Yamaha YHT-S401BL Front Surround Home Theater System Sale Price: $584.95 |
am has come true. Your home theater is finally in place and your lovely wife is finally speaking to you again. But wait. There's something missing. What? Home theater accessories...damn! Back on non-speaking terms with my better half.
Is this a scenario you're familiar with? You know, you don't have to resort to an Al and Peg Bundy type of relationship over a home theater accessory. It doesn't have to be an expensive burden. A home theater accessory can be anything from the remote to a movie poster. An a home theater accessory doesn't have to hurt your hip pocket.
There are a myriad of choices from which you will have to choose the home theater accessory that catches your eye and will, finally, allow you to be content. Such things as, cabinets, headphones, remote controls or those add-on boxes that promise better-than-movie-theater audio (gratefully, sans the uneducated, loudmouth female that runs a non-stop commentary about the movie as it plays).
All right, from the above list, what is the home theater accessory that meets all of your needs (or wants)? You say you are confused and would like to narrow the field a bit. Well, by trying to keep the cost below $50 you do limit the home theater accessory list that you can shop from.
The ones to instantly rule out due to cost are the cabinet (a good one), add-on audio boxes, and even most decent quality headphones. So, by default, you are left with the home theater accessory known as the “universal” remote control. You say you already have way too many remotes and ask why you would need another, universal or otherwise.
I Need A Remote First And Foremost
Well, a high quality, universal remote control can help you put away all of those other ones and lessen the risk of losing them. While some remote controls can cost well over $100, if you look carefully, you will find a number of excellent units under $50.
There are several features that you need in order to make the purchase and programming of your universal remote control worthwhile. Be sure that your chosen remote has the ability to “learn” your equipment by reading the button presses on the original remote. This feature should be in addition to a direct list of various manufacturers that allows you to program the remote by tapping a few keys. Another feature that is required is ergonomically correct buttons and their placement on the remote.
The home theater accessory that gives the most “bang for the buck” is the universal remote control. Careful shopping can result in an excellent unit that helps free your personal space of excess remote control clutter as well as combine and enhance their function in one, easy to use unit. As is obvious by now, the home theater accessory that really hits the spot is the universal remote control.
Now back to you know who. Standing there rubbing your chin and thinking..."hey, that doesn't sound too expensive. I think I'll come straight out and tell her." Remember, the home theater accessory basically compliments the home theater and has it's own role to play but it doesn't have to break the budget. After all, even if you start at the cheaper end of the scale, really, you're the one you're going to have to satisfy... and, er... you know who.
