STUDY DENON

Overview
This project involved Finite
Solutions being commissioned to retrofit a dedicated
cinema room into a clients new residence in Wakefield.
The brief
The client wanted a good quality
dedicated cinema room which would be contemporary
in style to match the design of the rest of the home.
Budget
Approximately
£15,000 to £25,000. |

Seating
The client was very keen to include authentic cinema seating
into the cinema room, but was very exacting in their requirement
for dark brown leather, electric reclinable, and a double
centre seat.
We worked with the interior design to colour match the other
natural materials within the room to create the exact look
the client demanded.
The natural choice for this installation was the Lay-z-boy
matinee series cinema seating. Each chair is fully reclinable
using a small electronic button on each armrest. Cup holders
and drinks trays then go to create the authentic cinema
experience.

Cabinetry
Cabinetry is always a challenging aspect of every installation.
In this instance the client wanted all the equipment to
be kept out of sight, but to be easily accessible when required.
The final choice of cabinet was actually a standard piece
of living room furniture customised by us to allow all the
equipment to be contained within it. We added a bespoke
fan system to keep everything well ventilated.
The top panel drops down to keep everything out of sight,
and the Harmony 895 all-in-one remote control uses an RF
control system, where the remote does not need infra red
line of sight to function. |

Loudspeakers
Keeping in line with the contemporary design requirements.
the speakers and subwoofer that we
specified were Anthony Gallo Nucleus Ti satellite speakers
with the MPS subwoofer.
The matching of the speakers to the subwoofer produces some
really good audio results for the budget, and also the spherical
subtle nature of the satellite speakers produces a really
powerful sound for their size.
The client was actually so impressed with the speakers,
both sonically and aesthetically that we were commissioned
to install another set in the properties snooker room. |

Projector
The Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector was mounted at the back of the
room to keep the install as subtle as possible. All cables
were retro fitted into the ceiling, back to the equipment
cabinet so that no cables were visible to the client.
For this budget bracket, the Z4 projector represents extremely
good value for money and its silver colour also complements
the other stainless steel equipment within the room.
Sky High Definition, DVD, Terrestrial TV, and even VCR were
incorporated into the system to allow the client to make the
very most of the cinema room. |

Amplifier, DVD player and Screen
A 7ft Beamax fixed screen
provides a large, good quality canvas for the picture and
really created the 'wow' factor for the client. This combined
with the Denon DVD-3910 and the Denon AVR-4306 with HDMI-output,
video conversion with 1080i upscaling produced some stunning
visual results.
The Denon AVR-4306 also is extremely well future proofed
with 1080p HDMI-output to support high definition DVD when
it is released.
Overall the client was enormously happy with the end result,
and we have already had many recommendations to other clients
as a testament to just how pleased they were.
