DIY Home Theater Additions - Home Theater Soundproofing


DIY home theater additions are quickly becoming the thing of the future. With the economy in its present state, many homeowners are looking to add value to their properties while maintaining their budget. This translates most oftentimes into three little letters: DIY. Home theater construction is just one of the many DIY projects homeowners are undertaking in an effort to add value to their homes.

DIY Home Theater Additions - Home Theater Soundproofing


When it comes to building a home theater, homeowners need to remember one thing: You can't underestimate the importance of do it yourself soundproofing! No matter how good your home theater looks, it's likely to disappoint you if you don't take care of the sound.

Why is Home Theater Soundproofing so important?

Home theater soundproofing decreases the amount of noise that escapes from your theater room into the rest of your house. Peacemaker soundproofing insulation is one type of soundproofing material that is ideal for your DIY home theater project. Installed within the walls, floors, and ceiling, these eco-friendly insulation sheets and rolls come in various thicknesses to help keep sound where it belongs.

Peacemaker's impact extends beyond the area you are soundproofing. The rubber soundproofing material puts old and recycled tires to sound use, keeping them out of already-overflowing landfills. In using products such as these to soundproof your room, you are making a difference not only in your immediate environment but in the greater one as well.

Beyond Home Theatre Soundproofing - Improve Home Theater Acoustics

When it comes to DIY home theater projects, do it yourself soundproofing is not the only requirement. Adding absorptive material to the walls of a finished home theater room is necessary to improve room acoustics. This acoustic treatment will aid in reflecting the sound that leads to echoes and reverberation. Absorptive products such as acoustic panels and sound absorption sheets work to acoustically tune a room, bringing out the sounds you want to hear and absorbing those that you don't.

Bass traps and Sonipad Anti-Vibration Isolation Platforms are other acoustic elements that can be added to your DIY home theater. Bass traps capture low-frequency sounds whereas Sonipad Platforms "float" a device (for example, a speaker) to reduce surface vibration, resulting in tighter, fuller sound.

Eliminating that Terrible Hum From Your Home Theater Speakers

Eliminating that Terrible Hum From Your Home Theater Speakers


You've all heard it, that dreaded 60Hz hum through the speakers of a home theater or house audio system. Hopefully you heard it at a friend's house and not your own. It can drive you completely nuts. You may have even tried, unsuccessfully, to fix the little noise problem. That can make you even more crazy. What causes that horrendous noise through your speakers?

More often than not humming through your speakers is caused by a grounding problem. There are three main ground problems that cause problems in an audio / video system. These are ground loops, improper grounding and lack of a ground altogether. The other possible culprits that can cause noise are bad cables, a faulty piece of equipment or electrical noise from a lighting dimmer or electric motor. There are steps you can take to troubleshoot the noise and eliminate it from you theater.

The first step is find out where it is coming from. Disconnect your source and display equipment from your receiver or surround sound processor. If the noise stops, connect them back to the receiver or processor on at a time until the noise returns. When the hum comes back, you found where the noise is entering your system. Note that if you are connecting remote equipment, such as running the signal from your theater room DVD player to the TV in the bedroom, your chances to pick up noise increase dramatically. With such long runs, noise can be induced into the long cable runs from adjacent electrical wiring. It is also easy to create a ground loop, because the equipment is plugged into two different, widely separated outlets, on different electrical circuits.

If the noise is caused by a cable box, the noise is likely caused by the cable TV ground. To test this theory, disconnect the incoming cable TV feed to the rear of the cable box or TV while they are still connected to the rest of the system. If the noise is eliminated by disconnecting the TV cable, the problem is the cable TV ground. You can electrically decouple the cable TV feed from your system with a ground breaking transformer. These are available from many sources. Be advised that many newer, digital cable TV systems require any device in the signal chain to pass a full 1,000 Mhz. Some of the older ground break transformers will not do this. Be sure to check the specifications of whatever device you are purchasing to verify it will pass the digital cable TV signal.

