Mounting ceiling speakers in a wall?

I have a 7.1 surround sound receiver. I bought a 5.1 speaker set and am buying 2 additional speakers for the middle satellite speakers. I need in-wall speakers for logistic reasons. Most of the in-wall speakers are too big for the location I need but the round shape of the in-ceiling speakers would work.

I did the same thing using a 9.1 system. Basically make sure of the depth of the wall. Some inner walls are not deep enough to accommodate the speaker. I used Polk, a little more expensive but the end result was satisfying considering that you don't want to be cutting into your drywall and running cable more than once.

HDTV stands for High Definition Television, and if you live in the USA, Australia, or Japan you may already have experienced it. There are three key differences between HDTV and what's become known as standard definition TV ie regular NTSC, PAL or SECAM. The three differences are; an increase in picture resolution, 16:9 widescreen as standard, and the ability to support multi-channel audio such as Dolby Digital.

The most important aspect of HDTV, and the one which gives it its name is the increased resolution. Standard definition NTSC broadcasts have 525 horizontal lines, and PAL broadcasts are slightly better at 625 lines. In both these systems however, the actual number of lines used to display the picture, known as the active lines, is fewer than that. In addition, both PAL and NTSC systems are interlaced, that is, each frame is spit into two fields, one field is the odd-numbered lines and the other is the even lines. Each frame is displayed alternately and our brain puts them together to create a complete image of each frame. This has an adverse affect on picture quality.

HDTV is broadcast in one of two formats; 720p and 1080i. The numbers refer to the number of lines of vertical resolution and the letters refer to whether the signal is progressive scan, 'p', or interlaced, 'i'. Progressive scan means that each frame is shown in its entirety, rather than being split into fields. Both systems are significantly better quality than either PAL or NTSC broadcasts.

HDTV uses 16:9 widescreen as is its aspect ratio so widescreen pictures are transmitted properly and not letterboxed or panned and scanned. Dolby Digital multichannel sound can be broadcast as part of an HDTV signal, so if you have a surround sound speaker set-up you can use it to listen to TV rather than just DVDs.

To receive an HDTV broadcast you need either a TV with a built-in HDTV tuner or a HDTV receiver which can pick-up off the air HDTV channels, or cable or satellite HDTV like. You also need to live in are where HDTV channels are broadcast or distributed by cable or satellite.

Currently HDTV is widespread in Japan and is becoming commonplace in the US, with most major networks distributing HDTV versions of their popular content. The 2005 Superbowl led to a large increase in the demand for Fox Sports HDTV and cable companies scrambled to add it to their offering in the run up to the game. In Autralia, HDTV uptake was sluggish initially but has increased significantly since 2003.

The situation in Europe is not so bright. There is only one company broadcasting HDTV in the whole of Europe, Euro1080, and it has only two HDTV channels, both in the 1080i format. Euro1080HDe shows major cultural and sporting events to cinemas and clubs around Europe, while HD1 broadcasts sports, opera, rock music, and lifestyle programs via satellite to homes in Europe. UK satellite broadcaster, Sky, which is owned by Fox proprieter Rupert Murdoch, has announced plans to broadcast some HDTV content in 2006. The BBC has also made noises about broadcasting HDTV programs (it already films some programs in HD format).

However, it will be a while before HDTV in Europe catches up with the rest of the world. The controversy created by the confirmation of plans by the UK government to start switching off analogue transmitters in 2008 showed how many people have yet to make the switch to DVB-T. That will be used as an argument to show that there is no appetite in the UK for another major change in TV broadcasting -particularly as most people think they already have 'digital TV' in the form of DVB-T.

Given that television was invented by a Briton, and Europe led the way with PAL for so long, this is a rather sorry state of affairs.

Component Video - Does it work on Standard Def TVs?

