Hi folks,
So glad to find this site. A greeting hello and also an apology in advance if these questions seem a bit silly.
It pertains to whether you all think I need to hire a professional home theater installer for what I want to do??
For a larger residential (both indoor and adjoining outside) living space with multiple seating areas, I plan to build a rolling TV cart system that we can move to various seating areas. On an Onkron rolling cart (55"-80" capability), I will mount a Samsung 65" QLED, a Yamaha soundbar with a universal tv bracket with keyhole adapter, an Apple TV -- all plugged into a 600V UPS (I got the battery backup surge protector so when I change outlets, the devices wont need to reset) Originally, I was going to include a DirecTV wireless genie but thanks to good internet service, I plan to cut the cord ( and likely use the Apple Tv even though the Samsung is a smart tv with similar apps--using a media streamer is still recommended even with smart tv ,right?)
Anyway, I'm moderately handy and the thought of putting this system together seems fun. My concern is that when I read individual reviews of the components-- for example the TV cart, there's a guy (who said he had to get longer bolts to make his TV work on the stand).. or for a guy reviewing my soundbar, he mentioned that to make Netflix and some other apps be heard from the soundbar, it required a configuration of the optical cable.. etc..
Bottom line, I could assemble this myself but do you all think I should get a pro just for the unanticipated problems?? Part of me hates for an hourly charge to be ticking while the TV and components update firmware and software but don't know if its better to just pay a pro to optimize the system right out of the box?? Thoughts please??
Thanks!
