! The domestic public price must be twenty thousand seven!

This is the goods:

Since then, the Lord has actually invested in the arms of Aunt Zhang, and she has transformed herself into unfriendly days. Sophie III, who is currently working on this article, is one of them.

---------------------------------------- slightly gimmick -------- -----------------------------

Pulling away, ah... But those above are true feelings of the Lord... Just want to say it. If the editor gave it to you, you can see it.

The book is connected to the above, when the savior unwittingly brushed an article about home theater recommendation while brushing Aunt Zhang.

The first sentence was hit deep into my heart... I was tired of posing in a cottage theater mode where I wore a sun lounger and watched the movie two meters before the 55-inch TV. It was just a profound touch. After reading this article at a glance, Zhang Amy then revealed all the value-for-money originals of his home theater. He concentrated on three hours of intensive reading and encountered Baidu. And decided at midnight the same day, home theater open! And do it yourself!

At noon the next day, the owner listed a list of requirements:

Positioning: Entry-level home theater, watching movies with 3D Full HD DTS tracks, listening to APE, DTS music, playing Xbox joysticks and somatosensory games. Overall budget 5W

The first, sofa: big factory, three people, can lie on, soft leather, dark stain-resistant;

Second, the curtain: Dachang, 120-inch, glass fiber material;

The third, projection: Dachang, fixed focus, more than 2000 lumens, 1080P, 3D;

The fourth, projection hanger: 30cm to 40cm telescopic, left and right rotation is not less than 15 °, up and down rotation is not less than 15 °;

Fifth, audio: Dachang, 1 center + 2 main speakers + 2 surround + 1 subwoofer (at least 10' living room more than 20 square meters);

The sixth, amplifier: Dachang, support 5.1, at least 1 HDMI IN, at least 4 HDMI OUT;

The seventh item, HDMI cable: 1 20m HDMI, Dachang, support 4K;

Item 8, hardware: several expansion screws, several 6mm expansion bolts, six 2-meter PVC trunking

Ninth, impact drill set: not less than 10mm electric hammer drill;

This list actually has a small mistake, that is, the impact drill + electric hammer can not meet the installation of the expansion bolt (due to the "wall"), you need to use a real hammer. Finally, I found an acquaintance with a hammer to help...

Let's wait for the Lord to come and think about each one.

Note that everyone does not need to calculate the price of each item. At the end of the article, the owner will clearly write the actual unit price and total price of each item.

The first item, the sofa

Here is the first one. Why is the first item a sofa? Because the sofa is an important component in the home theater, it is also important furniture in daily life. The Lord advocates that the sofa should be gradually infiltrated. Otherwise, if it is necessary to talk directly with family members about a large-scale home theater project, it should be opposed in ten or nine times. First, it is necessary to change the set to be more comfortable and more beautiful. With more quality sofas, I believe that the odds of being opposed are not high, and opposition resistance will not be particularly great. Of course, local tyrants have separate audiovisual studios. Please ignore these points.

For the choice of sofa, the owner is heading straight to the home market (Red Star Macalline). In fact, before departure, in fact, there has been a favorite object in the heart, that is, an American sofa with a history of 890 brands – lazyboy. I fell in love with it only because of Joey's and Chandler's voice in the American drama "Friends." To the store found that the owner of the star is unable to afford it... A single-person manual reclining leather sofa would have to be 12,000 softcoin, and the discount is very limited, so that the three people buy it over budget it is appropriate Properly. How to do? The selling price of international brands is too low, and it has decisively fought in China. After considering the price, quality, after-sales and other factors, the owner finally set a set of Zhihua Shi 9550 sofa customization in the store: 1 manual single-digit +1 electric double set, the price is not cheap but no way to customize, but fortunately Also given a space pillow ~ The lord just plans to replace the old pillow, this is the legendary drowsiness someone gave a pillow it ...... custom sofa link is certainly not to send a standard version of 3 +1 bar (actual than 3 +1 cheaper)

second section. curtain

In the beginning, the proprietor was considering a whole set of solutions, namely, curtains, projections, and hangers. He walked around Zhongguancun for this purpose (only because of his proximity...), and then he found several locals on a certain treasure. Shop for consultation. In the end, it abandoned the solution and decided to purchase it separately. There are 3 reasons for this:

1, the solution curtain price is too high, it may give you a double quote, and dealers will give you recommend him to raise the high brand, customer autonomy is very affected;

2, the dealer projection invoice no invoice, do not know if there is any tricky (refitting) invoice tax point, after the tax and e-commerce own price is almost.

