I won't be using the roller tray. I do not like to pull out the machines with all the wires here and there...Plus thinking of the possibility of my kids pulling the tray...I rather try and refrain from accidents like such to happen.

I will be using a flap down type of door instead.

Pictures for illustration.

I think your horizontal TV console is something like mine.

I am talking about the roller tray in the compartment. Mine also a flip-down type as you can see.

The roller tray eats up space and need to take note and maybe tell the contractor if you don't want.

Height of console is 25cm. But maximum device height is 12cm due to frame thickness and roller tray.

A suggestion:

For the compartment, try to do internal width of 500mm.

For depth, most normal players have depth of less than 450mm. But you need to cater for power points.

As for internal height, depending on the types of devices you want to put. AVR will require more height usually. Normal players should be less than 100mm.

ooo very informative. so u place all your devices on that pull out platform? does it cost extra to do it? its a fantastic idea.

Yes, you place devices on that platform. Can stack if they are of low height.

Normal players are only 40mm maximum.

Didn't go into such details with the contractor and carpenter .

Only know after it was installed. If don't like, can pull out and remove easily.

I think these stuff are low cost to the contractor, they can provide FOC.

Useful for connecting new devices or changing devices. But we don't do that everyday.

If have and FOC, take lor. If need to top-up, don't want

Thanks thanks...i thought it was just a pull out try w/o the cover. I can consider this actually...I agree it'll be more useful, and the info on the width and depth is reallt good. The internal width and depth will be confirmed by Hubby.

I am using ICI Dulux Light and Space for interior. using Nippon's weatherbond for my balcony. My Dad say both as good. See which one have more colors u prefer.

Call uncle to check. but I know paint is actually managed by Jason. U have Jason's contact?

If you mean AV Receiver (avr). Then you will need one compartment for that. If what you mean is pre-amplifer and power amplifier, think you will need one each.

For audiophile, they prefer to have preamp and power amp. The cd player is also separate from those DVD player.

I would assume you meant avr.

AVR - one compartment.

mio tv box, DVD player - one compartment.

B<B - one compartment (unless you use the AVR for karaoke)

For audiophile, they usually don't do place their devices into our kind of TV console .

Not really nice lor

Expensive system setup must show off mah...plus some have blink blink effect. For example, the tubes.
