|
|
I'm about to finish my basement and include a home theater. Unfortunately the space that I am allowed to alot to a home theater is just over 16' long, and i was hoping to put a riser for a 2nd row. to get a 96" wide screen it looks like the distance to the front feet (according to the calculator i have downloaded) is 152". now if i build a torus like my last theater, i'll be loosing close to a foot, so the back of pj will be pretty dang close to the back wall. should i kill the torus idea to save some precious length?
I remember when i set up my 8500 maximizing the raster and then moving the pj forward. Does anyone have an edjumacated guess what the throw distance or distance to front foot is? if i can't make this work, i might have to go to the "not so dark" side... 
oh, also, anybody have the length of the 9500lc in memory from lense to the back connectors?
thanks boys!

edit: i forgot to mention, the pj has gt17 lenses

My throw distance if 144" for my 120" wide screen for my 9500 with maximized rasters. Using a throw distance of 152" for a 96" screen would leave a lot of unused phosphur. I would expect a throw distance of 110" to 120" would be better.

The throw distance for all the common lenses (HD10L, HD10, GT17, HD10F) are almost exactly the same and only very by a couple inches.

HI rob, welcome back. Good to see your new home theatre is still keeping in good taste with an awesome CRT.

man that sure was a long time ago, I looked at some pics the other day from back then, when our kids were just being born. I hope you haven't aged as much as I have in the last 5 years

thanks draganm! yeah it was a while ago. Some days i feel like an old man. funny thing is I can work from 8am to 10pm on the new home theater and wake up the next day and do it again without complaint...suprising what a little motivation can do for one's productivity.... any brides out there lurking in this forum should take note!!!
