Are You Ready For Surround Sound?

Would you like to have surround sound in your homes?

Watching movie in a theater might be enjoyable, but may be costly. And the experience might

also be irritating, if the crowd that you are sitting with is unruly and boisterous. When you go to a

theatre you spend quite a good amount of money, to relax, and to be at peace. But, the whole

fun is spoiled when people sitting behind talks or their mobile phone starts ringing. To my mind,

when one goes to a cinema either the cell phone must be switched off or put on silent mode or,

one should better watch the movies when it is available on cassette.

Why there should be a surround system in the house?

Thanks to surround sound technology, today people prefer to watch cinema at home without

leaving the comforts of the house, and completely at peace with oneself. Instead of wasting their

precious time and hard earned money by going to a theater, people turn their homes into

theater. Surround sound serves two purposes, it makes movie watching a happier experience

and if you are not an avid movie watcher, it amplifies the experience of watching television.

How to make your home a theatre?

Making surround sound is not that expensive. It can be started in a small way and as money

comes you can update it. Always go for a few expensive, branded, speakers than go for too

many inexpensive, local products. If you maintain quality from the beginning, you will be happier

in the long run. On the other hand, if you are not so keen to go meticulously into every detail of

purchasing the product you can buy a kit from the electronic department of superstores like

Wal-Mart or Target.

How to buy the product?



When you go to shop for a surround sound kit, take some time to look around at every available

brand before you make the final deal. In some leading electronic shops, the surround sound is

installed for you to try out the gadget and have a feel before you make up your mind on which

one suits your purpose. Otherwise, you may buy a cheap kit, when you can afford a costlier

one. So, before you actually set out to purchase, it is advisable to check your spending capacity.

Haste makes waste, so, while buying a surround sound, spend judiciously even if you have lot

of money.

Where to get the know-how about of the surround sound?

There is every chance that you will like the first kit that you bump into. But hurry causes worry;

take your own time to make the purchase. Buy at leisure giving more time before taking the

decision. You can do some ground research before doing the shopping. Remember, it is an

electronic good which is purchased for a life time and not a Fast moving consumable good.

Expert opinion is very important. In today's world you can get a whole lot of information on

surround sound from the internet. Besides, you can even make a purchase from online

Shoppe's. Or, if you are very particular about having a feel of the product before buying it, you

can note down the price which is quoted on the internet (if it is lower than in the shop) and

bargain with the shop keeper. By putting an extra bit of effort and time, you might land up with

something which is way beyond your wildest dreams.

Money should not be the limiting factor when you make such a valuable purchase. First, get

hold of the surround sound system of your dreams and then find the means to fulfill your

dreams.



Basic Components For A Home Theater

A lot of people shy away form the idea of buying a home theater because while purchasing the

components they are unable to decide on the right product. Most people are in doubt about the

different parts of a Home theater or they are not sure about what components are required to

make an electrifying and effective home theatre. Because of these reasons people either do not

waster their time looking into the various varieties and version of this fantastic product or

altogether they give up the idea of purchasing a Home Theatre.

You may belong to this confused lot who are not competent in selecting the individual parts of a

home theatre, because you are unaware of the parts and their operations. It is hoped that by

the time you complete reading this article, you would have better comprehensions about the

components. The most basic thing is that there are different grades of Home Theaters. The

components that are mentioned in the following paragraphs are the most basic ones, which give

brilliant performance. However, they are not the only components that go into the making of a

home theater.

Television

When you put up a home Theater for your family, the most fundamental thing that you need is

Television. It might sound like I am going too much into the basics, but you know until now I

have not found a Home theater which includes a Television. This is largely because, the most

personal decision that one has to make while choosing a Home Theater is the type and size of

the screen. Chiefly, there are three types of televisions available in the market today: The front

projector, the rear projector and the plasma. And, within each type there are various models

with small differences in the make and ranged between fairly priced to very expensive. Most

owner's of a Home Theater spend a great amount of their time making this crucial decision, and

eventually this decision influences the choice of other components which effects features like

clarity, sharpness, distinctness etc.



Receiver

Another principal component is the receiver. Probably, you have some kind of recorders or

DVD players as an essential constituent of the system. You might also have a Tivo, a cable

box, a satellite and mostly some kind of speakers for the system. All these devices are plugged

into a receiver- to put it in simple words, the receiver can be said to be the coordinator which

regulates the devices. I would advice that you spend the best part of your budget on this

principal Home theater component.

Speaker

Sound flows through the speaker. I think one of the most important advantage of a home

theater is that you virtually get a theater effect at you home, where you can do things you are

not able to do in a theater (like lying under a blanket or sitting with feet's up on your couch).

There are different types of speakers available. For some buying a speaker is a very personal

affair while others are ready to buy anything available in the market. To make it easier to select,

the speaker can also be purchase as part of the kit.

Recorder/DVD player

To end with, you have to decide on a recorder or DVD player. If you are very particular about

clarity, there are a variety of choices. If the most modern high performing DVD is not

compatible with your television, you can go for a cheaper, old version of the DVD player, till you

come across an advanced version. The above mentioned devices are wonderful to begin with.

Later, you can build on it using the most modern products. Keep on upgrading the product and

enjoy the state-of-the-art theater effect without leaving the comforts of your home.



Building A Great Home Theatre

You can easily spend a fortune on creating a home theatre of your choice and you might be

very contented with your investment, provided your family watches the homes theatre very

often. On the other hand, you can also build an excellent set at a cheaper rate provided you are

ready to spare some time and put in some effort to explore the market and surf on the web to

get hold of the appropriate product at an appropriate price. Ultimately, the key factor that

influences the building of any type of home theatre is the availability of resources.

Frankly speaking, majority of us can spend only up to ten thousand dollars to make a home

theatre of our desire. A large number of us have to cut down the expenses and save so that we

can spend a few thousand dollars on our dream home theatre. But, surprisingly, you can get an

excellent home theatre of your choice with a couple of thousands of dollar, provided you do a

market study about the components and the price and spend the money judiciously on the

gadget.

It is advisable that you build a home theatre over a period of time, by buying one part at a time.

By building up your system slowly but constantly you can spend your budget in installments.

This helps you spend more time to garner the monetary fund that is needed to buy the best

component available for your system. On the other hand, if you make a hasty purchase you will

either end up buying everything or buying nothing. Remember, when you buy the parts

separately be caution, because each part should be in tune with the system. Especially, this is

true about the speakers, so I would strongly recommend that you buy the speaker with the set

itself.

The first purchase that you should make is that of the television, because it is the most central

factor around which revolves the functions of other components. Nowadays, television with high

definition is becoming quite prevalent, and their performance is much better compared to that of

the common varieties that are available in the market today. If your funds allow then I would

advise you to buy this high quality televisions. And, when you have made this key purchase you

can start hunting for the other components to build up your system.



Your second purchase, I would suggest should be an amplifier or a receiver. It is the one

unifying piece that coordinates the functions of all the components. It is practically unthinkable

to have a home theatre without a first-rate receiver. The receiver functions as a director and

controller of the sounds and pictures on the home theatre. You should spend lavishly on an

amplifier because this is the most essential part which gives the theatre effect to the system.

Another inescapable component is the speaker. The effective sound system is one of the most

attractive experiences in a theatre. Without an excellent speaker you cannot completely enjoy

the theatre effect at home. A superb sound system will

guarantee you the 'movie quality' sound that is so important for an excited movie goer, at the

same you will become the talk of the neighborhood, envied for owning such an excellent

surround sound system. I would suggest that you buy speakers as a set so that they go well

together with one another.

And at last, you purchase comes to an end with a DVD player. It is left to you to decide whether

you need a high quality DVD player or a cheaper one. Preferably, you should go for high

definition disks only if you have a high resolution Television. Buy a high quality disk player only

when your set is upgraded with the latest technology, so that your surround sound system goes

in tune with the costly DVD player. The advantage of buying the parts separately is that you

can keep on upgrading the system so that you can always own the most high-tech home theatre

available in the market.



Building A Home Theater On A Budget

Americans are television buffs, be it watching movie related programs on television or renting

out movies from many internet movie rental companies. If not, we will be watching reality shows

on television. In short, we are obsessed with entertainment. I think, it is quite rational that we

spend a good amount of money on our home theatre. Since, we spend most of our time before

television we should buy the finest home theatre system.

It is human psychology that one's preference differs from that of the other. This has lead to the

availability of wide range of electronic good which cater to the tastes of different people and it

has also lead to a healthy competition in the entertainment industry. This is refreshing news for

those who are living on a shoestring budget. As the latest technological products arrive in the

market there is a proportionate decrease in demand of the products already available.

The trick of the trade is that you should buy an older version so that you save a lot of money on

your home theatre.

If you are not keen to go along with the advanced technology, believe me I can tell you that the

technological advancement in home theatre is not going at such a fast pace. You can purchase

the home theatre on eBay or through local newspapers by spending just a portion of the budget

you have kept aside to buy the latest edition from the market. If you have a shortage of money

or if you are very careful about how much a home theatre, you can go for used home theatre

sales, where also you will come across some excellent choices.