3, dealers will recommend more expensive hangers, but homes are completely unusable, a dozen blocks of hangers are sufficient, on the hundred dollars that is a boutique ~

Of course, a complete set of solutions is still suitable for most users, because it is convenient ~ businesses will also provide installation services, Beijing's installation service prices are generally between 200 yuan -300 yuan, including curtain installation + projection installation, and some The hanger/bracket will also be presented. In fact, the price is already included in the installation fee...

The above is the information obtained by the Master during the two-day lunch break in the Zhongguancun Dinghao and Science and Trade Institute. It is not necessarily accurate and is for reference only by the staff. It seems to say more... Let us return to the choice of the curtain. Selecting the screen is the first step of the viewing equipment (the sofa can only be counted as furniture). Only when the size and position of the screen is determined, can the parameters of the projection be selected (the third item is further elaborated) and the installation position, and then the projection is considered. Lifting is also a bracket or a partition.

In fact, the election screen is just a word. If you are not an enthusiast user, just pick it! Because the owner of the home theater positioning is the entry level, the choice of projection is also very clear - when the powerful old models, equivalent to the current market in the low-end, so the curtain can be selected in general, high-end curtain With mid-range projection can only be the middle of the viewing effect.

In terms of size, it is first necessary to measure the projection wall and determine the position of the projection image on the wall. This determines the size of the projection screen. The lord first used a ruler to measure a three-meter-two width of his own projection wall. Then a 120-inch 16:9 screen with a curtain motor of three meters and a curtain of two meters and seven meters was appropriate. Down and down the placement of the two main speakers, or do not risk it, it is 120 inches!

In the selection of curtain material, we did not make too many tangles. We tried to examine the curtains of glass beads, white plastic, and glass fiber. Glass bead material screen will be brighter, but it is not an essential difference. The three material colors are still real and there is no surprise or dissatisfaction. The level of ordinary curtains made by domestic manufacturers is just like this. Closed eyes will not cause any problems. The price is glass beads> glass fiber> white plastic. Finally, it was touched. The overall process and drape of the glass fiber base fabric of glass fiber material was quite good. It was it. Of course, the scene is just a try, you have to go home and go to a treasure to place a single cheap one...

The quality of this curtain is acceptable, and the picture is still very bright. The taste is slightly larger. So far, the taste is still scarce for half a month. Since the non-specially customized black border at the top of the screen is at most 750px, the curtain is suspended directly on the roof. The owner thinks that looking up at the screen is not too cool, so he bought two brackets separately. This will be mentioned later. To (eighth).

Third item, projection

Currently, 1080P projections that support 3D can basically cast 120-inch images (excluding near-focus) within a distance of 3.5 to 3.9 meters. It is also advisable that the projection light bulb be aligned with the center of the curtain. After measuring the living room, the owner determines the range of positions where the projection can be installed (yellow block), as shown below:

Well, space is enough, and you don't have to tangle the projection parameters for the installation location. Then choose according to the initial standard (Dachang, fixed focus, 2000 lumens, 1080P, 3D) ~

Based on the principle of cost-effective digital products, the owner has focused on the old products of two or three years ago. The old product parameters and quality are not bad, but they lack some additional features such as MHL, lens horizontal displacement, and intelligent systems. Finally selected the W1070, 3D, 1080P, short-focus, long-life bulbs in a certain east, the professional certification color 6-speed 6 segment color wheel, 2000 lumens. Although not a good price, but wins three original 3D glasses and free installation service.

Here are some value-friends will say why the projection does not wait for Zhang Aunt recommended low prices? Why don't you go to sea? The main reason is that this time the owner does not want to wait, the entire project needs a quick fix. In short, digital consumer products such as projectors and amplifiers do not have to be too tangled, and they will be replaced when they do not have problems.

The fourth item, projection hanger

The hanger must be considered for horizontal and vertical rotation. According to the angle of home installation environment, it is generally 15°. It is not too long for the hanger rod to extend and contract. Generally, a 2.7-meter-high residential building with 30cm-40cm is sufficient, and 170cm people can easily reach out to the projection.

Hanger material is much the same, do not superstition what aviation special steel or something, home use is not a projection of 4567 kg, easily lifted ... ... is the strong lifting is mainly depends on the expansion bolt installed is not good, with the crane The relationship is not big. The lord chose one at a certain east, as follows:


Again, why did you choose a hanger and did not choose a bracket or a partition? There is only one reason, that is, the projected installation position mentioned above just overlaps with the sofa. Can't hang the projection on the roof or where can it go?