I recently purchased a Phillips DVD Recorder with Component Video and S-Video outputs. I then purchased a Insignia 27" Flat Screen Tube TV that claimed to have progressive scanning capabilities and, of course,
component video inputs. When I used the component video cables, the picture flickered quite frequently when there was major colour difference displayed on the screen (changing channels, graphics, etc). I then tried to switch it to "Progressive Scan" on my DVD recorder and it would
not allow me to do so. My question is: When a standard (interlaced )definition TV (480i) claims to have component video capabilities, is this possible considering that it is an interlaced picture rather than a progressive scan picture
(480p)?
Why do tube TV's even have component video inputs?

My old Sony 27" Wega is not progressive scan (480p) but does support component video inputs.

Even without doing progressive scan, component video gives you the best picture quality- even over s-video. The picture quality on that TV was much better than many other larger sets, until you started getting into progressive scan or HD.

A recent trend in home cinemas is the use of both "in wall" and even "in ceiling speakers" that offer the listener the benefit of an extra dimension in their audio listening experience, while storing the satellite speakers themselves out of sight and out of mind. The appeal of having speakers mounted in wall cavities is particularly appealing in modern apartments where a minimalist approach is applied. The fact is that without encroaching on space, some fantastic results are possible and are well within the means of the average home cinema owner.

Unlike a normal speaker that is mounted in a cabinet, the diver of an in-wall or in-ceiling speaker is mounted in a frame that is set into the wall directly. What often happens is that you receive additional bass from the wall itself that would be missing from a speaker of the same size. The only difference between an in-ceiling speaker and an in-wall speaker is that the in-wall speaker is positioned in the wall and the in-ceiling speaker, the ceiling above. For some reason in-ceiling speakers are generally round and in-wall speaker rectangular in size.

When installing wall speakers, the most fundamental factor is the rigidity and size of the speaker cavities. It is important to get the job done properly or the frequency response of the overall system may be adversely affected.

The speaker technology itself should be carefully considered too, although other than choosing a speaker set of a good size, mounted speaker sets are compared in exactly the same way as any other speakers. Factors to consider are: frequency response, power handling, efficiency and features.

Probably the most crucial factor when installing ceiling speakers is their positioning as this can directly affect the quality of the sound. While this may be true of just about any speaker system, it applies more so for a ceiling installation as it is difficult to change the position of the speakers once they've been set up. To provide for positional changes, many systems have adopted a pivotal bass unit and tweeter. While a conventional in ceiling system will only direct the sound in a downward direction, the ability to pivot speakers allows you to focus the sound to suit your position in the room.

Whichever actual speaker system you end up choosing, the advantages of a surround sound wall and ceiling speakers are clear, enabling you to enjoy top quality audio output within a minimalist design blending seamlessly with your decor. The most visible hint is a wall mounted grill that looks very discrete and is barely noticeable.

Plasma TV Owners: How did you brace your wall to hang the unit?

I recently got a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV (TH-50PX60U) with a Sanus Flat Panel TV Mount (VMSAs) that tilts, swivels, and pans. The instruction manual with the tv mount says the wall should be able to handle 5 times the weight of the plasma tv plus the weight of the actual mount. That is roughly 550 pounds. How in the world do I beef up my wall to safely handle that? We live in an old house with plaster walls and I would like to hang it above the fireplace. Can you give me any advice? Thank you!
Thanks for the comments so far. Just to clarify, we do not use the fireplace - the tv would look very nice in this location!

First things first, I seriously doubt that the mfg. of the TV will warrant the TV if you hang it over a fireplace. I know you see all those pretty pics of TVs over fireplaces but they cannot handle the heat, most have an automatic shut off when they reach a certain temp.

The const of the wall around your fireplace may not have wood studs, hopefully it does, you must locate those studs and the weight you are talking about you will need to hit three studs with a wall bracket and that bracket will need to be bolted to the studs with at least two 3" lag bolts on each stud.

The lath on the wall is probably wood lath over which the plaster was spread, I've seen situations where the homeowner opened the wall to expose the studs and then attached 3/4" plywood to the studs to this they could bolt the mounting bracket distributing the load over the studs. This plywood could then be finished out to match the wall.

Again- carefully consider the mfg. recommendations regarding fireplaces.

Can I connect a powered sub to my TV without a receiver?

