First, primer
(Some nonsense, if you want to see the main content, please jump directly to the second section "Display Devices")
I am an otaku, 30+, unmarried single (see through), living in the purchased rough house, and I do not consider the decoration. Engaged in art education, perhaps for professional reasons, hobby music and movies, Japanese drama, and digital technology. Do not like to see online, feel that the code rate is too low, so like to download to see, the home broadband is telecommunications 50M, with Thunder full speed download can reach 5.5M/s or more, a 1080p about 10 G movie about half Hours can be good, movies finished, feel good, high ratings are not willing to delete, will be collected.
A long time ago downloaded a lot of 720p movies (small monitor at that time), engraved more than a hundred CDs, and later changed the larger display (Dell 24 inches), 720p sharpness is not enough, must be 1080p source. Inadvertently saw an article saying that the time limit for burning CD-ROMs was not as long as expected. Just as the 2.5-inch Western Digital green disk price of 2T also dropped to a reasonable price, the 4.7-g CD-ROM of a 1080p movie would not fit. So consider abandoning the troublesome burning preservation method, change to use the large-capacity hard disk storage. At the beginning, under the movie, I bought a hundred hard disk decks to read the hard disk data. Later, the speed mentioned 50M, the speed is too fast to stop, the next film is too much, a 2T hard disk is not enough. Put it, bought two more. Each read must be inserted into the hard disk base, plugging and unplugging, good trouble, and hurt the hard disk interface, then bite the teeth and bought a 4-disk independent power control of the world hard disk box, which is easy.
I watched a movie for several years in the mode of 24 inch Dell Monitor+Rambler R1900TIII. Unfortunately, the downloaded high-definition movies are all supported on 6-channel DTS and Dolby AC3, but the hardware device does not support 5.1 channels, but also wanted to change a good sound card and 5.1-channel speakers. do. And I think the computer screen is too small, no effect, no need.
But by chance, I changed my mind and had the urge to get a home theater. It was once a visit to his wife's home, to visit his home theater, BOSE's 5.1 audio + Optoma's projection + 110-inch screen + NAS system + Blu-ray's film source, this feeling as much as the cinema Shadow effect. When I returned home and faced my Dell monitor, I couldn't stand it anymore... So I started to learn the basics of my home theater system.
Second, the display device
In the beginning, I also thought about going directly to the projection. Considering for some time, I felt that the projections had the following problems:
1. Projection and installation of the curtain are troublesome, and the equipment that I will prepare now may only be a temporary transition. The house is not renovated and I don't want to do much.
2. Do not intend to engage in the living room, the living room piled up in a mess of debris, want to put the computer room (master bedroom), room space is not enough, the projection is too large, the viewing distance is too short.
3. The large screen on the projector must have a Blu-ray source (the source rate of the 1080P chip is low), and the downloaded Blu-ray source is relatively small, and the file is too large to be suitable for collection. The cost of buying a dish is high.
4 projection of the indoor light requirements are relatively high, not a good point of the blackout curtains and light control, large daytime impact on the viewing effect is relatively large, only the night activities ...
So buy a TV and do your homework on the current situation of the TV. First selected size is 60 inches, the size is relatively large, the price is relatively low. Do not 4K (not to explain), do not smart (300 yuan box full explosion all kinds of smart TV so-called smart, and simple upgrades, directly throw away to buy new), not 3D (chip source, poor results, dark, Tired) To spend money on the display effect, it is enough to restore the TV's simplest display function.
Special zone U disk, equipped with two 1080p high-definition movies, ran to the mall, selected Sharp, Sony, LG and other brands of several high-cost 60-inch LCD TVs meet the requirements measured. The results fancy a LG LCD TV, about 6,000 yuan, basically no function, but the display effect, personally think that is the best. Specially compared next to a more than 10,000 LG60-inch smart 3D TV, the display effect is minimal, true pit!
During the period of contact with the 'worth buying' experience of many TV sets above, I heard about the concept of plasma, so I began to make up for this crazy knowledge and found that the plasma turned out to be an artifact! Various advantages, and 60-inch price even more than a thousand cheaper. So he began to hesitate. Should he not buy plasma? After all, there are too few plasma TVs to choose from. There are no spots in the mall to actually watch. Although there are all kinds of good online, after all, there is no real experience, and there is no end in heart. So ran through the city's shopping malls, and finally saw a Changhong 51-inch low-end plasma in the corner of Suning 2 stores, the resolution is very slag residue, holding a try attitude, playing the last U disk The film and the mall are very bright, but even then, when I see the picture (the feeling of the picture, that is the feeling of the movie), I decide it resolutely, and it must be plasma.
