Me and Margaret. Tonight. On the new home cinema setup 🙂
Behold:
Sony Bravia KDL-40EX403 40inch LCD Internet enabled TV
Sony BDP-S370 Blu-ray Player
Yamaha YSP-600 Digital Sound Projector
Watchmen Director’s Cut Blu-ray Disc
Blade Runner Final Cut Blu-ray Disc
Beers/Pear Cider
Crisps
It really ties the room together. 🙂
I really like getting BBC iPlayer through the Blu-ray player, still awaiting a TV firmware upgrade to allow iPlayer natively without needing to switch on the BDP.
I am a happy, 🙂 yet decidedly poorer man. 😦
Now investigating suitable subwoofers, don’t tell Margaret. :-0
PS: First ever tech post, despite me changing the blog strapline from ‘Photography, Tech and the Great Outdoors’ to ‘Photography and Hiking in Scotland’ last week.

I shall invite myself over for a viewing of the Watchmen DC should I ever make it to Scotland. I’m jealous & it looks awesome. Great parkett (parquet? Wooden floor!), btw.
42″ Toshiba Regza telly
Celestion something or other speakers, driven by a Cambridge audio amp that sits under my 2 Technics 1210’s and Pioneer DJM 600.
My wooden floor came out of a packet…
Telly is used as PC monitor, PC sis used like a PC and Media centre so gets iPlayer too.
The hills are great but the couch has its momemts too!
Ha, I’ve been on the couch too much recently!
Hendrik, you’re more than welcome, I suspect you’ll be over for a TGO challenge at some point. 🙂
The floor is out a packet too, not real wood sadly…
At the top of the stand is £900 worth of Arcam DV88 DVD player, around 10 years old, now obsoleted and outclassed by a £130 Sony Blu-ray! How technology marches on! BTW, I didn’t pay £900 for it, my sister won it [The crossword competition in Q magazine!] and I bought it from her at a greatly reduced price. It retired from DVD duties now, but is still a great CD player.
Sandy, there’s a lot to be said for having an audio setup to match the screen, sounds like your setup would do that too. I decided I didn’t want to run speaker cable around the room [it’s L shaped and there s no clear path from the TV to rear satellite speakers]. The Yamaha works surprisingly well at mimicking a full surround setup, it definitely adds a dimension and more power to the audio which the internal TV speakers can’t manage.
I’m going to miss CDs when they’re gone, specifically the packaging and artwork. No doubt my music collection will be entirely hard disk based in a few years time. I think I’ll have to re-encode everything to a lossless format…
