Home Theater

A home theater system can transport you from the comfort of your living room recliner to a place far, far away as sight and sound immerse the senses. The realism of this cinematic experience can be yours if you know exactly what to buy in order to assemble a top quality system.

There are three main components that every home theater system shares. These are a television, the bigger and wider the screen the better, a DVD player, and a good quality set of surround-sound speakers.

A television of 27 inches or more is what you need for your home theater system, and the newer wide-screen models are much preferred for the home theater experience. Most of the DVD movies you can buy or rent are produced in a wide-screen format. A wide-screen television is closer in shape to an actual movie screen than a conventional TV, plus most of these big beauties are also high resolution sets. This assures a picture that is a lot sharper and clearer than older televisions. You can choose either a flat panel plasma or LCD TV, a rear-projection TV, or a front-projection TV with a separate movie screen.

Look for a DVD player that can handle the high definition DVD disc formats. Almost all players are able to play DVD movies, music CDs, and MP3s and movies recorded onto CD-R /RW and DVD-R/RW discs. Look for a multi disc player so you can keep several movies and music CDs loaded for playback without having to get up from your seat. A DVD player with progressive scan insures you a clear, sharp picture. You might also want to consider a DVD player/recorder, which can record movies and television programs onto blank discs for your own personal use. DVD-R recorders also have large hard drives onto which you can download and store your favorite shows.

Your home theater system’s audio sound can come from a starter set consisting of center, left, and right speakers, plus a subwoofer for more robust bass sounds. Check reviews in audiovisual magazines for the best rated speakers. It would be a good idea to try to listen to what comes out of your speakers before you buy them, so you can best judge whether the sound will be suitable for your needs. Take your time and visit several different stores before you make your final selection.