LG60 inch plasma <br> shopping malls can no longer buy 60-inch 1080p plasma, only to rely on electricity providers. Can buy 60-inch plasma, only LG and Samsung, I heard that Samsung's use of Pentile arrangement, in the mobile phone evaluation I heard this opportunistic P row mode, as Samsung plasma is not too lazy to go to research, right LG has a good impression. Just buy LG. E-commerce preferred Jingdong, the results PB560, PN660 we have been no goods here, and finally in Yi Xun bought a PB560, 4799 yuan, the price is also okay. I heard that Yi Xun was acquired by Jingdong. The result was indeed true. The customer confirmed that the order phone and logistics were all Jingdong. This was relieved. (purchase at the end of August 2014)
The TV arrived at home and found a colleague. He had a good amount on the wall. He bored the drilled arm of Nima Diamonds. He loaded a 50kg-loaded music song stand bought in Jingdong and watched the movie on the wall. Satisfaction with all OK, but also can be regarded as the last train I took the plasma, and it is correct! Later, a few friends came to the house to play, all Nima would buy me this plasma, bought but also I help to install, pit!
At home watching for six months, in fact, I think the 60-inch is still a little small, if you can achieve 70-inch just fine, so watching the movie will be a stronger sense of substitution. Maybe you will ask if I am too far away from watching? As you can see in the figure below, my viewing distance is actually closer than the recommended viewing distance of the 60-inch TV. The distance from the sofa to the screen is only 2 meters. Maybe it's because the plasma doesn't hurt the eyes. I've never had any discomfort with me and my little friends. As for the large-screen LCD TVs, if you look too close and you don't feel comfortable, then I don't know. It is absolutely impossible for the plasma to delist, and it is absolutely impossible to buy 70-inch plasma. It is only expected that OLED TVs can develop rapidly, prices will drop, or the latest QLED TVs can develop.
Personal advice for everyone to buy a TV: Don't buy smart TVs, don't buy 3D TVs, don't buy any 4K TVs, they're all marketing gimmicks, they don’t work. .
Third, the playback equipment
If your display device is not a large-size projector, but a 60-inch or so television, Blu-ray player, HTPC is not necessary, and the current Android TV box is sufficient.
Test 1 (large size projection):
I played the 1080P movie I downloaded on the 110-inch projection of my friend's home (usually around 10 G). The effect was indeed much worse than the 40G ISO Blu-ray source, whether it was the clarity of the picture or the clarity of the sound. Both the degree and the sound field feel inferior. So, ah, on the projection, must be on the Blu-ray device and Blu-ray source, or no effect.
Test 2 (60 inch plasma):
On my 60-inch device at home, I tried to play a high-yielding film source near Blu-ray and a normal 1080P bit rate. The effect was different, but the difference was not significant. I could not feel it without careful observation. I think it is limited by the size of the screen, so the Blu-ray source and the 1080P source do not appear to be as big as the projection. As an entry-level 60-inch TV home theater system, due to the control of input costs, if only to watch movies, the upper Blu-ray source and Blu-ray player personally feel a little extravagant, with a 300 yuan Android box also enough.
Mi Box
The selection of millet is mainly about its ecology and ease of use and humanity. Millet Box Plus: Can support 4K (though not 4K), indicating strong performance; 2G storage, no card; Android system, interface optimization, easy to use, millet ecosystem trustworthy; supports most video formats, and supports USB And WiFi wireless read files; support for loading subtitle files like, you can adjust the subtitle parameters like; can audio coaxial output, this is very important, related to the final 5.1-channel digital output of the theater system can be achieved.
The millet box is really too small compared to other playback devices. It is only about the size of the palm, but it is such a small box that is the central hub of the entire home theater system. The function of the millet box is to read and output the video signal to the TV and the audio signal to the audio.
Read:
1. Millet box USB2.0 port and OTG port can read U disk, mobile hard disk inside the video file;
2. Xiaomi box can insert Micro-SD card, read the file inside;
3. The millet box is connected to the Internet wirelessly via a USB-to-NIC cable or a 2.4 GHz/5 GHz dual-band WiFi module, and an APP is installed to watch online TV. I installed the 'TV 2.0' and it works well. I don't need a cable set-top box or a telecommunications iTV. I have never seen the millet box's own network program. I am too lazy to read it. Anyway, I want to see what I can download.
4. The millet box can read the files on the NAS home cloud drive through wired or WiFi wirelessly. I bought a NAS router for the Xiaomi 699. It's okay. The entry-level NAS is sometimes not stable. On the computer with the millet router client to send the movie seed file to the millet router (mobile phones and office computers can send seed to the millet router at home), let it download, the computer can also turn off, as long as your millet routing is open. Ready to use the box to wirelessly read the movie files inside the millet router. It is convenient to copy to the mobile hard disk. The millet box will automatically load subtitles. I also like to watch American TV dramas and Japanese TV dramas. When I don't need TVs, I use my Sony Xperia Z Ultra to lie in bed and WIFI wirelessly reads TV series downloaded from my router. In any case, in general, I like to download, do not like to watch online, download the source of the film is clear, and the basic look does not support 5.1 channel.
The millet router is the cloud of the whole family. The movies, TV shows, pictures, and documents downloaded in the inside can be read by any smart device in your home WiFi environment. Computers, TVs, mobile phones, and tablets can all be read. Take the file inside. This is also my reason why this home theater can be called 'cloud system' - of course, this is a private cloud within the home, the box and routing also support Thunder and Baidu's public cloud, I never tried to say no more Now. Later, I will also purchase millet purifiers and smart sockets to enrich my simple smart home system.