But sometimes, you are like many others who have an aversion toward buying second hand

goods (however, I consider this as one of best option available). The most widely held reason is

that you do not get a warranty; well, if you are also of the same mind set I better suggest that

you do not make a hand-me-down purchase. Even if you do not pick up this option you have

many other options to go ahead with. The option that I love the most is to build one's own Home

Theatre system over a period of time. If you meticulously plan and buy every component, in the

long run you will be astounded when you discover that you are the proud owners of one of the

exclusive set available in the whole world.



Life is full of choices and when it comes to home theatres there is no end to choices on the right

kind of components, according to your preferences. Even though we have budget limitations, we

still love the idea of having Bose speakers or Dolby surround sound. The good thing about

appreciating all the good things in the world, is that when you around and check the products

and make up your mind on your likes and dislikes, you are unconsciously becoming a well-

informed customer.

When you go shopping for a home theatre you can compare and bargain. Make a note of the

components in different shops and bargain, see if they offer you some free gift to compete with

the other shops. Keep it in mind that it needs expertise and equipment to install a home theatre,

You might have to hire someone to do that. I think if a shop keeper offers you free installation

that should be given due consideration.

Finally, the aim is to acquire the best possible home theatre system for the money you spend.

After having learned so much about the different options available, by the time you leave the

shop you will have a fair idea about how good your deal was. There is nothing like the

knowledge that you gain about every aspect of a home theatre and also we buy a component

we can find out are really getting value for money. Moreover, you will realize how much you

have to pay when you buy branded products. You can cash in on up-coming companies, where

you will be getting introductory offers. But to make use of all these, you have to equip yourself

with a first hand knowledge of the company before spending your life's savings.



Box Kit Home Theaters

Ours is a world in which convenience has increasingly grown in demand. It is for this very

reason that many buyers of home theater systems expect some level of convenience when they

go shopping for a home theater system. This goes on despite the fact that there exist many

types of consumers the world over and even in matters of supply and demand, nothing has

emerged that wholly and fully fits all society. People want things that are similar for one reason

or the other yet they insist on autonomy and large options to be availed for their tastes.

The needs of a modern society which insists on convenience of making purchase has

skyrocketed to a level that packaged goods have become the norm, be it prepackaged dinner

packs to already packaged home theatre systems. There is no doubt that these prepackaged

theatre home systems offer a big deal of ease to consumers. These benefits include the ability

to get the price of the whole system prior to purchase. This is only a small level of benefits that

come in comparison to the full benefits those buyers of these home theatre systems experience.

Attunement

Buyers of these already packaged home theater systems are well informed that all related

components to these systems will harmoniously work together. They don't have to worry about

proprietary issues, these systems components are designed in a way that doesn't create

conflicts with the others parts but ideally complements them for highest quality and high

efficiency.

Cost

Most of these prepackaged systems cost less than buying separate components. For most

consumers, this is one major reason for purchasing a box kit. This is of course to the

convenience of realizing the cost of the entire package beforehand. There are many parts and

components in the market and you are able to find them all in separate price range, it can be a

little bit confusing when comparing prices due to the difficulty of grasping the many quality

details and simply by evaluating boxes.



Know-how

These prepackaged box kits allow you to hear and see them in action when consolidated. This

gives you the consumer a good chance of witnessing the overall performance of the system as

compared to listening to a hodgepodge of separate pieces and parts while speculating how they

really work individually. A lot can be said about having the capability to try and see something

working before you buy it. These prepackaged systems allow you to do just that.

Set up

For the majority of consumers this is one big reason to go for a prepackaged kit as opposed to a

big system with separate component-ease of mounting. Majority of these prepackaged home

theater systems are quite easy to install. This eliminates the needs for expert installation and

saves you a great deal of hassle on the set up process.

One major drawback of these prepackaged systems though, is the inability to upgrade them

once purchased and you may have to go for a different type of system. this mostly leaves true

enthusiasts feel a bit letdown by the quality of sounds from such systems. If you however have

restricted space and are limited on funds, these prepackaged systems are an ideal place to start

when considering home theater purchase. you can later give to your children if you decide to

upgrade at a later stage.



DIY Surround Sound

1. The main surround sound format is known as five-point-one. The numbers in the name refer

to the number of speakers the format can use. So five-point-one uses five discrete full-range

audio channels--three speakers at the front, which are stereo left and right, plus a center-

channel mono and two surround sound speakers at the side or rear of the listener.

The "point-one" in five-point-one refers to the sixth, low-frequency effects channel, which carries

bass sound to the woofer or subwoofer.

2. For home theater surround, there's new refinement to five-point-one, called seven-point-one.

This format adds two more speakers, which allow for two surround speakers to be placed

behind the seating area, and the other two to the sides of the listening position.

If a DVD movie is mixed in seven-point-one surround sound, there will be seven separate

channels of audio. But since most DVDs and other content are currently mixed in five-point-one

surround, often those two extra speakers will be duplicating the same audio you'd hear with five

speakers.

After you choose between five-point-one and seven-point-one sound surround system, it's time

to buy your speakers. Here are some basic rules-of-thumb to follow when selecting the

speakers:

* The first rule is to get five (figure A) sound surround system, or seven, timbre-matched

speakers. Although timbre matching is quite technical, it simply means that each of your

speakers will produce similar sounds.

Note: You want to match the speakers all around the room so the sound is seamless. A small

center channel speaker from one manufacturer and large floor standing speakers from a

different manufacturer isn't your best bet, even though this setup is found in most homes.

* For most people with a medium-size living room or den, 12" to 15" tall bookshelf speakers

make a lot of sense. They're a convenient size that won't overwhelm a room and can be found



in almost every price range. Typically, bookshelf speakers don't bring a lot of bass, but that's

okay because the subwoofer will handle those low frequencies.

* Only if you have a dedicated home-theater space or large multi-purpose room should you

consider speakers of the large variety--38" and up (figure B). Although the best of the speakers

in this range do sound great, and can be loud, it's really overkill for most rooms.

* The subwoofer is also an important part of the overall surround-sound system. It delivers all of

the deep bass impact on DVDs--as well as music. Most mid-priced systems, though, come with

a woofer--a small driver in a small cabinet with a small amplifier. This is fine for music, but

you're not really going to hear the deep bass on DVDs. To hear them, you've got to pony up for

a real subwoofer with a bigger woofer driver, bigger amplifier and a bigger cabinet hand is on

the subwoofer), which all add up to one thing--deep, deep bass.

Go ahead and get the biggest and most powerful subwoofer your budget will allow. This bass

boost will make any size satellite speakers sound bigger and better.

* Some consumers get caught up in power ratings--or "wattage"--when buying speakers, but in

reality those numbers are just an advisory from the manufacturer. You don't have to match a

100-watt amp with speakers rated at 100 watts, but use these ratings as a guide for choosing

speakers that fall at or above your amp's wattage.

* When shopping for speakers, one of the big mistakes most people make is listening to

unfamiliar program material -- usually a demo CD or DVD the store may have on hand. Unless

you're familiar with the program material, there's no way of knowing whether a speaker system

is really to your liking. It’s recommended that you bring your own CDs or DVDs. If you listen to

familiar sounds, one speaker system is going to stand out over the other.

* Every home theater and speakers come complete with cables, but its recommends that if

you're spending serious money anyway, consider getting after-market cables. You'll see better

video, you'll hear better audio and the cables will last longer without problems. There are a lot of

inflated claims about the performance of some cables, with price tags to match. But you don't

have to pay thousands of dollars for overly-thick cables. A good rule-of-thumb is to spend about

10 to 15 percent of the cost of your overall home-entertainment system. One thing to look for--



gold-plated connectors. Unlike nickel or tin-plated connectors, gold won't corrode--and corrosion

causes distortion.

Always keep the above in mind when you decide to purchase and install a home theater

system.



Give Your Children The Gift Of A Surround Sound MediaCenter

These moments happen most times, imagine you are seated in your in the seating room

watching your favorite game when suddenly you get interrupted by your preteen son Nichol as

he walks up with a gadget in the left hand that turns out to be the hottest and greatest version of

the children's DVD, and shoots you a look that speaks for itself. It obvious what your next plans

are. You will have to forfeit another Sunday game at the expense of your son, who will be

having an easy time in front of the Tube watching his unicorns, rainbows and fairies. It probably

may be the right time that you get your child a surround sound media centre of his own. This will

of course ensure that you watch those big sports you fancy with great peace of mind and

minimal interruption, hence happiness for every one.

If you consider it seriously, purchasing a children's home theater is indeed a great idea.

This will free your TV and give you enough time to watch anything you fancy other than the

children videos. Getting your children a sound surround gift is surely one way to endear yourself

to them because it will help them for many years to come. One advantage is that they will by no

means outgrow it and will always appreciate for being able to their videos at their chosen time.

A second home theatre gives you numerous advantages other than just having a single control

over the main TV set. This goes best if you are a family with more than one child, because the

surround sound entertainment system will teach them how to share the system by taking turns

in using the home theatre system. You also reap the added benefit of having the ability to

control the channel they view hence block channels you deem inappropriate. On the other side

you can unblock your TV and view any channels you with to view.

Another great advantage is the home theatre system for children which allows them to invite

friends over , their congregation is therefore always from the Television front. When you decide

to purchase a surround sound theatre for your children, it's good to let them know that it is their

responsibility to take good control of the system. Inform them that they won't be able to use your

system if they break down their home theaters system due to misuse. This will ensure that the

peanut butter and the home theatre system are kept separate.



