hi Pedro,
the calculator says that the projector should be between 3.8m and 5.1m from the screen. I'd have it at about the 5m mark. Rodda may have a different opinion. I'd like to hear from him on this one too.

Re: "BIG" HOME THEATRE ROOKIE "HELP" 23Feb 26, 2011 3:17 pm I think that would be fine Pedro, Most modern projectors have the ability to change the throw distance quite a way. As an example, the Epson TW3600 for a 110inch diagonal can be placed between 3.3m and 7 metres away from the screen. Focus can also be adjusted at any distance so it shouldn't be a problem either.

If it is single storey then I would not be too concerned. Make sure the HDMI cable is long enough to hang down through the ceiling and to the projector. In this case I would say a 10 metre would be suitable. The power point should be mounted inside the ceiling and the cable can be run down the projector mount (concealed) for a custom finish. Of course if it 2 below a second storey this is different! Re: "BIG" HOME THEATRE ROOKIE "HELP" 25Feb 27, 2011 3:16 pm Hi matt, it is a 2 story, the electrician has allowed for a 10mt HDMI cable. I dont know what his plans are for the power but i will confirm it. thanks https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=37134 THE THREAD https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35962 THE BLOG! http://pedrosinspiredbeauty.blogspot.com/ BRICKS BRICKS ARE FINISHED...

Re: "BIG" HOME THEATRE ROOKIE "HELP" 26Feb 28, 2011 9:27 am If you settle on a projector then you can visit the maker's web site and use their projector calculator to determine the distance/range for it. If you have not settled on a projector then for a 100" screen I'd say the average projection distance is about 4m, and if you get an LCD (or a JVC D-ILA for that matter) they have a fair zoom range so you won't get caugth out.