Output:
Video: The box reads and decodes the video portion of the movie file, and transmits the video signal to the TV through the HDMI interface, allowing us to see the image on the TV.
Audio: The box does not decode the audio portion of the movie file, only reads it, and outputs the audio digital signal directly to the audio decoder via the coaxial or optical fiber. The decoded audio is delivered to the amplifier with a decoder outside the box. Dealing with, there is no matter what the box. Therefore, you must buy a TV box that supports audio coaxial output or fiber output. This is a must-have condition for implementing a 5.1-channel home theater.
The output of the millet box is coaxial, and there is an output interface with the 3.5mm composite audio and video output. You need to buy a 3.5mm coaxial cable, a 3.5mm AV connector to the millet box, and the other end to connect the amplifier. Coaxial input port can be selected in the millet box parameters RAW output, so that it can be.
In fact, the latest 1G version of the millet box enhanced version not only memory shrink (I bought the old version of 2G), and you look at the parameters carefully, this product is no longer supporting Dolby Dolby decoding, but only supports DTS decoding, Do not know what the reason for the bird. But I tell you, as long as he supports digital audio output (SPDIF), it does not matter. Friends bought the latest 1G version of the millet box enhanced version, output to the amplifier with the coaxial cable, the same can be decoded Dolby Dolby's film source, rest assured.
Fourth, audio equipment
This article is called "Home Theater System." The 6-channel 5.1 audio output is the key to what can be called a "theater." Acoustic equipment to achieve 6-channel 5.1 is to more truly feel more shocking film, to meet this requirement must meet several conditions:
1. The movie file you downloaded must support 6 channels, which is usually [DTS 6 channel], and a few is [Dolby AC3 6 channel];
2. You need a playback device that can support digital coaxial or optical output audio, such as the enhanced version of the millet box;
3. You need a power amplifier that can decode [DTS 6-channel] [Dolby AC3 6-channel];
4. You need a set of 6-channel 5.1 speakers.
The general home theater combination is to buy a decoding amplifier and buy 6 more boxes. There are also many 6-channel 5.1 speakers that come with amplifiers, but they only have power amplification and no decoding. So this question is very interesting, there are many combinations. I chose the most convenient integrated solution, decoding + amplifier + speaker package solution, peace of mind.
Edifier S5.1 MKII
Used walkers, often see [digital more] audio device evaluation, that Edifier is still relatively reliable domestic manufacturers. Decode + amplifier + speaker integration solution, Dolby, DTS dual certification, true digital 6-channel 5.1, and support for coaxial and optical digital audio input.
There is also a Logitech Z906 with the same features, and it feels that it is more suitable for the desktop 5.1 system, and the 5 speakers treble and midrange without crossover, are single speakers, are plastic. The walker is a bit more expensive, but it is still acceptable and looks more suitable for home theater systems. Edifier S5.1 MKII subwoofer is 10 inches, too big! It supports 6 channels to adjust the volume individually. I generally lower the bass unit's sound by two steps. I am afraid that people who are downstairs will have the strongest penetrating power and resonance.
In fact, you look carefully in Jingdong, under the home theater section, there are many traditional audio manufacturers, such as Philips, Sony, Pioneer, their 5.1 also has an integrated solution, more than 1,000 prices are not expensive. And some also support 7.1-channel Dolby HD and DTS HD decoding, a lot of features, but always make people feel that the traditional columnar sound system and brand is more suitable for traditional home theater. Our generation of young people after the 80s are transitioning from the computer system. The cognition of the brand is more inclined to the computer and internet brands such as Logitech, Cruiser, and Xiaomi. It feels more technological, more professional, and more agreeable. sense. It also shows from the side that our era is a time for technology reshuffling. Many traditional home appliance manufacturers may not be able to Switch Internet thinking and update brand audiences and brand image. Perhaps their products are more cost-effective themselves, but not necessarily It is trusted by young people.
V. Summary
At this point, I briefly introduced this million-level family cloud theater system, from the download, cloud storage, transmission, playback, decoding, display, audio, a number of aspects of this set of system integration solutions. This is a relatively cost-effective, entry-level system, but it actually built a complete system that can achieve the initial home theater viewing effect. In the future, when it is not bad, we can use this architecture to replace higher-end and more enjoyable home theaters.
The first time I wrote a review, it was mainly during the two-times friends who had a set of home theater systems that were almost the same as mine (always been imitated). They often annoyed their questions and wanted to write a complete text to deal with them. Kind of reaching out to the party.
In addition, the most important thing is that I learned a lot of knowledge on 'It's worth buying'. In order to repay and thank you, I wrote my homework for these lessons and I hope that I can help those who are interested. There must be a lot of deficiencies in the article or even the wrong place. I hope netizens correct me and give mercy to them, lightly spray!
Sixth, poetry
A sense of satisfaction that you can escape from the turbid world you are in at any time. It is there to open the big screen and the 5.1 sound field. At any time you can enter the world where the longing world enters the movie. They will drown you.
It's more like a ceremony to turn off the lights on the blinds and turn on those switches in the dark space where the LEDs of the device are blinking
Opening screen ....
You go in
