dear neighbours,

take note of these impt small issues :

1) remember to buy ur sound system/dvd player early.

for my case, i bought my dvd player together with my tv. Arranged for delivery on the same day. The electrical shop last min say that my dvd player no stock! so...my tv was delivered as per schedule. Delivery and mounting tv is done by different group of pple. so my tv was installed without the dvd player

i ended up have to unmount and mount the tv after i bought my dvd player. quite troublesome..cos the tv is v heavy and its not easy to mount it back

so anyone whose reno is almost done, do remember to buy dvd player first.

once u buy ur dvd player/sound system, its better that u decide how u gg to place ur system..(cos the dangling wires can be quite annoying. plan early so that u can do something abt the location of the speakers)

for those who bought samsung tv free dvd player, u will face the same issue with me too -> unmount tv and mount back when u collect ur player)

Just to add on...

If you are doing a feature wall for your flat panel display, get the audio pple to lay the wiring/cable for both the TV, AV equipment and speakers before the feature wall is up. Also includes the position of the speakers if mounting front and centre speakers.

That way, it will be easier when the others equipments comes...

Also consider whether 1 HDMI cable is enough, whether do u need other cables running from your TV... to the AV equipment/Setup Box/5.1 Speakers...

thanks for that...

btw, you bought samsung tv .. lcd?

mine is toshiba lcd..then i bought pioneer sound system separately

for the samsung with free dvd player, u need to go collect the dvd player urself..hence the tv will be installed first

Yang Guo - my sockets are inside my TV console, so the wiring will be downwards, through the top of the console... don't think there'll be a lot of exposed wires right?

Hi onepostwonder,

my sockets inside my tv console also.. i am thinking of asking them to drill 2 holes on the tv console, but afraid will spoilt the look of the tv console..how ah?

will u be doing cutting holes on ur tv console also?

see ah, if the speaker wire from downwards through the top of the console,then the speaker will be directly below ur tv right? - mine is like that also..so i will have 5 exposed wires (2main,2surround,1center), but i dont want to see the exposed wire leh..my wire is white somemore,so obvious )

so if drill hole on the tv console:

the wire will be from the player --> out from the hole directly and ur speaker placed on top of the tv console

if dont drill hole

the wire goes from the player --> to feature wall --> out of the feature wall, ie.behind the tv. --> down to the tv console..so u can see the wires exposed

can show a close up of the wiring?

u know some computer tables have holes and some sort of cover to put wires through? we can use that cover... so i'll probably ask for holes to be made on top of the console

u can colour the wires

This is really a good advertisment for sale of the flat.

Hi. I make a mistake by waiting for HDB for following up the internet issue. Just call Starhub to come over and activate it. Pay $32.10 on the spot & U will get your internet immd. Alternatively, u can follow our neighbour advise in page 115.

Cheers,

Monkeybone

Thanks. hubby already tried to fix it and called starhub but starhub confirmed our blk won't gt internet connection till HDB applies for it!!