If the noise is from your projector, TV, or monitor, it is most likely caused because the video display device is plugged into a different outlet than the other a/v equipment. It could be on a different circuit as well. These circuits may have two different ground potentials. That is, the resistance to ground is different on each circuit. A difference in resistance to ground from one ground point to another can cause the dreaded ground loop. If you get a ground loop, current flows between the two components. If the current flows through the components internal audio signal ground, you will get a hum.

You can use an isolation transformer, similar to the type used for cable TV ground problems, to eliminate the electrical connection from one component to the other. These transformers are inserted in line with the audio signal connection between the two components. If there is no audio connection between the components, the problem may be current flowing through the video portion. In this case, a video isolation transformer should be used to eliminate the ground loop.

Sometimes power conditioners will stop noise problems by placing equipment on different, electrically isolated outlets. This is done using isolation transformers. Sometimes this is ineffective however, due to the differences in internal construction of different power conditioning equipment. Some safety regulations, such as UL 1950, specify that an isolation transformer is only allowed to isolate the hot and neutral wires; the grounding wire must be passed straight through. If this is the case, the ground loop problem may still exist because many communication circuits are connected to the grounding conductor and not the neutral. In this case, the isolation transformer, or any power conditioner or UPS with an isolation transformer will have absolutely no affect on the grounding problem.

The noise may be generated externally, from a dimmer or refrigerator compressor for example, and coming in through the main power input on the audio video equipment. In this case, a high quality power conditioner may be effective in reducing or eliminating the noise problem. You may also find that one of the signal interconnecting cables in your system is faulty. This can also cause noise problems. Check for this by swapping the cables with one that you know to be good.

You can solve most noise problems in your home theater or multi room audio/video system by taking the systematic, step-by-step approach. Work your way up the signal chain, eliminating each piece of equipment as you go. If you have nothing connected to your speakers except the speaker wiring, and they still hum, the problem is noise induced into the speaker wiring from adjacent power cables. Other than that case, most problems are caused by ground problems, which you can find, and solve, if you take it one step at a time.

How to Get Cinemark Theaters Discount Movie Tickets

One of the things you can try doing is check out different websites. Start with the main site of the theater itself because it usually has a listing of the current deals they have. With Cinemark Theaters, they usually offer discounts if you buy movie tickets in bulk. It's perfect if you are planning a movie field trip with more than twenty people because you can get bigger discounts that way. There are also websites that have been created solely to give you discounts, and these are very popular nowadays. However, if you want to make sure that you don't run out of codes or coupons to get from these sites, make sure to visit them frequently to get updates, or to sign up for their newsletter, if they have any.

Another way to get discount movie tickets is to check your local stores like Costco and Sam's Club. I am quite certain that Sam's Club offers discounts to Cinemark and you can do this online if it's more convenient for you.

If you're a student or a senior student, you are automatically entitled to discounts, so make sure that you always have a valid ID with you whenever you want to watch a movie.

Another common way of getting discounts is by checking out product promotions. There are a lot of movie-product tie-ins nowadays which can get your discounts when you purchase a certain amount of products.

But one practical way of getting discounts is through someone you know who works for Cinemark or any other movie theater. You can even get in for free if you know someone who works in some theaters.

Home Cinema Setup With a Yamaha RX-V663 Home Cinema Amplifier


The best value home theater receivers are in the midrange category. They offer superior sound over underpowered entry-level models, include the most important features available on the high-end models, and they still manage to cost between 0 and 0. I recommend this for your home cinema project.

Home Cinema Setup With a Yamaha RX-V663 Home Cinema Amplifier

The Yamaha RX-V663 falls right into the midrange class, and if your main concern is sound quality, it's one of the better AV receivers we've heard, outperforming the Sony STR-DG920 in our head-to-head match up..

