Description: The Bates Family Theatre was completed in October of 2006. It was designed by us; the owners, Bob & Tina Bates. The theatre is 27 feet long and 19 feet wide and features a 123” wall screen with remote control custom made stage curtains. The window curtains were also custom made to match the stage curtains. There are seven red leather, electronic controlled, reclining chairs in the theatre, three in the front and four in the back. There is a Sony VPLVW110, (1080P), ceiling mount projector plus a small room for all the audio and stereo components. Mounted on the walls are seven B&W speakers plus two Velodyne floor sub woofers. All functions of the theatre are controlled by a Control 4 wireless touch pad which operates the curtains, the Sony projector, two DVD players, a VCR, Satellite TV, music, lights, and temperature. Best of all we never have to leave our seats to control the entire theatre!