---------------------------------------- Cut and say ------- ------------------------------

The first four items

OK, the first four were introduced. With sofas, curtains, projections, and hangers, you can really enjoy watching movies. The shock brought about by the large-size screen is absolutely enjoyable, and it is not so frustrating for friends to stop there. What about the audio amplifier? Some friends have no requirements for sound effects, so low-cost equipment can satisfy you:

1, integrated Bluetooth speaker, less than a thousand dollars;

2, some projection itself comes with speakers, the effect is also good;

3, home consumer level 5.1 audio, two or three thousand, but also with a Blu-ray player. Pioneer, the Philips brand casually selected, high school and low-frequency all have and install worry-free big brands have specialized masters, the price is not bad and not distressed, there is a higher pursuit can be replaced at any time.

4, on the high-end headphones, since high.

---------------------------------------- Cut off -------- -----------------------------

Let's continue, fifth item, audio

When it comes to sound, the lord judges his subjective judgment. In total, I listened to four sets of audio (non-fans, not tossing), using a song and a movie. They were Zhao Peng’s Yeseeia (APE) and the Hollywood movie “The Pacific Rim” (DTS track). . Songs are used to listen to intermediate frequencies and movies to listen to high frequencies and low frequencies. This is exactly the same as the scene of the use of the Lord. It is both calm and fierce.

The first set: JBLStudio 1

The owner has a JBL complex. From Kidney 4 to Kidney 6 has given the mobile phone several consumer speakers.

For example this goods:

There is this item:

And this item:

It has been used for so many years, so first try JBL. Because they are unprofessional and non-parametric, they can only be judged subjectively. The feeling after listening is that low frequencies are generally the same, but high frequencies are not as thorough as they are. Intermediate frequency is no problem. The overall situation is slightly disappointing. Put the link:

The second set: Harman/Kardon BDS875

Everyone knows that JBL and Harman/Kardon are one family. After listening to his brother, he listens to his younger brother again. After listening to the feeling is low enough, the same high frequency is not enough penetration, IF seems no brother strong ...

The third set: BOSE CineMate520/BOSE535 III

On the whole, the first two brothers did not have the determination to allow the lords to set their hands. BOSE didn't deliberately listen to it, but found a BOSE monopoly at the mall. Anyway, he came in to see it.

Start listening to CineMate520. The first feeling is really small sound ah ... quite space-saving ah ... The second feeling of such a small head so much energy ah ... high-frequency low-frequency no pressure ah! IF is only slightly worse than JBL Studio 1.

The low-end 520 heard and try the high-end 535 III again. After hearing it, I suddenly felt that 520, Studio1, and BDS875 were weakly exploded! High sound through the bass Shenzhong thick, movie music vocals all kinds of flat! Especially a thunder and rain is like walking on the road and watching the sky! The heartbeat is moving and moving This set of 535 III National Bank public price is 3,400, brush a bit about a treasure is basically 20,000. While preparing to clench and raise the overall budget, I suddenly found a problem that I had overlooked: On this 535 III amplifier, there were only 3 HDMI IN! The main stunned moment... The set-top box, XBOX, TV box, and laptop have at least four HDMI INs. Then found a big problem, so high-end home theater actually no Bluetooth? Must be an external Bluetooth receiver? Receiver seven hundred one? Really a dog. In the end, the three interfaces of the interface + Bluetooth must be externally connected + the price exceeds the budget, prompting the owner to give up this set of ear-friendly sound.

The fourth set: Jamo C60 CEN + C607 + C60SUR + J10 (a set of apple color)

The scene was switched back to Zhongguancun. The stunner took a look at the audio monopoly just after taking a walk after lunch. At one glance, he saw the two main speakers of Jamo C607. Then listened in depth to the mix of the whole set, ah, although it is not a color but it is fully enough, the low frequency of high school can meet the requirements of the lord, but the intermediate frequency is a little bit pure (personal feeling), plus it looks like, It is it! Afterwards, the shopkeeper bargained unsuccessfully. A set of orders was placed directly on a certain treasure. The general discounts, but delivery, installation, debugging, hardware, speaker cable, and audio cable were all included. This time I do not even need to buy expansion screws and PVC trunking.

The sixth item, power amplifier

The owner selected a right amplifier in a lot of parameters, OnkyoTX-N636. 4 rear HDMI IN, 2 HDMI OUT, and 1 front HDMI IN with MHL (this is the main reason why the owner eventually decided to buy 1070 not buy 1070+), built-in WIFI and Bluetooth, support for USB3.0, Supports HDMI 2.0 (4K in the future). In terms of professional parameters is said to be able to push the 7.2 sound, the lord's 5.1 is not without pressure? The younger brother who was looking to sell audio talked about it and gave the owner a definite answer: properly and adequately!

However, this product also has its drawbacks, and the amount of heat is not small... The lord is always worried that he can burn it. Hey, first of all, it's broken.

