As far as home-theater equipment goes, Jim wanted to keep things simple and inexpensive. He has just a receiver, Blu-ray player, satellite box and HDMI switch for the external wall-mounted auxiliary inputs. The small CRT monitor at the bottom was connected to the security cameras at one point. The devices are controlled by a powered IR repeater. That makes it easy to point the programmable remote (Logitech Harmony 650) at one IR receiver at the top of the cabinet and control all devices.
This is his equipment list:
Projector: Sony VPL-HS20
Receiver: Yamaha HTR-5590
Blu-ray player: Sony BDP-S3100
Video Source: Dish Network, Wireless Joey paired to a 16-tuner Dish Hopper 3
Front Speakers: Klipsch SB-2 bookshelf

Subwoofer: Klipsch KSW-10
Rear speakers: Yamaha NS-AW190
