Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 06:23 PM

Receiver: Sony STR-SE391 (with 'Dolby Digital Ready' 5.1 inputs)

Center: Sony CV-V130
Mains: Sony SS-V130
Surrounds: Sony SS-V130
Subwoofer: Sony SA-WM40

CD Player: Aiwa XC-37M 5 disc changer

VCR: Ancient Mitsubishi (Which doesn't even have S-Video out)

Audio/Video switching: RCA A/V Source selector

Cable box: Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2100 (with digital audio output and HD component output)

Furniture: 3 sets of Room and Board Matrix modular furnature units in maple wood. Very spouse friendly, lots of room for electronics. Also, the CD shelves visible on the far right are from Room and Board. *Link*

Very cool. I like the modular furniture particularly.

***1138*** · 02-07-2002, 06:46 PM

Yeah, that bookcase is cool. Weird, but cool.

Travis Bickle · 02-07-2002, 06:52 PM

Yes, that is cool furniture!

Is that speaker wire on the ceiling? I can't quite make it out. If it is you could cover it up somehow. Someone around here should know!

tomdkat · 02-07-2002, 08:22 PM

Yeah, I like the setup as well! Jellodyne, you should change your handle to "Sonydyne"...

Peace.....

***Wirehed*** · 02-07-2002, 09:21 PM

Shop at Ikea much?

I dig the entertainment center. I'm thinking of doing something like that for my office Game room set up.

Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 09:55 PM

Hey, thanks for all the comments everyone!

Yeah, I like the sony, but in my defense the receiver and speakers were a package deal, the player has the decoder needed to get surround sound on the receiver and the sub was just too good a deal. Once I upgrade the receiver and speakers I'll be much less Sony dense.

Speaker wire? Not speaker wire... edited:OK, there's a little speaker wire tucked behind in there, but really you don't usually see it unless you're taking flash pictures

Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 10:26 PM

Aw, heck, as long as I'm doing this might as well do it right...

The more frontal view:

Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 10:27 PM

D'oh!

Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 10:29 PM

The 'display area':

Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 10:31 PM

The equiptment

* CD Player
* Receiver
* DVD Player
* VCR

Jellodyne · 02-07-2002, 10:33 PM

And where the sub is tucked away. Not sure about the placement yet, I'm trying to see if the fact that half the woofer is covered by DVDs (and toys) affects the sound:

Rope lights!! Cool idea! That must be frickin' awesome for ambient lighting!

Hey! Where did you get Bender?

Louie · 02-08-2002, 02:19 AM

hey your center speaker is the same as me, lol!

The Riddler · 02-08-2002, 01:28 PM

Love the equipment.....But that 18" Talking ASH has got to be the coolest thing on your "display" shelf!!!

Oscar Antonio M · 07-15-2002, 09:39 PM

Jellodyn, i know this is kind of a stupid question, but where can i get the Futurama toys?

Prancer · 07-16-2002, 11:03 AM

Jellodyne,

Like some of the other members, I really dig those shelves. They look good.

I also love the choice of color for the wall. That is very nice.

Cool setup!!!