If you have reservations about other peoples opinion of you giving your kids surround sound

home theater system, then you really shouldn't have second thoughts, if your closest buddies

think you are becoming more overgenerous and maybe even spoiling your kids, just ask them if

they got to watch the big game last night.



Pieces Parts Components And Sound

It also includes Speakers--including a subwoofer--and a source (DVD, laserdisc, VHS).

Definitely the cause of much financial difficulty, but for many people it's worth it to be able to

blast your neighbors. The sound in a home theater system is as important as the big screen TV.

A good stereo TV sitting all by itself sounds better than a bad home theater system install.

Boomy (or nonexistent) bass, no audio detail, and/or muddy, inaudible dialog can make a movie

unwatchable.

When planning a home theater, remember that the physical geometry of the room is as

important as the equipment in the system. Poor room acoustics can cause soundstage and

bass-response problems that will significantly detract from the viewing experience. With a few

exceptions, one usually can't control the shape of the room available to use. An irregularly-

shaped room can be compensated for by creating a "theater zone" within the living space.

The key is to create a sound field that centers on the viewers' seating area.

A system sounds best when there are few or no echoes. A standing wave is created when a

sound wave's echoes reinforce themselves, amplifying a specific tone. Another nuisance is

when an item in the room starts to resonate to a specific wavelength(s) in the sound from the

speakers. This can be dealt with by adding damping items or rearranging things like moving the

couch, adding drapes and/or rugs. A hard-core audiophile can even buy damping panels and

vertical tube-shaped corner treatments to damp echoes.

The GearYou need to match the sound to the image, so one does not overwhelm the other. Speaker

laminates, grill covers, and other cosmetic considerations should be dealt with at this time. How

much speaker wire are you going to need, and what kind? If you are going to run cables under

the rug, you need flat cables made for such use, as regular wire will not only cause ugly bulges,

but also may cause a trip and fall hazard and eventually wear through in spots and create short

circuits.



Speakers

A home theater requires at least five speakers: Front left, front right, and center (placed directly

over or under the screen), in the back, left and right rear, and in a corner, a subwoofer. This

layout is also known as a 5.1 system. Whether you use full-range speakers for your front

channels or not, the subwoofer is needed because movies have deep bass tones not normally

found in music, especially for visceral effects like explosions.

The center channel needs to go immediately above or below the TV screen, the front speakers

need to be in the front corners of the listening area at roughly the same level as the center

speaker, and the rear speakers need to be at the rear, preferably firing sideways towards the

listening area. Bass can be adjusted by moving the sub into and out of the corner it is placed in.

It doesn't matter much which corner you use, as the human ear cannot locate the source of low

frequency sound to any great degree.

Many speakers are sold in sets especially for home theater systems, but you can also pick out

your own components. This applies mostly in cases where one already has front speakers and

only wants to add to them. The important thing to remember is that a set of speakers sold

together is designed to work together, with tonal quality and crossover points that match one

another. If the speakers don't sound the same, it can cause jarring differences when audio

effects travel from speaker to speaker.

There are several types of surround sound. The most prevalent are Dolby Pro Logic (analog)

and Dolby Digital (also called AC-3.) THX Cinema is a signal enhancement developed by Lucas

Film that in addition to modifying the signal, mandates power minimums for each channel for

proper sound reproduction. Simply hooking up an add-on surround speaker system to your

basic TV/Stereo VCR/DVD can make a basic HTS.

There are many such add-on systems out there, in varying levels of sophistication.

Most add-on speaker systems intended for HTS upgrade have a built-in surround sound

decoder in the subwoofer, which saves on hookup complexity and clutter. As far as the surround

mode, most basic systems only decode Dolby Pro Logic, but that is more than enough for a

basic setup. It's always wise to spend a little more on speakers, then sort other parts later.



Professional Installation Or Sweat Equity?

One of the top challenges that will surface after you finalize your purchase of a top of the range

sound surround theatre system is whether to handle the set up work yourself or consulting the

services of an expert. The answer to this question may relatively depend on the degree of

sophistication of the system itself and your grasp of the physics and electronics involved. Many

of the prepackaged tools on the market today are easy to set up and could be mounted fairly

quickly ( by a few hours course ) even by laymen such as myself.

If you are purchasing a big home theater or sound surround system that comes with very

rigorous requirements in order to give you optimum performance equivalent to what you paid for

it, then it just might be wise to invest in the services of a professional. REMEMBER that home

theater kits come in all sizes, shapes, and price range. Being able to install a $600-30,000 tool

kit doesn't mean that the home theatre going at a price in excess of that amount to lets say

$20,000 is as an easy of matter to install (thought such a price might actually be for a self-

installed system). the point here is that if you've spent a lot of money for a home theater or

sound surround system you absolutely want to ensure that you are getting your dollars worth on

the other end. Hiring a professional to do your installation is one way to ensure that you get the

best.

Set up is an expensive venture just as everything that bears a professional word at its front. One

way of curtailing that charge is by shopping around and conducting some price comparison

research, you may end up discovering that different retailers have different installation charges,

one retailer could be expensive while another is very affordable and could even offer free

installation once you make the purchase from him. If the installation price makes the difference

between the two, then opt for it, it will help you save a lot of dollars in the process and also

secure a professional installation.

It also pays to find out whether self-installation may render some warranties null. This is a

common occurrence in some occasions where you could end up risking your guarantee on a

$20,000 sound surround speaker system in order to save a few hundred bucks on installation

upfront. For my case, some risks aren't just worth taking, because a lot could go wrong by

operating without a warranty.



You do not have to begin your home theater or surround sound experience with a top of the line

piece of equipment. It is quite possible to start small with a surround sound system and build a

better system as you go. In fact, I seriously recommend that people invest heavily in speakers

from the beginning and sacrifice the number of speakers in favor of better quality speakers

Though you may obtain a great deal of satisfaction by doing stuff on your own, this may

sometimes prove to be an attempt in futility. If you can't avoid the urge to install the system

yourself, then you ought to be extra cautious from the beginning and stick to every detail that

comes with the instruction manual in order to obtain the best results possible. The major

problem with many of us is that we mostly pretend to be tech-savvy enough, hence reading the

accompanied user manual becomes unnecessary, until we become stuck in some point along

the way.

If you are among the many people world over who have joined the surround sound theatre

system league and have found the installation process quite easy and straightforward and that

you don't require expert knowledge to accomplish. Consider yourself a lucky lot. Very soon you

will be enjoying theatre quality sound from your home theater surround system whether it's

music you are listening to or movie or the newest game. Whether you go for expert installation

or self installation, I wish you all the best in setting up your new sound surround system and

happy listening.



Saving Money On Your Surround Sound System

It's common knowledge that when you make a trip to the local electronics shop to purchase

some sort of gadget or any electronic equipment be it a PDA, notebook pc, or sound surround

it's most likely out-of-date as you get it off the shelf. Don't be surprised to find out later that

something hottest and sophisticated has already been developed to replace it. If you belong to

the rare species of people that can live merrily without fussing over electronic gadgetry, then I

bet, you must be saving a lot of cash with your frugal lifestyle. To the shoppers of sound

surround system, the most challenging part they face is of having to choose which surround

system among the many displayed is ideal for them and their budget.

To simplify your search and save your head from a possible migraine that may strikes when you

are stuck in the terrible valley of decision -AND mostly does, leave the house equipped with a

couple of CDs when you go shopping for a surround system in your local electronics store. Most

hyper marts and other stores of electronic goods usually have a dedicated place for display of

sound surround system., this are purposely set up for you to try them. Insert your CDs in one of

them and let it prove itself worth of your cash, do this in a number of them while noting your

favorites. When the mission is over, you will be able to figure out the surround system for

yourself and BELIEVE ME - you won't regret your decision. I know visiting the electronics store

can be REAL fun.

Trying out these surround systems in the store prior to purchase will offer you the best

opportunity to decide on what elements and features you want in a surround sound system. You

must have discovered from experience that the more a system is loaded with features, the

higher the price it commands, so, you can save plenty of dollars by deciding what features you

need and what you can do without. Don't pay more for a system just because it's loaded with

features, some of which may be for aesthetic purposes than functionality. Be a smart shopper.

Noting down what features you want in a sound surround system, and also the systems you

like, and then conducting comparison shopping will land you in a system that will both please

you and also leave you with some spare change in your wallet. If you are connected to the

internet, then that could be the fastest and easiest way to do it. You can try virtual window

shopping in sites of well recognized electronic dealers on the wide world web, like Best Buy,



Radio Shack or Circuit City and many more and do price comparison. It very possible to find an

on-line reseller willing to give you much better price, just remember to do a background check of

their reputation first. The safest way to do on-line shopping is by using pay pal, since you don't

have to be worried of someone hacking into your bank account. Pay pal also makes it easy to

dispute a charge, incase you are scammed.

Don't just settle for the most expensive sound surround system that the market can offer, what

truly matters in a system that you choose to buy is that is pleases you regardless of what

someone else has. They latest technology hype isn't always a reliable yard stick in measuring

quality of a system. latest techie can be loaded with bugs remember and could leave you very

unhappy and a substantial amount of dollars down the drain, so be cautious always and do your

survey first.