I have a 42" Samsung plasma with an RCA audio output. I dispise home theater kits and am not a fan of surround sound, but would like to add deeper bass to my tv. I've looked at a couple powered subs with an RCA input and I'm wondering if all I have to do is connect it? Will it cut the sound from my TV speakers if I do and will it work on all devices input into the TV?

one thing you might want to try is to see if your TV has a menu to turn on an aux audio output. if it does see if when you turn it on if it turns off the TV speakers. if you still hear sound then nothing should be stopping you from hooking up the sub. however, if the speakers on the tv turn off and you have the sub hooked up you'll just hear muffled sounds and bass. i would recommend checking out a powered set of computer speakers, many of them can really put out some serious sound and are plenty powerful. most will have a typical 1/8" headphone type jack that can easily be adapted to the RCA connection youll need. i just purchased a 200watt 2.1 system for my computer for under 150 at circuit city. i imagine that bestbuy would have the same or better yet check out ebay if you don't mind shipping. hope that helps.

how to fix home theater subwoofer surround?

i have recently acquired a infinity home theater system that includes two small back speakers and the surround around the cone as completely come apart and the same goes for the subwoofer....i need a very cheap way to fix this if possible...

There is no cheap fix. If there was, you'd still have a cheap speaker. Many "systems" are the worst offenders to my ear. The contracted parts they get, from China most likely, are the most substandard parts I have ever seen. They have to be cheap or no one will buy them. The mark up in those systems is unbelievable. You got what you paid for. As far as I am concerned, you need to replace the entire system with a decent quality matched speaker set. Personally, I have not heard a system that was good to me that didn't cost less than $2K. The problem that many people make is either they get good speakers & a cheap receiver/amp or bad speakers & too powerful of an amp. That will always destroy one or the other. My recommendation, and I say this from experience in what I have, is to get a Yamaha RX-V863 receiver, and Polk Audio RTi series speakers. I have something similar to what I linked you, but for a smaller room. If you got that route, you will get satisfaction from your surround. Be prepared to drop about $3K.

One of the most important parts of any bathroom is the mirror. When properly lighted, a bathroom mirror can be every womanÂ’s best friend. Have you ever wondered why some bathrooms can be so friendly and welcoming while others are harsh and uninviting?

The answer probably lies on proper lighting. LetÂ’s admit it; everyone spends a considerable amount of time in front of a mirror. We primp and preen in front of a mirror trying to fix ourselves in as many ways as we can. A mirror is an important tool in providing ourselves proper grooming. The mirror needs to be properly lighted so that spending time in front of it will be an everyday pleasing routine.

It is a challenge to provide good lighting for a mirror. Lighting a mirror properly will eliminate unnecessary shadows and provide good illumination for every user. Frequently, we see only a single ceiling fixture in a bathroom. Instead of providing a friendly illumination, this type of lighting only casts shadows below your eyes and hit your eyebrows, which are definitely unfriendly effects. Cross lighting is the key to good mirror lighting. Cross lighting includes direct light from above, both sides and below. Achieving this can be made possible through a wide range of available lighting fixtures. Glare from frosted bulbs or those fixtures with opaque plastic or glass shields should be avoided.

Decorators suggest that the sinkÂ’s front edge and countertop should be illuminated with a light on the ceiling above the mirror. This could be a recessed task light that can be a round incandescent ceiling fixture that should be at least 12 inches in diameter with a bulb rating of 100 to 120 watts. You can also choose a fluorescent ceiling fixture above the sink. It is recommended that a fluorescent ceiling fixture above the sink should hold two 24-inch bulbs with 20 watt rating.

In order to complete the cross lighting, you should place light fixtures on both sides of the mirror. It is important to choose a light fixture that casts light in four directions - up, down and both sides. Rows of exposed incandescent bulbs with low wattage are especially designed to light mirrors. Pendants or wall-mounted fixtures are also common choices. These types of fixtures should be placed at eye level and should have at least 60 to 70 watt bulb. Fluorescent tubes are also favored choices because these utilize low electric consumption and last longer. Today, there are a lot of fluorescent tubes that are designed for vanity use and which provide a full spectrum light. A 24 inch 20 watt tube placed on each side of the mirror will create the required illumination. If your bathroom mirror is more than 24 inches wide, you can use a wall mounted light above the mirror and at the same time use the same type of fixture on the sides to complete the cross lighting effect.

