On Sunday February 25th, 2012 my brother-in-law handed down his original Xbox. I owned one of these back when they first came out but never really used it. I sold my original version to a friend because at the time I was a die hard PlayStation 2 user. The addition of the Xbox has some connectivity problems that I will have to address in order to connect all three consoles to the AVR.
Each console, PlayStation 2, Wii and Xbox, all have component cable connections. My AVR, the Onkyo TX-NR609 only has two component cable connections. I will have to research and find a component cable switch or install component cable extensions that let me swap out each console. I say swap out because of space limitations in the new component rack. I could not have all three consoles connected and stored in the component rack without creating a cluttered/stuffed look.
I am also researching window tint for the new component rack. The glass doors are clear and when watching movies at night I like to have a completely dark room. The trick will be finding a film that letting IR signals pass through and block out the LED lights from the components inside. Additionally I am looking at added a sensor that will light up LED strips inside the cabinet when the doors are opened. I think it would be a cool trick and add a custom look to the cabinet.
For now my next major purchase will be new front left, center, front right and subwoofer speakers. I have been spending a lot of research time in this category, and you can see from my previous posts that it has not been a clear and easy path for me. I have come full circle and now I am considering either the Polk Audio TSi series or NHT SuperZero 2.0.
That is all for now. Thank you for reading.