Selecting The Right Speakers

Almost all home theater systems and sound surround speakers include the following types:

* Front left and right speakers

* Center channel speaker

* Surround speakers

* Subwoofer

These speakers work together to create the surround sound experience of a movie theater in

your living room. While there are many brands and models that do a great job reproducing

sound, you will want to be sure that the various speakers in your home theater system work well

together as a cohesive unit. Check out what each speaker's job is, and some of the things to

consider before buying.

These speakers work to deliver spectacular directional effects, like a locomotive rushing by, or

a bullet zinging past. They really help put you smack dab in the center of the action. Although a

5.1-channel surround sound system, with only one pair of surround sound speakers, is the most

common setup, most newer home theater receivers can power more than a single pair of

surround speakers - and there are surround sound formats to match. Today, many people buy

one or two additional speakers to use as "back surrounds" in a 6.1- or 7.1-channel system.

The best Specifications to look for:

* Speaker type. Ideally, your surround sound speakers should have the same performance

capability as your front left and right speakers, but that's not always realistic when you consider

room size and space. Most people use either bookshelf or satellite speakers (when the system

also has a subwoofer) for their surrounds. Both bookshelf and satellite speakers may require

stand placement or wall mounting.

* Dipole/bipole capability. Some higher-end surround sound speakers offer a dipole/bipole

switch (sometimes referred to as a "Solid/Diffuse" switch). These speakers feature two high-

frequency drivers that either fire in phase (bipole) or out of phase (dipole). Dipole/bipole



speakers take advantage of reflected sound to create a wide sound field, and they provide

greater speaker placement flexibility.

* Placement. Correct surround sound speaker placement results in a very realistic three-

dimensional sound field; incorrect surround speaker placement can leave people asking, "Are

our surrounds even on?" Check our speaker placement guide and consider where you'll put

your surrounds and whether they'll need to be stand-mounted, wall-mounted, or even in-wall or

in-ceiling models.

* Voice-matching. Again, for the most realistic listening experience, it helps if your surround

speakers are from the same "family" or series as your main and center channel speakers, and

have similar tonal characteristics.

Powered subwoofer

If you are assembling a home theater, plan on including a powered subwoofer. Many Dolby

Digital and DTS soundtracks provide a dedicated channel of deep bass (sometimes known as

low frequency effects, or LFE). This bass is what makes the entire soundtrack feel larger, fuller,

and more lifelike - and gives special effects like thunder or explosions their window-rattling

punch.

Since most speakers can't deliver that level of bass on their own, a subwoofer is needed to

ensure that your home theater system delivers crucial low-frequency impact. A subwoofer is

also a wonderful way to enrich music listening - it can round out all types of music, from

classical to jazz to rock to R&B.

What to look for:

* Power. If you have a large room (or if you just crave that serious bass content) then you

should look for a sub with more watts in the built-in amp. Plus, as a general rule, the larger the

driver, the deeper the bass - so go for a sub with a big 10" or 12" woofer cone (or a multi-woofer

sub) for serious bass response.



* Placement. Low-frequency sound waves are omni-directional, so you have a great deal of

flexibility when it comes to subwoofer placement. If you have a spot in your room picked out,

consider the dimensions of the sub's cabinet to make sure it will fit. And remember that placing

your sub near a wall, or, even better, in a corner, can increase bass impact noticeably.

*Video-shielding. If you are planning to place your subwoofer anywhere near a tube TV, be

certain to get a video-shielded sub.

These above guides should help you decide what pair of sound surround speaker are good for

your home theater system when you finally decide to join the big league of home theater

owners.



Surround Sound Possibilities

You maybe wondering why a lot of people these days spent their hard earned dollars in the

purchase of sound surround systems, equipments, and speakers, the reasons vary to many

people, that may justify their investment in the somewhat expensive Sound Surround systems.

Though, there exists no single sound surround system size, just as with any other thing in life

that is fit for all. Your reasons for doing such an investment may not be because your neighbor

the Jerries has one big surround systems that is causing tremors in the hood and you want to

counter them. For the biggest part, the reasons are personal and specific. There are also a

couple of reasons that motivate people to invest in sound surround systems and home theaters,

and we are going to look into some of them in the course of the next paragraph. This may even

provide an impetus for you to get a sound surround system of your own.

Let me give you my own and very personal reasons first. While I was growing up my dad held a

managerial job with a local cinema. That was a great opportunity for me and a privilege too,

because I spent uncountable nights in the office watching movies from the cinemas projector

room, this happens to be some of my most cherished childhood memories. I will live to

remember the one rare opportunity I had to watch the movie " Return of the Jedi" just the night

prior to it's public release in the projector room in the company of my dad and a few theater

staff, but that was nothing in comparison to watching the movies in the auditorium. But what

made the great difference here? Believe me it was the sound. Nothing much can be said about

the sound quality inside the movie theater. And in the days gone by it simply wasn't reproducible

at home. But due to fast technology growth over the last ten years, all that was a preserve of the

ancient movie theaters is now available in our own homes and the price is quite reasonable.

That is a reason sufficient for me to reminisce about my most cherished childhood memories.

Another good reason for equipping your home with a sound surround system is not just about

movie watching or the fun of large on-screen video game enjoyment. Whether you are gaming

in the world of aliens or the other many amazing virtual worlds created specifically for on-line

gaming fun, you will find sound surround as a valuable tool in keeping your character active and

intact. These on-line games provide hints that place you in the centre of action with full



knowledge of what’s taking place within your vicinity if you heed the audible tips and hints that

come together with the sound surround systems.

If you find the above reasons insufficient to wear down your guard and convince you to make a

visit over to the fantastic side of the entertainment chamber, then undoubtedly, the enrichment

that sound surround gives to music will give you the motivation. Think about how good your

music might sound in an enriched environment of sound surround, sound with tone

wholesomely defined and smooth sounding to the ear. So much can be said about the

difference that sound surround makes to music (best with some kinds of music than others) and

never sufficient yet. If you love live recordings, try to imagine the ability to be part of a crowd as

the tone of sounds of your presence fills the room. It's a wonderful effect to music.

There are many reasons to get the wonders of sound surround working in your home. It's my

hope that this piece of writing will help shed some light on the many ways that could enrich your

multimedia enjoyment and also give you some tips for enlarging your present use of sound

surround system. thanks for reading.



The Great Installation Debate

It's a huge a question and it's looming large, especially among those home theatre lovers or any

one who is contemplating the purchase one of those enormous home theater systems for their

homes, AND the question is: Should I do a self installation or part with some bucks and call in a

professional to handle the job ? This debate goes beyond the confines of the American borders

and into the world. Consumers worldwide are grappling with similar questions and it might not

be an easy question to answer as it seems. Self installation wholly depends on the consumer's

confidence level and personal ability, and to many would be buyers, this maybe the reason as to

why they keep postponing purchase of home theaters.

For my household, this depends on who feels he/she needs the product most and who feels he

is confident enough to handle the installation. I've discovered that when it comes to such

equipments as home theaters, my man is a superstar at having the job done straight away. On

my side I had to lag my laundry to the laundry mat for weeks while the laundry machine and

dryer sat out in the basement in wait for him to mount them. I have no doubt that a person with

my kind of mind and attitude wouldn't hesitate to pay for a professional installation for any

equipment that requires quick installation.

With installation of complicated equipments, timing is not the only factor to consider, like for a

home theatre system. Knowledge is a major determining factor here as with most others

components. Because if you dare do it yourself and end-up breaking something during the

installation, that mat invalidate your warranty, especially if it maybe easy to prove that the item

or component was broken by the user and is not factory defect. You may also not like getting

down do the job yourself and then discover that something is missing, which may require that

you take the whole component apart, box it up again and take it to the store. Time wasted is

money wasted and you may not like the idea of redoing the whole installation afresh which may

end up being even more frustrating and expensive.

There are many things to put in mind when considering self -installation or professional

installation, and one of them is the guarantee on your home theatre system and it's related

components. Some warranties are nullified or rendered void if you don’t have your home theatre



system professionally installed. You therefore need to be sure if you are doing self-installation of

your home theater that the process doesn't nullify your warranty on the product.

Self installation also comes with benefits; first on the list is the bucks you will save by mastering

the guts of doing the installation yourself. Professional service doesn't come cheap

REMEMBER. It maybe quite costly and consumers of electronic goods don't consider that in

their budgeting for a home theater system. For most, expert installation can be a real deal

breaker in getting a home theatre of your dreams and also enjoying the best it can offer in terms

of entertainment.

The second reason that glorifies self installation of a home theater system yourself is the fact

that you develop the confidence of taking it part if the situation ever requires like moving

houses, or when you have to take it apart for maintenance and repair purposes. It also pays to

know where what plugs into and doing the installation yourself will give you that advantage.

At last is the sense of pride that only comes with knowing that you cracked the technical mystery

and did it on your own. It gives you a sense of accomplishment that not every john or Jane is

capable or even willing to do this task on their own, and that is remarkable and something to

make you proud. So, whether you decide that your installation has to be done by a pro or not. I

wish you all the best in your endeavor and hope you emerge victoriously.



Why Surround Sound?

You may be one among the many people across the globe that are still hooked to their old

transistor radios or that hand me down ghetto-blaster from your granny, you are indeed a

conservative and are still wondering what the ruckus is all about this new thing called a sound

surround system. You are surprised about the many things being said about this sound

surround systemania and the difference in can make to the TV watching experience. Does it

ring a bell? The best response to that is that unless you are a mute and totally deaf, this

surround thing can make a real positive impact to your movie viewing, gaming, and music

experience. Nothing beats being at the center of some cool action, and believe me, sound

surround, does exactly that.