Finally, for mirrors larger than 36 inches wide, sidelights may not be enough to provide the desired illumination. However this can be corrected by using powerful overhead light sources, which will be enough to cover even the mid section of the mirror that the side fixtures may fail to illuminate.

Mounting ceiling speakers in a wall?

I have a 7.1 surround sound receiver. I bought a 5.1 speaker set and am buying 2 additional speakers for the middle satellite speakers. I need in-wall speakers for logistic reasons. Most of the in-wall speakers are too big for the location I need but the round shape of the in-ceiling speakers would work.

I did the same thing using a 9.1 system. Basically make sure of the depth of the wall. Some inner walls are not deep enough to accommodate the speaker. I used Polk, a little more expensive but the end result was satisfying considering that you don't want to be cutting into your drywall and running cable more than once.

The speaker setup in a home theater audio system is crucial to an entertainment center's performance in your household. A lot of experts agree that the ideal speaker setup should try to avoid ceiling installation for the primary three front speakers. Additionally, these speakers should be angled with a proper mounting bracket, if they have to be set up above ear level.

You should also avoid buying cubed speakers which may cost lesser but are less than ideal as part a home theater audio system. These little black or white cubes are also less likely to be compatible with your entertainment room's aesthetics, and you can easily find speakers that integrate better with interiors.

If you already have cubed speakers, you still can make the most of these home theater audio system components. First, ensure that these speakers are connected to their corresponding bass module connections. Then, check if each speaker level connection from the bass module is linked to the corresponding receiver connection (i.e. left rear to left rear; center channel to center channel). Also, have an RCA cable from the sub out of the receiver be connected to the sub in of the bass module.

After this, you will have to set in the receiver's bass management all of the speakers to "Large" and the subwoofer to "Yes". With these steps, an appreciable performance could be derived from your cubed speakers, but consultation with your dealer or the speaker manufacturer may still be needed when these procedures fail or you are in doubt of any of the connections made.

How come my stereo receiver sounds better than my new digital Sony STR-DG1000 ?

I have an old Stereo Denon receiver but I want to be able to enjoy 5.1 sound. So I bought the Sony STR-DG1000. The problem is when I play the CD sound track, I have to crank the volume up (75%) just to hear the litter sound despite I have good Polk speaker. Not to mention I also hook up with AudioSound EQ to boost more volume. Are there more steps I have to follow to get the sound I want for my new receiver? Please help

You bought a Sony!

Your Denon will smoke' anything Sony will put out.

If you really want to feel the excitement of watching a movie in your own home, then you have to get a surround sound system.

You may already have the big screen in your room, but if you are not able to hear the soundtrack at its best, then you're missing out on half the fun!

However, many people feel that installing a surround sound system is too difficult - and that it's too complicated for them to hook up.

Well, it's not that difficult - follow these points to understand what you need to get your own surround sound set up.

1. Decide on the surround sound configuration you want.

Most modern DVDs come with a 5.1 surround soundtrack - so a 5.1 speaker setup is the most common speaker system that people have. This system has six speakers - a center speaker, front left and right, surround left and right and a subwoofer (for the bass). However, other common configrations are 7.1 and 7.2 surround sound speaker systems.

2. Buy an AV receiver/amplifier and speaker package - or a home theater in-a-box system.

The AV receiver is the amplifier for your speakers - and the processor for the 5.1 surround soundtrack. You will have to buy a separate 5.1 speaker package to connect to the surround sound receiver - and probably the speaker cable too. The main advantage of an AV receiver is that you can connect many different external devices to it - such as DVD players, Blu-ray players, cable TV boxes, DVD recorders etc.

