Home cinema

In fact, if you open Apple music, if you're an Apple music subscriber, open the music app on Mac OS, and you'll see if you go into the settings, there is a setting there to allow for HDMI pass through, which allows you to have the highest possible audio quality.

If I connect my Mac book pro over HDMI, uh, to my home theater receiver over using HDMI pass-through, I am sending the raw data from that computer into the receiver.

That is the highest quality possible way you can get audio into it.

So this is insane to me.

Well, now that you said that, I'm curious.

Well, this is still smart home tangential, but you mentioned you got the new Apple TV for your home theater.

What do you do for your home theater type speaker setup?

I don't.

I don't have one.

...

these in your home cinema? I've only ever encountered them once, and this was back in the days of DVD where, um, the local shop where I used to buy my DVDs from, they were imported, um, was doing a demo of Super Speedway.

Mm-hmm.

And they had just put in these butt-kickers under the seats in there.

Because

I love the two home theater HomePod setup, right? I have two second-gen HomePods and Apple TV.

I think it sounds really good for the size of those speakers.

People come around my house, they're always impressed.

You can definitely buy other home surround sound speaker systems that are comparative, right? Or at least are similar and about the same pricing, if not cheaper.

But I like the way the HomePods work.

The HomePods 2nd Gen with Home Theater has worked so well for me.

I did the leap of faith and I'm doing it at least for the sake of the podcast.

Hey, home theater nerds, welcome to the Bright Side Home Theater Podcast, a multi-award-winning, giving and receiving home theater podcast.

It's all about the experiences, the sights-

The sounds, the scenes

Um, but what I ended up doing is I did, I think I, like, ChatGPT'd or whatever, AI, whatever service.

Mm.

And I try, I'm like, "Uh, vampire movies that are good home theater would be a good home theater movie."

Mm.

Yeah.

Um, so as we end, so for each of you, since this is gonna be available on VOD and people are gonna watch it in their homes, what is your home theater experience? Like, what...

Like, do you have a ritual of, like, do you sit down? Do you make popcorn? Like, what is a home viewing movie for you now?

Um, yeah, it's usually, like, a Friday, Saturday night, and it's usually, like, before dinner for whatever reason.

[laughs]

[laughs] What about you? What's your, what's your...

Do you have a home theater system? Like, what do you do?

I do.

Also in Kino geh ich wegen 'nem Film auf jeden Fall nicht, ja.

Aber wenn das daheim im, im Homekino läuft, im Home Cinema oder irgendwo auf den Streamingdiensten, von mir aus gerne, ja.

Ähm, aber wer den Film machen soll, das ist jetzt interessant.

Battlefield soll offenbar von Sony gemacht werden.

We appear.

Is this thing on? Yeah, could you get me out of here? Something's weird.

How you doing? John Mensaw's in.

Hey, buddy.

So happy Home Theater Tuesday.

Good to see you.

I don't know.

I could see myself lightly getting into speakers, mostly for home theater, though.

I would love if I, you know, Bitcoin.

I

end

up with a nice career one day.

Um, yeah, I could see like, uh, I would love to make a home theater.

I would love to get like a nice projector mounted on the ceiling, like get a, you know, a hundred inch or, you know, maybe, I mean, a hundred inches isn't actually that big, you know, so I guess it'd be more like what, 150, 200 inches.