The Sound surround experience makes it possible for you to hear and even feel those eerie

sounds a victim hears in your favorite horror films and even from the similar direction as the on-

screen character. This means you are literally in the midst of the action together with the

character. Your emotions will be evoked by the subwoofer in anticipation of the worst.( all this

courtesy of the sound surround system) as in those edgy moments of horror. This indescribably

shows you the ways that sound surround has revolutionalized movie watching. It never as it

used to be anymore.

I must admit that am a renowned knitter and novel reader when it comes to television watching

or maybe movies, and I'm only jostled up from my preoccupation with the crotchet or book when

something catches up my attention, be it a flash from the screen or a sound I heard. This

definitely means that sound will mostly arouse my attention to the action taking place on the

screen. I have recently noted my increased interest in movies and TV shows since I purchased

sound surround system for my home theater. It's remarkable that scarves and other things take

long to achieve and I lay the blame entirely on the incredible sound of my sound surround

system.

You may not be much of a TV enthusiast or even a movies goer for that matter, but if computer

gaming is your thing then you may surely love what sound surround has to offer you. If you've

already forgotten about that "BEING THE CENTER OF THE ACTION", this works magic in the

game world and gives you essential hints and tips to whatever is happening around you. You'll



hear the villains or the other side attempt to creep up on you and know exactly where they may

emerge from. You can also listen to the hoof beats at a distance or even a fire burning in barrels

off to your left. You can listen to the Alien ships fly by as is you were standing next to them in

the midst of it all. It adds excellent experience to the virtual reality of the game and is real fun.

Music lovers on their side can feel as if they are seated right in front of the rock band or in the

first row at a concert for your cherished orchestra. If you happen to be playing music that is live

recorded, you will enjoy the feeling that comes from being in the center of the crowd minus

smoke or the fumes that may detract you from having a good time. Regardless of your first love

being music, video, games, or movies or whatever it is, be assured that sound surround has

ways to make each of those experience real fun at the coziness of your own home.



Home Theater- Make It Worth Even With A Small Budget!

When you decide to have a room, while you are constructing your house, exclusive for movie

watching or a home theatre system, then you should be spending good money to decorate the

room. In today’s market, there are various options or you when it comes to decorating a wall or

a room. The prices of these decorations also are amazingly varied that anyone can afford it. As

we all know art imitates life, but with these kinds of options for decoration available in the market

you can imitate the awesome art we watch in the movies or television shows at home. Mind you,

all this can be done at a peach of a price.

A nice and a compact home theatre system is a worthy investment only when it is used in a neat

private room. The decorations you will proceed to do shouldn’t be disturbing you anyway from

movie-watching. There are lots of ways to do this and mostly the customers feel the price tag

with which it comes is mammoth. If you decide to have special lighting, you need not go for the

ones at $500 a piece as you have various options. In a good home improvement store you will

find magnificent sconces in stores which have home theatre equipments. You will get all this at

a fraction of the cost. You should keep in mind that the whole jazz is about watching the movie,

so make your decorations neat as well as subdued. Buy inexpensive lightings or strings and

sometimes even a Christmas tree light to use for decoration.

Instead of hanging some expensive drapery on the walls of your home you can use textured

paint in pretty dark colors so as to avoid any kind of glaring effect on the screen.

You also might be tempted to use sound-proof materials but it is totally your say as to whether

you need it or not. It can be quite useful if you live in a basement floor of an apartment and if

you want to keep it hush from your family.

As far as the floors are concerned, use dark carpets in most areas of your room. In basement

floors, cork can be a good option for flooring as it absorbs the sound escaping from the room

and also provides a resistance naturally to moisture based problems that often occur in

basements. It is quite inexpensive but never really popular.

Dark furnishing for the home theater at your place can be the best possible icing in the cake.

Use colored sofas in your room if you want your family to enjoy some space together. Beanbags



and various other special seating can be apt for children. Children, this way, would not fight for

seating as they will have their own places to sit and enjoy the movie.

The point is not to spend a whopping amount on your home theater. Choose the best

combination of things to make your home theatre interesting and enticing. I recommend plastic

popcorn boxes and a few flameless tea light candles along the floor to add to the beauty of your

theater. Try to be at your creative best to carve out the best possible home theater n your

house. Let your imagination some room and make your home theatre splendid.



Do Not Make Hasty Decisions While Buying A Home Theatre!

The electronics and the family of components are totally varied in today’s world. There are

numerous companies producing these items of different quality and prices. You will find yourself

in a helpless situation if you decide to barge in the market to purchase electronic goods. These

days even the private sector posts massive variances in quality and prices of these goods. This

makes the situation even more complicated as you have so much to choose from.

If you decide to purchase one system after all this, you should be prepared to carry a sound

intensive movie in a CD when you approach any retail store for electronics to test it out. Best

Buy need not always be the best possible place to purchase a good home theatre and a

surround sound system. Try to widen your choices beyond the horizon to think of shops offering

different configurations of systems. Make it a point to sit out a Saturday’s afternoon to browse

through all the options in hand.

When you do this, you automatically get the feel of the electronic goods, especially the surround

sound systems. As your experience gets richer, you will make wiser decisions. You will start to

shortlist what you want and this certainly will help you fix your eye on particular system. It is

always good to make up your mind on a particular product to suit your style and going out to the

market. Remember to test every component of the electronic system you buy.

As you shortlist the systems of your interest, your mind then treads to the price tags of these. It

is very typical of everyone to do this and one feels the internet is the best place to do it. The

internet can be your ultimate source to view all the prices the companies tag and compare it

with the ones you have chosen. The local stores might charge a little more for the same system

compared to the online prices. If you can hassle your way through and reduce a little more from

the local stores, it might prove to be very effective. Mind you, this works with only a few stores,

not all. Even the larger chain stores sometimes don’t acknowledge the prices received online as

competitive. It is worth a try if you decide to purchase it in a local store else it is best to do it

online.

Purchasing the best surround system for your home theater is no rocket science. You just have

to be pleased with the quality of the products. If you had properly planned and stuck up with



what you wanted to buy for your home, then any sound coming from the system can be a

delight. It wouldn’t matter if it was a good company or not, all that will matter is your satisfaction.

So take ample time before you jump into a decision when it comes to electronic systems. Home

theater and its sister components needs to be selected with a lot of insight, though interest

precedes. So not regret your home theater after you have bought it. Feel satisfied for whatever

it takes. Do not do things hastily.



Home Theater- Bring Movie Theaters Home!

Watching a movie can be such a relaxing activity, especially after a hard day’s work. Even if you

have to conquer the traffic to go and watch a movie, you will be up for it. The feel and the sound

of the movie theaters attract all of us. We get quite engrossed in the movie that we even forget

where we are sometimes. The scenes carry bigger-than-life pictures and the surround sound

makes you feel delightful. But one has to realize that we cannot be doing this as is costly at the

end of the day. Think of a home theater in your room, which would be a peach of an idea. You

can replicate the idea of a theater at home to make your life just a little more exciting. Before

you despise this idea, why don’t you think again? Watching a movie at the theater is an

expensive affair and not many can afford it. In fact, if you know the right ingredients for a good

home theater, it makes things far simpler.

You might not be able to set-up a replica of a theater at home, unlike the rich, but certainly can

afford something half as well as that. If you get to know the basic components of it, you can

arrange it yourself on a meager budget. If you are determining to do it, you can even turn your

den into a home theater. You might need just the three components to make up a decent home

theater and watch movies with your family.

You are certain to have a television set of about 27 inches at home. This basically is the first

major component of the whole system. Half your worries might be solved in the first step. If you

possess a DVD player, quite many do, it solves the second major issue as well. If the DVD

player has a progressive scan that could be wonderful, though even without it, it might prove

worthy. Speakers, being the third major component, could be quite an issue with many. You will

have to purchase a few of those to complete the unfinished business. A left speaker, a right one

and a centre could be needed to coup de grace a home theater system. When you are done

with this, you will have a good time watching movies in your home theater. Owning your own

home theater can be such a splendid feeling for anyone. You have the freedom to watch any

number of movies at will lest you have a good collection of movies.

A small room will be most conducive for the home theater system containing the three

components. A bigger budget would have fit your bill if you had bigger rooms. Talking to experts

on these, you will end up buying several more speakers just to enhance the quality of your



theater. A surround effect, one might fancy, can be achieved through subwoofers and extra

speakers. The bigger the room and your interests, you tend to go for projectors. And if you have

the money to spend, you will even venture on seating and television cabinets to add to your

repertoire. This will indeed provide the complete package to what you can call a marvelous

home theater. Mind you, this could be even remotely possible for only bigger rooms. Bigger the

room, more you have to spend and the more you enjoy. Bigger rooms can be an asset to

massive families.

It is certainly studied that bringing home a theater at a cheaper rate to avoid expenses is a

fabulous idea. The fact that you are able to enjoy the movies with your family and friends at

home can be such a refreshing feeling. Take your chances with this fantastic opportunity and

bring home some new life.



