Best Home Theater - How To Choose The Best Home Theater System For Yourself

At first it seems like much fun having the cash to indulge and immerse yourself in high-definition video and surround sound, and then you realise there's more decision to be made than just placing a sleek TV panel and a bunch of speakers in the living room. Investing in a home theater system practically takes some planning in order to get the aesthetics right and make yourself comfortable with all the equipment around.

Best Home Theater - How To Choose The Best Home Theater System For Yourself

1. Most readers won't expect this, but first of all, you do need to get your immediate family's agreement to have a home theater right in their midst. Decide whether it's OK to install the system in the living room, or have a separate room dedicated for a most complete TV watching experience while disturbances to other members are minimized.

2. There are 2 main types of flat, high-definition TV: plasma and LCD. Plasma is made for larger size and is closer to 5 figures in pricing than LCD, which can cost as cheaply as less than a thousand. Plasma is the main choice for a TV in a home theater context since LCD TVs have a size limitation.

3. How could you do without a video source? That's the DVD player. Unless you are a discerning aficionado, you'll be spoilt for choice as more advanced technology and decreasing cost continue to impact the market. Almost all come with Dolby® Digital Surround sound (EX 6.1). Watch out for the blu-ray DVD and their players in the coming years.

4. As major TV and radio broadcasts are expected to 'port' into the digital format in the future, the broadcasted material will be encoded with surround sound instructions. A receiver takes advantage by accessing and decoding these instructions to give you superb sounds. Surround sound currently comes in the multi-channel formats of Dolby® Digital EX 6.1 or THX Surround EX(TM) 6.1, DTS, AC-3, etc.

Receivers can connect to most types of players and handle their respective media, including VCR or HiFi and the latest ones are designed to be forward-compatible with future standards and formats. Also, some DVD players have built-in receiver capabilities, and this is great for those looking to do more with less.

5. Speakers usually come in sets of 5: 3 in the front (left, right, center) and 2 at the back (left, right). Check with your dealer that the right speaker is placed for the right position because spoken dialogue and sound effects are handled differently. Note that "surround sound" means separate speakers can play different sounds at the same time. The subwoofer is a different animal as it's in charge of processing low frequency sounds which gives you "deep boom-boom bass". It adds an unexpected dimension to a movie which you would not have 'heard' otherwise.

6. Get the right cables; that means good quality ones. Having the latest equipment is pointless if lousy cables are used for connection as they naturally degrade whatever electrical signals that come through them.

7. Check how you can make your home theater lightning-proof or safe against power surges. You can safeguard your equipment once you take certain precautions. Ask for professional advice.

These are just general guidelines for you to refer, but you can take it from here to build your further interest in home theater equipment or home electronics. If possible, ask for a test at your dealership to get yourself familiarized with the quality you desire. Ask your dealer to help define a proper checklist of things you are looking for to gain clarity. The more ticks you can make on paper, the clearer your mind gets.

Family Home Theater - 8 Reasons Why The Family Home Theater Is Better Then The Local Movie Theater

Young and old, moms and dads, we all love the movies. So when you want to spend some quality family time together what is the best option, the local movie theater or the family home theater?

Family Home Theater - 8 Reasons Why The Family Home Theater Is Better Then The Local Movie Theater

First of all lets run down the advantages of the local movie theater. Unless you have a really, really big house, the movie theater is going to have a bigger screen. Ok, that about does it for the advantages of the local theater. Now for the 8 reasons why the home theater is better.

Ticket cost - Let's start from the moment you walk in the door and pull out your wallet. A family of five is going to have to shell out at least in most cases for tickets alone. For that money you could have nearly three months of unlimited movie rentals with NetFlix or purchase several new movies from the local Wal-mart that could be watched over and over again.

Food cost - Ticket cost is only the beginning. What about the cost of food? What is a movie without a pail of popcorn, candy and a large soda for each of the family? Add at least another or so to the cost (not to mention several pounds to the waste). In your home theater you can pop your own popcorn, have the snacks and drinks of your choice without the inflated food and beverage surcharges.

Cleanliness - The movie theater floor is often littered with popcorn kernels, and sticky soda residue while the chairs are covered with a plethora of flavors of chewed up bubble gum. Your home theater on the other hand can be as clean and well kept as you like. (Of course at my house I must admit there are times where we rival the local cinemas level of cleanliness.)

Comfortable Seating - The local cinema's seats are moderately comfortable at best. Seating is spaced for attendance, not for comfort. For the typical family home theater, comfort is key with the overstuffed, leather theater recliners spaciously separated for plenty of room to kick back and relax.

No cell phones - What movie experience would be complete without the group of noisy, obnoxious teenagers more intent on chatting on the phone with their friends that couldn't make it as opposed to quietly enjoying the movie with their friends who did. Don't get me wrong, a family home theater should not be a silent, stuffy place where you can't laugh with friends, however a little respect for those around you can go a great way towards enjoying a movie.

