I’m looking for a place that will give decent instructions on the wiring and technical parts of installing Home theatre systems. I have already tried a few places, but it all seems to be primarily geared at sales knowledge and not actual training and information on the hook ups and settings.
I’d prefer someplace in the DFW area, but any where in the US is satisfactory.
First hand knowledge is a plus.
Do an internet search for CEDA and "ISF". These are two groups who certify designers, installers, calibration.
Also check out "Crestron" – a maker of high-end remote control systems.
I have to warn you – wiring the stuff is easy. The bulk of installation is installing in-wall wiring, custom cabinets, ‘hidden’ speaker and screen installations.
Then you have the gravy job of dedicated media rooms but you have to work in a monied area for this.
A good book is "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget" by F. Alton Everest. It explains a lot of acoustic concepts (the "black magic" of home theater).