Home Theater For Small Spaces

One of the constraints many people have is space or their home theater systems. The person

might love home theaters and watching movies, but ends up sacrificing it thinking space is

insufficient. But with the growth of smaller and compact home theater systems, this notion is on

the verge of extinction. The ones who love to buy a home theater for their room need no longer

feel they aren’t gifted with space. Space is a hot topic these days and it keeps growing as

population keeps increasing. The emergence of apartment buildings, homes on compact lots,

condos has made us feel the space is even more confined than usual.

Families of people often feel the need for more space when they have bulky home theater

systems and floor speakers. The most encouraging and fabulous news for them would be a

home theater system that occupies minimal space. And now this can be achieved with the help

of ceiling mounted projectors and the rear projector televisions which fit nicely in the corners of

the walls. Wireless speakers replacing the usual ones with clustered wiring is also healthy news

for the people. The plasma and LCD television which can be mounted on he walls are also

acting to their convenience by saving them good space at their homes.

Space can be no more an issue at any home now because of the improvement in the range of

smaller electronic goods. Space was a mitigating factor earlier, but this thought is being

eradicated. With the availability of boxed kits of home theaters, there cannot be complains of

space at homes. Many find that this technological shift is a helping tool to save their worries for

better things. A lot of people have started to feel that compact and satisfying home theaters

substitute movie theaters effectively.

For those people who have lost interest on home theaters and still sinking in their notion that it

takes a lot of space should revamp their minds considering the technology of today. The

compact systems available in the market are enticing to many around the world. It doesn’t

matter if you live in an apartment with very little space, you will still manage to enjoy watching

movies. As a matter of fact, the smaller the space the better it works. Make sure you listen out

everything and also voice your opinion while discussing issues of space with the dealer just

before you buy them. It is safer and better to do it this way.



With the advancement in the systems nowadays, you will eventually find yourself saving a good

amount of space replacing the old ones. A ceiling projector gives you the extra space once it

installed by replacing the old and huge projector. The bulkier products can be replaced with

slimmer ones to make your room wide and spacey. Space can never be question any longer as

these compact home theaters allows you the extra freedom of movement.

The fact that anything can spring up in the market anytime and also the fact that you will never

know if the system suits you until you check them out. It is better to go and check them out

individually than buying them blindfolded. Consider the facilities and the atmosphere of your

room or house and buy the one which will be conducive at all cost.

Planning For A Home Theater

Gone are the days were shopping used to be just a good pastime. Shoppers of today are much

savvier and enthusiastic than the people of the past. The sophistication of shopping these days

is the result of the innumerable products available in the market which can be accessed with

just a click away from the sources available in the internet. We spend the money earned with a

lot of effort and pain in shopping. Whatever the reason might be, we try to learn as much as

possible about all our investments and methodically plan our expenses before the money leaves

our pockets.

This is a wonderful piece of news in many ways. There is hardly any room for the customers to

go wrong as there is enough education to be gained about the products in the market and this

proves to be really true for electronic goods. Home theater systems are becoming famous and

as the days pass more people are eager to acquire one. It is can be a massive advantage,

which you might realize late, to know and research about your products before committing to it.

The design of a home theater needs good time and effort dedicated to it.

For example, you might have a room at home for this purpose in mind, but have you thought

about the wiring you will need? Are the outlets in proper location to provide extra outlets if

necessary? Do you possess extra wring if extra speakers come your way? Would you consider

wireless speakers to evade this whole issue? These are only some of the questions that you will

be asking yourself. But this ought to be done to plan your home theater pragmatically and

prudently.

There is always one question which has to be answered while you are planning. Which are the

equipments of your system which you will be retaining and the ones you might be replacing

later? I would recommend this for anyone who desires a new system at home. Buy one

component at a time to build your home theater system than just buying a box off a shelf at one

go which has everything. Though you may get a good system by buying it off the shelf, you

attain satisfaction only by building it from scratch. You also have the luxury to choose the

equipment based on its price and quality. However, you should know to install them at home

one you have bought it.



Would you prefer a big cozy couch over a normal seating for your home theater? These kinds of

questions arise when you plan the layout of your room which contains the home theater system.

If you do not make the seating comfortable, movie watching experience might be spoilt

irrespective of all the facilities in the range of equipments you have. You can have a huge

television screen, but you ought to have good seating to compliment that. Do you think you can

provide that sort of a comfort in your theater?

Why don’t you disguise all the lengthy wires coming out of your system to ensure peaceful and

undisturbed movie watching? Use a reliable method to optimize this. Are you planning to add

gaming equipments to your home theater system? If yes, you will surely have to find a solution

to hide the extra wires to avoid any mix-up and also to make your room look neat and tidy.

But how do you plan to disguise all the wires coming out of the equipments? Built-in

entertainment centers though are available they can eat up a lot of space and can bring

ingenuity to your home theater. For this reason alone, I would recommend a floor-to-ceiling

center with doors which can be closed around features you are not using at that moment.

There can be no right or wrong while designing the home theater of your kind to your family and

friends, there are a few practicalities that you might need to consider. I hope this article has

shone some light on the planning aspect of a home theater system.



Home Theaters- Use Projectors To Get Movie-Theater-LikeFeel

Entertainment through movies is always something the young professionals of today need as a

recreational activity. Leading a stressful and hardworking life, they ought to have some sort of

enjoyment besides mere work. For those who cannot afford the daily tickets to a movie theater

or waste any time traveling to theaters can opt for home theaters. This system which can be

fitted in a room can give you the right mix of entertainment after a long day’s work. You not only

feel at home but also watch all the latest movies when you want to. If you can purchase the best

equipments to attain a decent home theater system, you can save the time of travel and your

money as well. Bring the sound and sight of movie theaters inside four walls of your room. It

guarantees relaxation and a delightful experience while watching the movie.

To capture real movie images and the feel of a movie theater you will need the basic

components like the speakers and the big screen. A projector, though, is the crux of the whole

system. However, the size of the place should be first considered before you decide on any

equipment for your home theater. If your room is quite small, the television or the screen might

be placed at the center and the speakers can occupy the rest of the room in right, left and

center positions. This perhaps will be enough to give you the sound effects like in a movie

theater. If you have the luxury for dedicating the home theater in a bigger room, a projector with

a big screen can be used. A projector can provide you the real-life experience like a movie

theater does. By having the right mix of the projector screen, the home theater projector and

surround speakers, a good home theater system can be established. A subwoofer and other

attachments related to speakers can give you the ultimate effect of a movie theater in your

room.

As far as the projectors for your home theater are concerned, there are so many different

varieties available. It could be vital to understand the features of the projectors before you

intend to buy them. Sometimes, the services of a home theater designer can be utilized in order

to perfect your home theater. If this is utilized in the right way, you may well avoid unnecessary

money on home theater systems including the projectors. Some will buy all the huge capacity

equipments for their home theater as they would hardly know anything about the choices they

have and what their home theater actually needs. A high capacity projector and a screen forms



the total set-up for a theater and this should be considered. A designer can also educate you

about the use of computers and projectors as a build-up to your home theater. The

technological innovation will not need the purchase of television sets for your system. InFocus

screenplay modes help to achieve this with the computers. The projectors are very lightweight

and the transportation of it is quite easy. This makes business presentations easy with home

theater projectors.

Home theater projector and screens provides the movie theater-type experience without any

doubt. Even for the business presentations, this set-up can be most useful and hence it is

gaining popularity. Though this is not something every home or office can afford and use, it has

certainly showed the way for people who are desperately want to set-up a home theater with a

television, DVD player and around three speakers in their room. Be clear with what you want for

your home and use all your options to its maximum. Relish every moment of your movie

watching by bringing home a good theater. Watch it in a relaxed manner with no haste at all.



Complete Your Home Theater Setup With Home TheaterSeating

After a stirring day of work in your workplace, your mind might badly want some sort of

relaxation. Movie Theater is where you would like to go and end the day. The sound and the

very sight of the theater can keep you relaxed and comfortable. However, planning for a movie

at the theater needs much more insight. There can be traffic jams that can annoy you and spoil

your mood. So traffic jams not only bring irritation but also makes you think of alternatives to

movie theaters. If you can bring home a theater-like system, you can enjoy watching movies

with your family and friends. It certainly will help you forget your tiredness and keep you

interested.

This was precisely why the whole concept of home theaters was introduced. The demand for

the home theaters is increasing every day and that is why you can find home theater furniture to

suit your room and requirements. This concept has started to reach people left right and center

yet slowly because of the economical needs of it. Even the middle-class families can now afford

home theater systems at their place at an affordable and enticing price. This whole cauldron of

home theaters are thus not only for the rich and famous.

The middle-class society is slowly getting the hang of things when it comes to electronic goods,

especially home theaters. They are educating themselves about the three basic components of

the system as well as the designs and equipments available to enhance the system. For the old

age, who prefer not to leave home, special home theater seating can be arranged so that they

enjoy watching the movie. The seating available is of innumerable types and quality. There are

seats with back support, reclining seats and other specially made ones for the old.

For people desiring a home theater at their place would like to know the three basic components

of home theater system. You might not need seating for your home theater if the room happens

to be small, the three components will be sufficient to give you the wholesome entertainment. If

your room seems to have a limited space, a recliner will do instead of big budget seating for a

home theater. The three components form the basics of a home theater: Television set, mostly

a 27inch or more preferred, three odd speakers on the left, right and center to enable the

surround sound effect, a DVD player, preferably with the progressive scan that can help to give



sharp images and undisturbed pictures. Even without a seating for your hoe theater, these three

components can enrich your experience of movie-watching.

