Mrs Dogwood's campaign to redesign the lounge continues apace. I've got a couple of days off work, so I set to creating some room in the garage by taking a car full of rubbish up to the dump. After some lunch we set off for Rotherham to pick up a new, solid oak tv cabinet. We were originally supposed to be getting one from Argos, but the one they had in stock was damaged and the one that we waited in all day for got 'lost' in transit. The cheeky sods then tried not to refund the delivery charge for the non existant delivery. Anyhoo, they've lost a sale and Furniture Express have gained one.
Being solid oak, the cabinet was rather heavy but it just about fitted into the back of the car and we got it home with no problems. The problems started with unplugging the tv, dvd, vcr, sky and the xbox and then plugging them all back in the right order. The surround sound worked fine, first time, but the next test showed no picture from sky on the tv. I swapped the cables round and changed the setup and it worked. The final test was connecting the xbox up via an rgb scart with an optical cable to the amplifier for 5.1 sound. Success, and it sounds earth shatteringly good on things like Mech Assault now.
Thankyou Mrs Dogwood for creating such a relaxing room!
