Service / Home cinema

Projector & screen installation, Sydney.

A projector is the closest thing to a real cinema you can put in a house. Done properly it is breathtaking. Done badly it is a blurry, noisy box on a shelf. Ray does it properly.

Projectors reward precision. A few centimetres of mounting position decide whether the image is square, sharp and the right size for your seats, and the room itself decides how good it can look. With forty years in audio and vision, Ray plans the throw distance, the screen, the light control and the sound together, so the picture and the speakers work as one system.

01What a projector install covers

  • Room assessment: seating distance, ambient light, ceiling height and where the screen can go.
  • Projector placement worked out from the throw ratio so the image fills the screen without digital keystone correction.
  • Ceiling mounting into joists, with cable runs for power and HDMI hidden in the ceiling and wall.
  • Fixed-frame, motorised drop-down or ambient-light-rejecting screens, matched to the room.
  • Long HDMI runs done with the right cable or extender so 4K and HDR actually reach the projector.
  • Picture calibration and setup of your sources, streaming boxes and remote.
  • Surround sound or a soundbar integrated with the projector, so the sound comes from the screen.

02Projector or a big TV?

Choose a projector if
You want a 100 inch or larger picture, the room can be darkened, and the space is mainly for movies and sport nights.
Choose a large TV if
The room is bright, it is used all day, or you want the simplest everyday setup. Big TVs are now very good value.
Do both
A TV for daily viewing with a drop-down screen in front for movie night is a popular Sydney living-room solution.

03Common questions

Can you install a projector in a normal living room?

Yes. With a drop-down screen and the right projector, a living room becomes a cinema at night and goes back to normal by day.

Can the cables be hidden in the ceiling?

Yes. Power and HDMI are run through the ceiling and down the wall cavity so nothing hangs from the projector.

What screen size should I get?

It depends on your seating distance and the projector throw. Ray measures the room and recommends a size that fills your view without straining your eyes.

Do you supply the equipment?

Ray can recommend and source projectors, screens and speakers, or install equipment you already own.

Ray was outstanding from the initial phone conversation to job completion. Ray's creative solution to mounting our TV and expertise with antenna placement resulted in better TV reception and a precise TV mounting. We would highly recommend Ray for all antenna/TV work.

Ray was very thorough and completed the job quickly. He talked me through what needed to be done and did a great job. He is coming back to do more work for me.

Ray came the same day and did a good job. He arrived within an hour, removed the old antenna, and put in the new one with new cabling. Now, it's the best reception we've had in years.
Kenneth DBalmain, NSW
★★★★★
Ray was great. He thoroughly investigated our problem before coming up with a quote. We went from having no reception to full reception. He worked very hard under difficult (hot weather) conditions, and really helped us out. I would confidently recommend Ray to anyone needing data or TV cabling or antenna work done. Very punctual, polite and tidy worker. He left no mess. Great price too.

We are pleased with the result. Upon testing he quickly identified the problem, made suggestions, showed me exactly what was wrong, why, and how to resolve it by installing a new antenna. The cost was more than this pensioner was expecting, but the result has been well worth it. I expect to use your service again!
