The Jarvis's Home Theater Project

John Whitney and I helped Mark and Jen turn a room in their basement into a pretty sweet Home Theater. This is Home Theater Project #8 for me (2 for me and 6 helping friends) and # 5 for John. This is the fastest we completed the project. We had our initial meeting with them on April 10th to define the vision and discuss equipment options. Mark wasted no time ordering the gear (Panasonic 720p LCD projector, Rocket HT package from www.av123.com, Denon 2807 receiver with the optional Ipod dock). We were done with a fully functional HT on May 7th.

As with our other projects, the most time consuming part of the work when putting in a HT in a finished space is running the wires. Since this was project #8 and #5 for me and John, we are getting pretty good at it.

I am mounting and leveling one of the Rocket RS300 surround speakers. The white gloves were included so you don't leave fingerprints on the speaker finish
