A Basement Home Theater Project:
At Home in Calgary

This picture appeared on the front page of The Calgary Herald newspaper.
If you look closely you won't find any DVD players, there is however a Yamaha Laser Disc unit ... Oh the date the picture appeared is January 1, 1990.
System featured a Lexicon Sound Processor which included a side channel; needed separate amps to run center, main, side, rear and sub-woofer speakers. The 20" TV worked a whole lot better than pic-in-pic and it was also connected to camera in hot tub area for keeping an eye on the kids. The 50" RCA rear projection TV rolled out whereby I could get to the components from the rear.
The home theatre area was a basement project that included an 18 foot bar, wine cellar, billiard area and a 15 x 15 foot dancefloor. I really think this was at the leading edge of the curve.
