When deciding to buy a Projector... Nowadays, cinema projectors are making inroads into homes and for good reasons too. As most of us deliberate whether it is a good decision to install a projector for home cinema, here are the pros and cons to be considered before going for a projector.. Pros : 1. Big Wide Silver Screen Impact - The most obvious reason remains that only a projector can provide the most immersive entertainment ever. It is definitely more absorbing to watch a 100 inch image compared to 40 or even a 65 inch normally afforded by LED TVs. Every detail is astonishingly apparent when the screen fills your entire field of view. 2. Easier on the eyes - It is no denying that watching a reflected light on a screen made of fabric is more relaxing to watch than staring into the direct light source of televisions. There are none of the usual symptoms of fatigue, tired eyes syndromes usually associated with television image. 3. No glare of light associated with the reflective surfaces of television. 4. Cost factor - When comparing the ratio of cost per sq inch image, the projector turns out a clear winner than a television. While it would cost a bomb to invest into a TV of 100 inch screen size, a most affordable projector is meant to give that image size naturally. Yet we want to watch on bigger and bigger displays, for which only a projector can come to the rescue. Now while the benefits are far too numerous, one main hindrance when setting up the projector is consideration to darken the room or keep the light source away from the screen. Achieving this can be somewhat of a challenge for many, and perhaps it is for this reason alone, that we compromise on the image size and end up getting just a TV for our movie viewing pleasure. But if this limitation can be worked around with, a projector can make your every night into a blockbuster and whether you are watching your favorite flix or enjoying sports, you are bound to get hooked on to the bigger sized images provided from the projector alone. We, at Auditro, deal mainly into two brands of projectors - Sony and Optoma and we even got the Sony 4K model on display.

Home Automation is not a foreign concept anymore and as people are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of taking control of the entire home on their fingertips, the list of users, seem to be ever growing. We are into providing Control and Automation from Raylogic. Raylogic is India's first comprehensive automation system manufacturing company providing world class control and automation at pocket - friendly prices. Till date, they have completed countless installations across India for residential complexes and commercial spaces alike. Briefly putting, here are what you can do with Automation : 1. Control everything from lights, fans, Air conditioning, all kinds of electronic devices like TV, projectors, Amplifiers, basically anything that uses a remote. 2. Integrate several devices at once to set scenes. For eg, at one push, trigger several events simultaneously like dimming the lights, rolling the screen down, closing the curtains, starting the air conditioner, turning on the projector, blu ray player and amplifier so you just sit back and enjoy the show. 3. Similarly, create different lighting moods. Set scenes for soft light, bright light. 4. Integrate with third party devices like ip cameras, alarms, door locks, etc for overall control. The automation demo is available at our Park Street showroom.

Stereo or Home Theater As you realize, both are very different concepts laying a very different approach to how your soundtrack is rendered. Simply speaking, a stereo is a 2 channel concept that is meant to render the music as it is intended to be. while a home theater is defined by surround sound concept that conveys information from various channels located at front - left, right and center and rear. However, it will be too simplistic to state that a stereo is merely for music and AVR (amp required for home theater) is just for movies and it is possible to play vice versa as well. what then prompts the buyer to go for either?? Let us examine the 2 concepts in more detail. While an integrated stereo amplifier has only the most traditional connectivity option - in most cases multiple analog inputs and 2 binding posts for speakers, the AVRs leave you spoilt for choices. There's AirPlay, Bluetooth, UsB, wifi to name a few apart from the usual connectivity options like HDMI , coaxial, optical and of course the analog. Since movies are decoded with Dolby surround sound , an AVR is supposed to have inputs that can support this concept. In addition one need not buy a separate cd player or network player for streaming as an AVR is usually equipped with all streaming services currently available. So in a sense, it's a complete package. So the difference then lies essentially in the quality of sound in 2 channel mode. While the Stereo is meant to convey the purest form of sound wherein every detail, guitar string and artist's vocal vibrations are astonishingly apparent, such intrinsic detailing cannot be expected out of an AVR. But for most people seeking to get the most out of their movie and music in equal measure, an AVR remains the most sought after option. Also one needs to invest in a really good quality DAC when hooking up a stereo integrated amp otherwise he is better off buying an AVR itself. So it cannot be argued that a stereo is necessarily a cheaper option. Personally, AVR setup to me is more viable for homes as one cannot just exclude the movies and tv shows which are better enjoyed on AVRs than stereo and the systems available today, particularly Marantz AVRs such as models NR 1506 , SR 5011, SE 6011 leaves nothing lacking even where 2 channel stereo sound is concerned from the AVRs .

To mention a few, it has HDMI connectivity, can read videos, images and even presentations straight off your pen drives, amongst many other things. Now you can carry your big screen experience with you every where. We played some HD movies and the experience was pretty theatrical. Highly recommend for those on the move always and need to carry a projector for work or pleasure.

Grab the amazing Arcam UDP411 at this amazingly low price of only Rs. 96750/- (MRP 129000). This is an audiophile grade Blu-Ray and Media Player capable to play your entire movie and music content via discs and HDD drives. It is also a DLNA player capable of streaming music and videos from your iphones and ipads through its own music life app. Few specialist manufactures have ever stepped up to the plate where development of video playback is concerned. The technological know-how required for the successful design of high performance video sources is vast. With more than ten years of digital video experience, not to mention global recognition of its efforts, Arcam is proud to announce the arrival of it’s newest disc player, the UDP411. The UDP411 embraces movie and music playback, offering outstanding performance in both disciplines. Unlike most Blu-Ray machines music from SACD & CD is delivered with outstanding quality while movie performance with either 2D or 3D films is to the very highest standards currently available. Using Arcam’s unique and hard won engineering expertise the UDP411 delivers a truly emotional portrayal of your favourite discs, delivering blockbuster experiences straight to your arm chair. The UDP411 uses a very simple, almost direct video path from the disc or network video with upscaling of all video sources up to 4k to its ultra-high precision outputs. This short path approach allows pictures to be presented without unintentional artefacts and delivers the kind of pristine picture quality that will truly captivate any viewer. Using broadcast quality digital video clocks during processing means the resulting picture quality is simply stunning. To ensure the UDP411’s music performance meets the same “reference” standards the class leading TI/Burr Brown PCM1794 digital to analogue converter (DAC) is used. This device, coupled with a linear phase Bessel output filter and high precision re-clocking system results in audio quality comparable to a dedicated audiophile CD player. Even the UDP411’s power supply has been specially designed for outright performance. Discrete sub-regulated power supplies on the drive, audio and DAC boards deliver significant benefits to the overall performance of each element and thus allow each section to work truly independently and without interference. Just give a call to audition this brilliant piece of innovation.