The shape of the RX-V663 is nothing much to look at, just your standard run of the mill AV receiver shape. On the top half, there's a centered orange LCD display, which we found easily readable from about 8 feet back.  The large volume knob on the right hand side is above the front panel inputs

The RX-V663 has a really nice remote well laid out and a nice feel from the keys, I don't use it much as I have switched to the harmony remote.

The back panel layout is a bit annoying the design is not as you would expect. For some reason, the audio and video inputs for each device are separate, so, for example, you'd run the yellow composite video cable from your Nintendo Wii to the far right-hand side, while the red and white analog audio cables would go on the far left. It's likely to cause a rat's nest of tangled wires on many home theater systems, as well as forcing you to separate many cables that bundle video and audio connections together. You might want to consider going for a wireless home theater system if you want to avoid the cable spaghetti

Yamaha's Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) automatic speaker calibration system determines speaker sizes and volume levels, measures the distances from the speakers to the listener, confirms that all of the speaker cables are correctly hooked up, and uses equalization to balance the frequency response of all the speakers. This process work very well when I ran it connected to my Accusound Speaker, I only need to run it once and the sound was really balanced, when I mount the rear speaker onto wall brackets.

Starting the auto setup program is as easy as plugging in the included mic, but note that we got an inaccurate error warning during out tests.

Some nice features that I liked, these don't always get a mention. One is that the RX-V663 includes two switched AC outlets, for powering other components. The next is the special iPod docking port that lets you connect a iPod dock or the bluetooth adapter, I use the iPod dock works well. The on screen display from the iPod dock is still a bit old fashioned but it work OK for selection music from your iPod.

Home Cinema Theater-Surround Sound Problems?

Home Cinema Theater-Surround Sound Problems?


You have just acquired your brand new home cinema Theatre system, spending not too little. There is great picture, a superb speaker, amazing speakers and you are ready for the final touch, to start watching your favourite films; connect the rear channel surround speakers. Not so amazing and great, is it? And all the wires all over the place will definitely make you regret buying your home theater. Well, here is when wireless comes along. Not so fast ... There are a few aspects which you haven't though that will most probably cause some unpleasantness when you connect wireless to surround sound.

Home Cinema Theater-Surround Sound Problems?

One of them is the time lag. There is a required time for the transmission and processing of the sound from the rear speakers to thefront speakers. In order to generate the signal and transmit it to the speaker, decode it and amplify it at the end "from the speakers is a certain process. For you to enjoy surround sound there must be a latency in processing, to prevent the case where the sound comes in different time from the front and rear speakers. And that is the case because you usually have the rear channels nearer to the viewer. To avert this situation systems like Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround Pro Logic enforce a certain delay of milliseconds for the different surround sound channels.

It is vital that when you hear the sound to cannot say exactly where the source of the sound is placed. This creates an illusion that gives depth to the sound field. And for that reason, engineers use balance controls toimitate sounds across the sound field so that we pick out sounds from various locations. Time is the most vital aspect in surround sound since it can determine how sound reaches our ears and then our senses in general.

Another problem is interference. The source of The interference in each system is according to the technology used.

Different systems use different ways to avoid interference. For example, Bluetooth believes that when the signal gets interference it will sense it and simply change the frequency. Wi-Fi also believes that it can solve the interference issues by shifting channels. These products, however, have limited potential because of the 802.11 chipsets and the protocol they follow.

Infrared or IR technology is used for wireless surround. It hasthe potential of more than 100 Mbps and that is why it has been very prevalent. The defect is that it needs a direct line of sight (LOS) and whenever this connections is not achieved the signal is lost along with the sound.

Moreover, you may need to face the problem of power. The rear speakers will most probably need power source if they receive the signal without any wires. And if the non-existence of wires was the main point at first then this means trouble. Powercast uses a technology that can provide wireless devices with power but doesn't have the ability to support wider needs, like these of surround channels.
