I just recently set up a home theater in my newly built house.

After watching the Super Bowl last evening with several of my neighbors
and witht he doors closed, I realized that the ambient room temperature
was uncomfortably warmer than the ajoining rooms.

The room is approximately 14 x 23, with an equipment rack and ceiling
mount DLP projector.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with ventilating
warm air from a HT? Let me know if I've left out any information that
would be useful in providing a recommendation.

thx

I had a similar problem. The issue appeared to be simply having a large
number of 98-degree heaters in the room. :)

I set up fans to circulate air around the room and turned on my HVAC unit to
"On" to move air all the time, but the only solution appeared to be about
half-time when several of the parents went home to put their kids to bed.

I guess 4 slightly over weight beer drinking men might have contributed
to my problem as well...
