My man cave is a dedicated home cinema. I have been designing and building this over the past 2 years and is still a work in progress. Thankfully the room didn’t suffer damage during the two major Christchurch earthquakes. I think this was mainly due to lining the walls with 18mm MDF rather than gib. The front wall and lower half of the side walls are covered with acoustic treatment and the top half and suspended ceiling with a dark stained Brownwood ply. The back wall will eventually have shelving. The screen (DIY Theatre paint on 9mm MDF) is hinged so it can be folded up to the ceiling to reveal a Samsung plasma for general TV viewing. The screen has masking to change the ratio from 16×9 to 2:35:1. There are two rows of 4 seater couches with the back row on a 150mm platform. All that’s left to do is finish the lighting (hopefully remote dimmable), a cabinet for the gear (a mix of Denon, Kenwood, Polk, Oppo, Panasonic and Epson) and the never ending pursuit of equipment upgrading.
The change is purely aesthetic, with Ovi Music, Ovi Maps, Ovi Share and all other internet-based services continuing to operate as normal, the company says.
The satellites all work on International Atomic Time, the high-precision time standard based on Earth’s equipotential surface, emitting day, date and time signals picked up by the watch.