The whole point of establishing a home theater is to enjoy and feel relaxed while watching a

movie. Watch your family sit in the home theater seating and enjoy it along with them. The kids

are sure to like it and feel happy that you have made this possible for them. It doesn’t matter if

you do not have a seating for small rooms. Suppose you have the luxury of a bigger room,

make the seating comfortable thus ensuring a complete package of home theater experience. A

television cabinet can be like an icing on the cake to your home theater. You can also go further

and make your seating wood same as that of the television cabinet.

The demand for more speakers arises when you have bigger rooms. For small rooms, the three

speakers mentioned in the basic requirements will be more than good. If you wish to add on, try

out subwoofers and other speakers in different positions to obtain the surround effect like in a

movie theater. This will enhance your total movie watching experience as you have provided a

complete package for your family. High-end seating is advised for people who want to relax

cozily after a heavy day’s work at the office. Sit back and tranquilize the experience of a home

theater. It can help you loosen up and simmer down your body.



Home Theater Speaker Basics

Speakers make the most essential and important component of a home theater system. It is

next to impossible to achieve a theater-like atmosphere if you do not have good speakers in

your home theater. To enjoy the sound of the movies you watch, it is very vital you have a good

range of speakers placed at the right spots. A surround sound effect cannot be created

otherwise. Only with such a good surround sound that can you enjoy watching any movie.

The speakers you will need to complete your home theater at your place are: front speakers on

the right and left, a central channel speaker, subwoofers and speakers for the surround sound.

In most of the home theaters, the central speaker is left out. It is recommended that centre

speakers are of great importance as they provide a good portion of soundtracks in movies and

also add depth and fullness to the dialogues spoken in the movie.

The surround speakers give you the background effect as it plays all the background scores of a

movie making it seem more realistic. Surround speakers are the ones which add more spice to

the whole experience and work you a bit more by adding the excitement. They can further help

to give you a theater-like feel while watching the movies. Common surround speakers available

include: 5.1 channel, 6.1 and 7.1 channel sound.

Subwoofers provide the ultimate effect of the deep bass sounds in the move soundtracks. It is

responsible in providing the thrill to a movie watching experience as it explicitly sounds drama

and emotion as well as suspense which are important while watching a movie. Subwoofers

become a more compulsory accessory for your home theater or you might miss out on a few

adrenaline pumps in the course of a movie. It enhances the whole atmosphere while watching

the movie and makes you feel like you are in a movie theater.

There is no doubt that the speakers available in the market is varied and diverse, but it is very

important to choose the right set of speakers which you think will give you the right mix for your

home theater. The optimum option is to buy a speaker kit which will have all the necessary

speakers for a theater. It could be tempting to try out different combinations of speakers in your

room but sometime this can act against you.



Apart from the many brands of speakers available these days, the styles of the speakers may

surprise you. Speakers that sit on bookshelves, floor speakers and satellite speakers are a few

speakers which are gaining popularity. Although so many varieties are available, floor speakers

are touted to do the best job of it all. But the disadvantage of these is its spacious requirements

as it can take up a lot of a space in your room. Hence wireless speakers and other options

seem to attract a little more attention.

There can be no right or wrong as far as speakers are concerned. They definitely have a

massive and immense impact on a home theater system. Without them it is just not possible to

watch or enjoy movies. Speakers, though, vary with taste of people. Some prefer controlling the

volume of the system and taking their own good time to watch the movie while some watch it for

the feel of it. However, speakers create a good all-round effect and certainly make movie-

watching a worthy experience.



Proper Seating Key To Home Theater Enjoyment

When you decide to purchase individual components and parts and build it up to a home

theater, you should understand that there is lot more to it. We tend to forget a few things as our

soul aim is to just get a home theater system and watch movies. A good home theater is

something more than mere television watching at your will. You need to ensure a proper and a

neat room with decent facilities to enjoy what is going on in the television set. This would not be

enough just for two or three but for anyone who steps into your home theater.

One of the many ways ere you can ensure your family or buddies to have considerable fun in

your home theater is to arrange for good seating and keep them very comfortable. No one likes

to watch a movie on an uncomfortable and itchy seat. The seating options available these days

are immense. The best of them all is the most sought-after ‘theater recliner’. There are even

people who barge into home theater for the love for their seats. However, I recommend seats

which can aloe people to put their feet up. This is what you probably might not get when you go

to a movie theater. The theater recliners you buy today mostly have this option.

The theater recliner can be so attractive because of its armrests and a place to hold drinks.

Anyone watching a movie would love to have a few munches of food and rests his hands cozily;

this theater recliner can give it all. The seats can be clubbed with others and so you can enjoy

the experience with your buddies next to you. Bringing the feel of a movie theater home is such

a massive feeling.

Lounger chairs are the other options available to you. You can, in fact, have both theater

recliners and lounger chairs to get the retro-type feel or set-up ‘bistro’ tables. This can be mighty

interesting if you sit for pizzas that night while watching movie. It can also be liked by children

who need a table to eat and watch the movies on television. It is the best way where you can

expect your family to unite.

If you have really ventured out to get a good system of home theater for your home, you should

also be considering a big comfy couch or a sofa to make everyone comfortable while sitting and

watching. The comfort that a fat sofa can provide is immense. The couch along with the snuggly

blankets can be the most soothing seating for a person watching a movie, especially in winter.



The kids are sure to like it as they can cuddle and play around watching a comic flick or some

interesting cartoons.

Funky furniture and toys can make your theater a little more kids-friendly. They are sure to enjoy

it with their moms or dads cuddling around. There won’t be anyone fighting for their favorite

seats and movie-watching might get peaceful. Rope in a few more trendy and funky stuffs for

your kids to enjoy and also impress your visitors.

As you can see, building up a home theater is no trivial thing. It is a huge jigsaw puzzle where

you have to get your combination right to impress people. Although the three components of the

system can be well established at your theater, it is the seating which might matter at the end of

the day. Giving your guests all the comfort in the world, giving them enough room to rest and

enjoy the movie is what you would love to see. Small things like providing them good soft

pillows when they feel cold, giving them seats with armrests and a place to keep to their food

can help a great deal in improving your theater. Try out all the options when it comes to seating,

the bottom line being to make them as comfort table and home as possible.



Setting Up A Surround Sound System, Even On A TightBudget

Owning a home theater has lot of benefits such as entertaining yourself or your family and

guests. However, it can prove to be a major investment in your life. Even if you find yourself

amidst a tight budget you should be able to purchase a surround system of your interest.

Consider all the facilities back home when you go to purchase speakers as it can give you an

idea about what kind of speakers’ suit you and your room.

If you would like to follow this path, maybe not everyone would, you can fetch yourself a

fabulous set of surround speakers at a good price. Not many like to go for a second-hand set of

speakers, anything in electronics is such a risk for that matter. If you have a modest

salesperson to deal with, then you can think of considering this option. E-bay seems to be the

most popular source for surround speaker equipments, but again you have got to be careful.

Check out the classified ads in the newspaper and refer a few local pawnshops if you wish to.

While most of them like to buy surround systems piecewise, a few like to buy it at one go.

Buying your sound system piece after piece can be a healthy option only when your budget is

quite high. For people with lower budgets, it is better to purchase a ready-made kit of surround

speakers and fix them in your room. Even the famous Bose speakers give you this kind of a

choice.

If you are not very willing to hassle a second-sale system or buy a boxed kit of speakers, it is

very vital you think about and compare the costs with the merchants in order to get the best deal

out of it. This can be very wise when your budget is not great. However, the most important

thing to keep in mind is the quality of the products you buy.

If you have set your eyes on one particular surround sound system and might not be able to get

it due to budget limit, wait for the prices to drop down or do some overtime work in order to

make extra cash. Do not commit yourself into a buy with debts as it can be really difficult later

on to pay it back. It isn’t a good idea for surround speakers. As every new item makes its entry

in to the market, the prices of the old ones get diminished, so wait for the right time and pounce



on the offer. Think of venturing into new businesses to get extra cash from somewhere or just

wait for the prices to be slashed to see a good surround system at your place.

It can be never easy to shop on a meager budget, true, but never feel miserable about it. You

will always be able to find new deals in the market. All you need is will power and the patience.



Space Saving Surround Sound Solutions

Space is something everyone would love to have enough of and use them efficiently. Some

good and lengthy space at home always induces us to occupy it with something. Surround

sound systems of a home theater, nowadays, come in such sizes and shape that it beats the old

notion of having too much space for it. The systems occupy very little space that one need not

worry about sacrificing something for it. Though satellite speakers are getting popular, the effect

and quality form floor speakers are unbeatable. The quality of such small and good speakers is

evolving in the market, eradicating the bulkier ones.

Space is something that is becoming a hot-topic in today’s world. People have started

discussing issues with space and its problem dealing with the growing technology. More the

products coming in to the market, more it reaches the people and more they are tempted to buy

them. This way the space becomes a huge a problem. Making the systems slimmer and stream-

lined has become the latest resort to these companies. The technology in the wireless speakers

is being appreciated now as people know their difficulties with speakers with long and annoying

wires coming out of them. Anything that is occupying less space to them is being welcomed.