Potty breaks - Remember when we talked about the large sodas for everyone? Well that soda eventually has to make an exit. Believe me I have missed too many exciting scenes in the movies due to the cries of "Daddy, I really, really can't wait any longer." At the home theater you can actually pause the movie so you and your guests can take a break without trying to struggle through the movie in discomfort.

Visual quality - - It is hard to compete with the sheer size of the screen on the local cinema, although the visual quality of many cinema screens can be lacking, especially when the movie picture begins to degrade after showing for many weeks. With the arrival of High definition projectors and televisions along with HD-DVD and Blu-ray players you can enjoy crystal clear movie visuals in your home.

Sound quality - The local movie theater now is no longer the only ones with surround sound. A moderately priced home theater surround sound system with a subwoofer can surpass many movie theater sound systems. Your family home theater can mesmerize family and guests with crystal clear voices, immersive surround effects and powerful, theater shaking explosions.

It is no wonder that the popularity of family home theaters has skyrocketed over the past decade. If you don't have a room dedicated to the enjoyment of home theater, what are you waiting on? A family home theater is achievable in rooms of all sizes, with budgets great and small, so check out more information on how you can achieve the magic of the movies in the comfort of your own home.

Home Theater Design: Widescreen Or Standard TV For Your Home Theater?

Widescreen TV, with a 16:9 width-to-height ratio, undoubtedly represents the future for home theater designs. However, this does not mean that you should rule out standard TVs with a 4:3 ratio. There are definitely good reasons to go for a 4:3 TV, or even projection screen if your home theater design calls for it. Let's explore the issue.

Home Theater Design: Widescreen Or Standard TV For Your Home Theater?

Home Theater Design: Widescreen Or Standard TV For Your Home Theater?

Firstly, from a point of view of cost, standard TVs are still cheaper than widescreen TVs, so if you have a restricted budget, this is worthy of consideration. You could perhaps get a good quality standard TV for the price of a budget widescreen model; definitely worth considering for your home theater design.

Secondly, there are still plenty of programs that are filmed with the 4:3 ratio. If you have a widescreen TV, you'll find that you either have to put up with a distorted, stretched image, or you'll have to set the display up at a 4:3 ratio to show these programs, in which case you are not showing anything on a quarter of the area of your screen. If you mainly watch 4:3 programming, that's a waste!

Thirdly, width and depth are normally restricted more than height in the average living space. Let's take a 28" widescreen TV as an example. The theoretical width of the screen is about 24", and the theoretical height is about 14". Into the same width of 24", you could fit a 30" standard TV, and the theoretical height of the picture on a 30" TV is about 18", giving you about 33% extra screen area for your home theater!

What happens when you want to view widescreen programming, though? 16:9 anamorphic programming can be viewed on most modern standard TVs. They reduce the height of the picture as opposed to increasing the width. The proportions of the picture remain the same. In the above example of a 30" standard TV, the TV would display a picture of the same size as that of a 28" widescreen TV! If you think big is beautiful, a standard TV is the way to go for your home theater design.

Of course, style considerations may apply, and you may prefer to go for a widescreen TV because you prefer the way it looks. However, there are some excellent reasons to consider a standard TV for your home theater design.

Sound Bars - Important Tips to Remember When Buying a Sound Bar System for Your Home Theater

Sound bars are the perfect way to get great home theater audio without setting up tons of speakers or dealing with messy wiring.

Sound Bars - Important Tips to Remember When Buying a Sound Bar System for Your Home Theater

If you have a plasma flat screen television, sound projectors are the perfect speakers to get great sound. As you probably already know, the little built-in speakers in most flat screen TVs simply don't put out great audio for movies, music or video games. When you add a sound projector to the mix, though, you'll get the best surround sound without cluttering your room up with speakers or tripping over wires all the time.

Sub-woofer Concerns

Some single speaker solutions don't really provide the low end bass that you need to get the best quality audio. In fact, some soundbar systems include a wireless sub-woofer to make sure that you get the best audio experience possible. There are some sound projectors that do include sub-woofers, just make sure that you check before you purchase to know whether or not you'll have to purchase an additional speaker.

SoundBar Types

Some soundbar systems are active and include their own amplification; this means that they simply plug into your television and start putting out great sound. Other models, however, are passive and need to be plugged into a home theater receiver to produce audio.

You can even add a sound projector into an existing home theater audio system for the ultimate in dynamic sound quality. Soundbars work great on their own, but when you add them into a full surround sound set up, you'll be amazed at how much better movies, music and games sound. You'll think you stepped into the local theater when you put a sound projector into the mix.

Whether you choose to integrate a sound bar into your existing system, or to simply use one on its own for better sound from your television, make sure that you get the best sound bar for your unique home theater set up.

Check out some sound bar reviews to see which models offer the best sound, and while you're at it, look for the best deals to save some money in the process. You'll be amazed at how much better movies sound when you crank up the volume on a brand new soundbar.

You cannot touch The way I Play Or tell me what to say You're in the way Of all that I believe in Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been wasting my breath on you Open minds will descend upon you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am