A home theater in-a-box system (HTiB) will come with the amplifier, speakers and all the cabling in one package - and will often have a built-in DVD/Blu-ray player too. However, there is often limited scope for connecting other devices to this type of system.

3. Connect the system together.

• Connect the speakers to the speaker outputs on the AV receiver using the speaker cables. Make sure you connect the center speaker to the center speaker output, the front left speaker to the front left speaker output etc.
• Connect the HDMI output of your DVD player to the first HDMI input on the receiver. This will send the DVD picture and the sound to the receiver.
• Connect the HDMI output port on the AV receiver to the first (maybe only) HDMI connection on your TV. The AV receiver will use this to send the picture to the TV screen.
• Run the automatic speaker setup for the AV receiver (most have this). This will send a test signal around your speakers and set a good balance.

4. Play the movie!

5. How it all works

• When you press play on the DVD player, the video and audio signals are sent to the AV receiver down the HDMI cable - make sure you select the correct input on the AV receiver and it will receive the signal.
• The AV receiver then sends the picture to the TV - make sure you select the correct input on the TV (the TV may switch to the correct input when it gets the signal).
• The AV receiver also sends the audio to the speakers. It should automatically receive the 5.1 mix on the DVD and send it out to the speaker system in surround sound.

Summary

So there we have it, a quick checklist of what you need to buy to get a surround sound system in you home - and how you connect everything together. If you need more detailed information on this process, then follow the links below.

Have fun!

It's probably safe to bet that everyone has heard of the infamous Scary Maze Game. Surely, with such popularity and the swarm of viral videos, this scary sensation is bound to have surfaced on every computer screen in America. Or has it?

The number of Scary Maze Game videos featuring the horrified reactions of unsuspecting victims of this bone chilling game, do not appear to be dwindling. In fact, there are even newer and more frightening versions of the Scary Maze Game available these days. So what is the Scary Maze Game?

The scary maze is a flash game masterpiece that has the amazing ability of capturing you attention, while keeping you distracted at the same time. There is only one rule. Don't touch any walls. Most often, unsuspecting players have been challenged by a friend to navigate a small red dot through something called the "scary maze". After being told how only a select few are able to make it past level four of the maze, ego takes control and they grab the mouse. After all, this maze doesn't look that scary.

The appearance of the game is harmless enough. Usually a crude, blocky maze and a simple red dot. The non threatening appearance of the Scary Maze Game is part of it's genius. Level one looks so ridiculously easy, most will attempt it just to quiet down the person who has challenged them. After easily defeating level one, a smaller path appears and level two begins. Quickly enough, the player defeats level two.

Then things begin to get tricky. Level three consists of a much smaller path to navigate and the unsuspecting participant will most often scoot closer to the screen and start to focus. Many people will actually hit a wall on this level. At which time, the scary maze game simply starts over at level one. This has been known to happen numerous times on level three. This becomes increasingly frustrating to the player, which is now completely drawn in. They will often request complete silence, as they are now more determined than ever to beat the deceptive maze game.

Upon reaching level four, the player is faced with a very narrow and what looks to be impossible path to navigate. Their hand grips the computer mouse tightly to avoid any unnecessary movement and off they go. Unfortunately this phase of the scary maze game is designed to be impossible. The player will hit a wall. That is unavoidable. Trust me. It will happen. When they do comes the moment we have all been waiting for.

A horribly grotesque picture, usually that of Linda Blair as she appeared in the movie "The Exorcist", suddenly and unexpectedly appears. This appearance of probably one of the scariest faces of all time, would be enough to send most running out of the room. But the scary maze game takes it a step further by adding a toe curling, bone chilling scream that is quick to remind you of how loud your computer speakers actually are.

Common reactions are screaming, leaping, falling out of one's chair or all of the above. The entire situation is usually being deviously recorded by the one who challenged the gullible victim in the first place. It's usually not long before that video makes it's way onto the world wide web. Often shamefully hilarious, the videos go viral and inadvertently further the popularity of the scary maze game.

Feeling brave? The maze is almost everywhere on the net. You can always try it for yourself. Just make sure nobody is recording!