These are some of the finest technologies that are evolving in our daily market and it is very

heartening to see it happen.

The other helping and encouraging factor is the affordability of these systems. Due to the

involvement of many companies with the electronic goods, it is actually acting to the advantage

of the buyers as the prices go down heavily. If space is what is troubling you and evading your

mind from buying a home theater system or even a surround sound system, you will find your

aggravation to an end. The components in electronics are getting smaller, thanks to technology,

and so it becomes easy to accommodate everything at your place. Do not let off your movie

watching pleasure just for lack of space. You can have the best of both the worlds: space and

sound. The quality of the speakers can be fantastic if you wish to spend a little more of your

time when you are buying these speakers. Test them before you fix your eye on it as its very

important. Make sure you do not let yourself down after you have purchased it.

Apart from the fantastic space saving ability of the smaller systems coming up, you might even

find a good bargain if you wish to buy a boxed kit of a home theater or a surround system rather



than buying them individually. I always fear the boxed kits of home theater or surround systems

because of the quality of it. But now I am more aware of it and more willing to buy the box sets

as I trust the quality of them. The difference in the prices between the box sets and the

individual components is very significant to me and hence I prefer it. Anyone would love to have

good systems grabbed at a lower cost.

So does it not only save a good amount of space but also saves real money. You will feel happy

to make this deal as you know that once you had yourself cribbing about space and money

wasted on these systems. Power is smoothing you need not bother about. Quality is everything

you need to care considering the size of your room and a few other factors. Quality of the

sound should be tested with all the facilities you have and notified immediately to the dealer if

you find a problem with it. This basically sums up that these smaller sound systems are

definitely ideal for the amount of space you willing to donate.



Speaker Quality Speaks Volumes

A home theater comprises of a number of pieces, components and parts, the most important

part being the surround speakers. It’s the surround speakers that give you the movie theater

effect ultimately. While the other parts and pieces can be bought over a period of time, it’s the

speakers which need to be dedicated importance, priority over its buy. It has to be bought

together in a kit or as a set rather than mixing and delaying time on it. The quality of the sound

might be tampered.

Surround sound system needs to be devoted good time and thinking before it is bought as it is

by far the most important component of a home theater system. You can tamper around with

tuners, receivers and amplifiers but with speakers, it might back-fire you. They need to be

bought with patience and one shouldn’t regret in the end about the quality of the speakers being

bad. Sound quality has to be good irrespective of the investment you decide to pool in for the

system.

Everyone loves to watch movies, no doubt, and they relish every moment because of the sound

quality they are exposed to. For some it might be the mere smell of popcorn or the flavored

soda fountains which excites them, but ultimately one enjoys the theater experience. For the

movie lovers, the sound of the theater is what they consider the biggest asset to a theater. They

come to the theater to watch movies for this even if they have interruptions thanks to the kids,

cellular phones and nature calls.

The thing which can bring up a big smile on the faces of these movie buffs is the fact that this

same facility can be brought home too. This particular facility, thanks to technology, comes at

even lower prices these days. This plays to the advantages of the buyer as the demand and its

up-gradation is helping them. The speed of the up-gradation of these electronic items is

appalling. I, in fact, remember seeing prices of DVD players at around $300 for the basic of the

models. But now, for around $30 you can buy a very good model and be satisfied. They have

good features and mostly meet the quality of the original. Can you place yourself in a situation

where you will be selling surround sound systems for a very few in the coming years?



As we can all see, prices of these home theater systems, more specifically the surround sound

systems are dropping to a great extent. Earlier brands of color and shade used to be sold in the

market for low prices, to improve the supply of the company, and bad quality. The competition in

the market today is very healthy and provides innumerable options for the people. The fantastic

offers also keep improving as new products come into the market. The box sets are slowly

gaining popularity in the market.

Mind you, you will have to buy the system and test yourself before you intend to buy it. This is

very important as it’s a huge investment and lapses can make you feel distraught later.

Purchasing a surround system is no small investment financially nor is it easy to buy them and

set it up. It takes something from a person to devote time and a lot of energy on it before buying

them. Testing them while buying can help you a lot as surround systems might sound different

in different places. It can be misleading at times as the sound coming of the system depends on

the room and atmosphere. If you hastily buy a set of speakers, it can really be disappointing.

Use the starting 10 minutes from the movie Top Gun to test your system. Remember to buy a

DVD of this before you enter the shop. If the sound coming out of the speaker beats you and

mesmerizes everyone, you should consider buying it.



Surround Sound For Meager Budgets

Purchasing a surround sound system for your home theater on a meager budget is no

impossible event. As a matter of fact, it is easy to buy that stuff with any budget in hand these

days. The thing you might have to sort out clearly in your head is that you will get any surround

system irrespective of the budget in hand. It is just that the better ones cost more and the quality

seems to be a little better. The quality differs in the sound from these systems and if you

actually have the time to shop carefully and methodically, you will find a good surround system

for yourself even at a good low budget. It is not, as with speakers, that you need high budget for

speakers.

The very first thing when it comes to purchasing speakers is setting your priorities. If you are

decisive on your purchase of a surround sound system, keep your focus on it without any lapse

in priority. When it comes to quality or saving money with surround speakers, it is better to buy

them individually than opting for the box kits which comes along with the home theater. The only

advantage with the boxed kits is that you get it with a DVD player. One normally tends to

compromise on the speakers while buying a kit for the home theater. Not only do you save good

money by buying the speakers on loose, you also get to know the better quality ones and buy

them. Even with the DVD players or the DVR players you can get better quality when you buy

them as a stand alone system.

You will find all the components of a surround sound system including the speakers at all kind of

rates in the market. You might have to buy a complete kit of the surround systems to check

them out with the quality of the sound a movie theater could provide. These systems can be

bought at astounding prices and it will be hard to believe it to be sold at low costs. If you have

the patience in you to wait for better models, you might get luckier at the end of the day.

Have a budget well prepared before you set for shopping and most importantly keep your talks

within your budget. There can be the usual temptations to spend more money on your speakers

going beyond the budget, but try to resist your temptations. Bigger screens, a good huge

subwoofer, impeccable amplifiers are some of the things were temptations never really ceases.

The important thing when you go for shopping is that not only should you buy the best products



at a decent price but also stick to the budget already set and try not exceeding it. It can give you

so much satisfaction and also give you the room to spend more lately on quality things.

One way to stick to your already planned budget is to purchase a 5.1 surround sound system

which will have 6 speakers including a subwoofer and then upgrade it to a 7.1 speaker system.

This provides flexibility in your purchase as you will be able to improve on your speakers at any

time depending on the money flow. Though none can assure you about the budget going out of

hand while upgrading the already bought product, it is definitely a good method to purchase

speakers. So it is best to buy a good reliable system and then feed on it till you find the need for

its up-gradation.

Despite the fact that home theater sound systems are expensive, you will have enough to buy

and own a good system for yourself and enhance it whenever you find the need for it. The

golden rule is to take all the time in the world to compare prices of these systems before you

buy it, think about what you really desire and start small. By doing this you will not only feel

satisfied with your decision but also would have saved a good amount of money.



Home Theater Systems For The Kids- Not A Bad Idea!

If you have a huge family behind you who loves watching movies, the best gift you can think of

is a second home theater for the little ones in your family. Often an interesting Sunday game

clashes with a famous Disney cartoon which the kids in our family love watching. These occur

so many times at home and often either I or the kids end us in disappointment. This is precisely

why a second home theater isn’t a bad idea. You can even use the home theater at your

advantage when the kids have gone to learn their lessons.

A second home theater system has a lot of benefits tagged along, lest it’s because of a

breakdown of your first one. Sometimes I was left to wonder if I would ever see my kids again,

when I was building the second home theater, but honestly, they have a different taste of

movies or music which they watch on TV and it can even differ with their brothers or sisters.

The fact that our television is bigger than theirs will not only attract them towards it but also one

wouldn’t hide them away from doing anything related to the room it is in.

About the benefits of the second home theater, kids, nowadays, learn to establish schedules

and taking turns among them. They are slowly learning to make choices responsibly and also

work in unison on occasion and compromising on their favorite shows nearing its end but not

fully over. It is awesome to watch them more matured and cooperating. Not only does it allow

them to bring over their friends and watch movies also it adds a wee bit of responsibility to them

with the cleaning up of the room. They learn to keep their things tidy and neat, which I think is

the best reason to buy a new home theater for the kids.

The benefits of the second home theater, apart from the above mentioned, are many more. You

allow your kids to learn to keep things safely inside the room apart from it being neat. It teaches

them what it means to beak costly components of the system and hence the responsibility

comes along. It makes them more matured as these small things can teach them good lessons

for the future. They gradually will start to learn how to use the home theater with care by not

pulling the CDs from shelves or throw things at the home theater and operating them with butter

fingers. This is something that everyone would love to see in their kids and so it’s a good reason

to buy a second home theater for your home.



As we just saw, a home theater is an excellent tool for bringing discipline and decorum in the

kids. It is far better than reprimanding them on issues with surround system or home theater in

your room. It is better to deal with it straight rather choosing what I call the hurting path for the

kids. You ill not only bring a good person in your kid, also will you get him to attain maturity with

expensive products.

While many believe that a home theater or a surround system for the kids is overkill, I stand firm

believing it adds a lot of responsibility to their personality and thereby preparing them to face the

outside world.