The seventh item, HDMI cable

As early as in the previous years, the home theater wiring was not taken into consideration. Therefore, only nails can be drilled to clear the line. The amplifier must give the HDMI output signal, so the owner must purchase a very long HDMI cable. Of course, small brands do not consider it, and they choose to focus on a few brands such as Akihabara, Kaiboer, and Yamazawa. At the end of the lunch break, the owner once again visited a booth in Zhongguancun and directly started the Kaibol HDMI 2.0 (supporting 4K) 20-meter project line, the price of which is equal to that of a certain treasure.


Now it's still a little small to regret it, and Khor's plug is not as strong as Akihabara.

Item 8, hardware

As mentioned above, in order to match the height of the curtain, the proprietor specifically bought two 25cm brackets, installed the brackets with expansion bolts on the wall, and then suspended the curtains on the brackets, perfect ~ to match this bracket and the projection Hangers, after determining the size, went to the nearby hardware store to buy 10 6mm expansion bolts. In fact, only 6 (cradle 2 and bracket 4) were used, but several more can be prepared for emergency use. Just put a link on it

After loading it is like this:


Item 9, Impact Drill Set

The master thinks that the electric hammer in the impact drill set can play the role of a small electric hammer. As a result, the owner thinks more... The brick mixing is not so much drilling as it is grinding. Life and death made the curtain brackets on the vertical walls well-ground, and tragedy occurred when the hanger holes were projected on the top of the shed. The electric hammer was worn out directly. The lord had to call a friend to bring an electric hammer to help him urgently. Originally did not want to trouble others but in the end did not escape this step ... ... Let's take a look at this set of impact drills, the lord intends to use it to drill the eye hanging picture frames, and the big task is indeed impossible.


---------------------------------- At this point, the home theater installation is completed! ----------------------------------

The overall effect is the following figure sauce sauce ~


Curtain close-up


Remember when you drove out of a plane in 2012? (Is there a rainbow pattern pinch for the pod machine?)


"The world is so big, I want to see it."

Come to a sofa close-up ~ Please ignore the projection of the wiring ... Take the open line of pain


Walking in the trunk at the top of the wall, you can't notice at all


Can't stand to look... 12 plugs, 17 power supplies, and data cables under the TV cabinet


Since then, a codeword has been issued to the hero Sophie III.

All the work went smoothly. They used the time of the noon evening to purchase, install, and lasted only ten days. The budget is also well-controlled, and the final results and the family's compliments make it worthwhile. Ah, to do things or to make it clear and bold. In addition, I would like to thank you in particular for helping me to go to the logistics point to mention the curtains and move upstairs, but also help me to install the screen projection to lay a good friend - you have worked hard ~ the recent meal must be a good meal!

Here is the cost summary:

The first one, Zhihua Shi first class 9550 double + single custom version 16800 yuan

Second, Hongye 120-inch 16:9 white glass curtain 400 yuan

The third, BenQ W1070 projection, send three pairs of original 3D glasses 5989 yuan

The fourth item, projector hanger 79 yuan

Fifth, Jamo C60CEN+C607+C60SUR+J10 Apple audio + line + hardware + installation 13,000 yuan

Item 6, OnkyoTX-N636+ Free Installation 2900 yuan

The seventh item, HDMI cable: 1 20m HDMI, Dachang, support 4K 700 yuan

Item 8: 10 6mm expansion bolts 10 yuan

Item 9: Bosch GSB600RE set 13mm impact drill set 359 yuan

A total of 40,237 yuan is within the budget of the Lord 5W.

Next, there are still a few places that need to be tossed again:

1. Get a NAS, HD video and lossless music all in;

2, upgrade the speaker cable, for coarse; (although the promotion is not obvious)

3, on the optical TV box;

4, such as 4K equipment to start reducing prices.

In the end, let's say two more sentences. The proponent believes that the collocation is reasonable and most important. Sofas, projectors, curtains, amplifiers, and stereos are all listed. Since the owner defines an entry-level home theater, the equipment in each step must be straddled in the entry-level concept. Otherwise, it would be out of his original intention. Psychological and budget double out of control.

In short, no matter how many informative and cognitive errors in this article, nor how nasty the child's understanding of home theater is in the eye of enthusiasts, anyway, now Lords have been idle to listen to the symphony, weekly Fixed entertainment program (China sound 5.1DTS), from time to time to a "big movie", occasionally gathering a group of small partners to cool XBOX's comfortable life ~

Well, this is an ordinary non-paradigm party, non-experienced, non-obsessive-compulsive disorder for the stage of the pursuit of home theater. For higher pursuits, you need to wait for a bigger house.
