Thats Teddy – our guard cat, scowling over everything! (click image to enlarge)

This is a small room downstairs, with a lovely view out the large windows to the left. But with a cozy futon and the light rope, its become a really comfy theatre room! Note how crisp the Channel 9 HD news broadcast is – and this is a daytime picture. Thats why we choose a CRT instead of DLP or a projection set. Plus, it fits the scale of the room

Look at the small “trays” I built on the walls near the ceiling – these conceal a long string of LED light rope that runs around 3 walls of the TV room. At night, even with the lights on, its not a distraction to the TV/movies.

34″ Phillips Widescreen HD CRT –
We’ve got an OLD pair of L36 decade JBL speakers (circa 1974) in the front, 2 more recent small JBLs hang from the ceiling in the rear, and a Sony subwoofer sits off to the side. AV/Sound control is handled by a JVC AV Receiver (a few years old now) and JVC components make up the rest (CD, DVD, Casette tape and VCR).

Oh – the shiney white lump next to the cable box is an Apple airport express, so I can use the Mac up in my office to feed music like a huge jukebox.
