So you have decided to purchase a home theater system. You know what you want and how much you're willing to spend. Have you given much thought to some of the basics? Certainly the centerpoint of any home theater set up is the television.

After all, it's what you're going to be looking at. The television needs to fit in with the surrounding confines. Have you thought about what size television you want? Will it fit your home theater room nicely? Considerations like these must be uppermost in your mind because depending on the size of your room, the television must be the appropriate size to fit within the dimensions of your home theater.

Home Theater Buying Tips

When looking for a good home theater television, people take all sorts of factors into account. It is important to look at the quality of the television’s picture, the color sharpness, and some of the other options available to you to see how the television fits into your theater vision overall.

If the contrast on a television is too much in one direction or the other, it may be something you need to address before you make a purchase.

Flat screen, LCD, flat panel plasma televisions and regular tube televisions are all on the market today as options for your home theater system’s television set. Familiarize yourself with these options and the pros and cons of each of them.

You should be able to gather a good amount of information to enable you to comparison shop between the types of televisions and the brand names of television to find the best fit for what your theater section calls for.

Custom Home Theater

If you've long wished you could enjoy cinema-style entertainment right from the comfort of your own home then setting up a home theater system is not really that difficult and it can be extremely cost effective. Quality audio and visual presentation all at the control of your fingertips.

Custom home theater is becoming more and more popular and the best thing is it's becoming a lot more affordable. With digital audio home theater sound to compliment your favorite movie or sporting event, home theater is taken to a whole new level.

Enjoy Your Very Own Home Movie Theater

People are getting very particular about their own home movie theater. With technology moving forward at warp speed levels, consumers are cashing in on some great home movie theater deals. Home theater audio quality has to be heard to be believed these days while home theater accessory choice is better than ever.

So what is the best home theater system on the market. Bose home theater is hard to beat and very popular but some due diligence on your part needs to be performed . The best place to start undoubtedly is online, that's why you are here.

Here's a tip; before you head to your home movie theater outlet, learn as much about home theater as you can. When you're mixing it with a salesperson, you'll earn a little more respect if you can talk home theater at their level. And let me tell you, more chance of getting a better deal.

One of the problems you run into when you're on a budget and not really up to speed with the home theater language you could put yourself at the mercy of a savvy salesperson. The last thing you want to do is spend money on stuff you don't really need and don't blame the salesperson, they are simply doing their job.

Yes, depending on your options you can use Toslink (digital optical -- the little pentagonal connector with the red light), digital coaxial (brown RCA cable) or 5 red/white RCA-pairs to connect BD to HT (home theater).
I'm guessing you mean you have an HTIB (home theater in a box), so Toslink is your best bet. It is a pure digital transmission with zero electromagnetic interference (because it's literally pulses of light, not an electric signal carried over an inducible copper wire).

We all spend a large amount of time and money making sure that the interior of our homes is right. This is because not only do we want to live somewhere that looks nice but is also very practical and comfortable. As a result of this more and more people are opting to put their Samsung TV's for example on wall mounts rather than conventional floor stands. But how do you know where is the right position in a room for your Samsung wall mount to be placed?

In this article we offer some tips that you may find useful that will determine where in a room is the best position to place the wall mount for your Samsung TV.

Tip 1 - When looking for the position where you are intending to place your wall mounted TV then it is a good idea to make a template from card or paper the size of the TV. Then you can temporarily place this in the position that you are considering installing the wall mount to see if it the best position. Once you have put the template on the wall now sit on chairs in various parts of the room to ensure that you can clearly view the TV screen at all times.

Tip 2 - Along with making sure you choose the right location for your Samsung wall mount make sure that you put it at the right height. In the majority of rooms pictures we hang will be set at a height relevant to our eye sight as well walk around. But when it comes to mounting a TV on a wall it will need to be slightly higher. This not only improves the position that you are viewing the TV from but also prevents your neck hurting as you strain to look at the screen.

When you get a home theater, you are probably really excited about your new TV. But a lot of people over look that maybe getting a sound system in addition to the speakers that come with the TV is a good idea. You can get surround sound, or just large speakers to attach to the TV. Getting clear sound along with the new flat screen clear picture helps to make for the ultimate movie experience. Whatever you decide to do, you can be sure that you are going to be getting the best movie experience possible when you combine a new TV with a new sound system. Surround sound is most popular for when people buy Home Theaters, and they are perfect to replicate that movie like room. In a movie theater, speakers are located all around you, not just in front of you. Duplicate that feeling with better speaker quality and surround sound!

Surround sound comes in a lot of different kinds of features, from stand alone speakers that you can put anywhere in the room, or wall mounts that you put in each corner of the room. Whatever you decide to do with your speakers, you will find that you can get great sound quality, from even the cheapest of surround sound systems you buy. You do not need to worry about blowing huge amounts of money, and you can find a sound system that fits your budget and all of your movie watching needs.

If you do not want to get surround sound, then additional, high quality speakers are also available that plug right into your TV. This is the best way to get great sound and not have to worry about installing a sound system. Speakers are relatively inexpensive, and you can get them easily at any store, whether it's the local sound store or just at Wal-Mart. Speakers just plug right into your TV, and you do not need to worry about lots of complicated wires. The only thing you have to do is to install and get ready to watch your favorite movie in your Home Theater!

Hooking up an xbox to a JVC DVD home theater system?

I have a JVC DVD Digital TH-M303 Home Theater system. The connections on my TV are old and produce a highly distorted xbox picture. I want to hook it up to the dvd system because the DVD picture quality on the screen is excellent, I just don't know where to plug in the cables in the back of the DVD unit. Can anyone help me?

The two previous answers sound pretty good, but let me add my 2 cents. If you are having a problem getting it to work, then you will have to change the input on the DVD player. For example, I have a DVD recorder that has mulptiple inputs (cable, s video and even red/white/yellow input on the front).

Remember this, just because your DVD looks good on the TV doesn't mean that your xbox will look as good because your audio and video is only as strong as your weakest connection. To further clarify, if you are running component video and optical audio from your DVD player to your TV and running left/right/video (red/white/yellow cables) from your xbox to your DVD player, then the best reception you can hope for is the red/white/yellow.

Home Theater Systems are wonderful pieces of home audio equipment that are prevalent in many homes today. However one of the major issues of today's home theater systems is the massive amount of wires needed to set one up correctly.

If you have ever set-up a normal 2-speaker stereo system you have not even done half of the work it takes to set up a true home theater experience in your home! Most systems today have 5 satellite speakers and one sub woofer. High end systems can have up to 7 satellite speakers and a sub woofer! The wires not only must reach each speaker individually, but also must be of a decent enough quality to not be interfered with by any other electronic devices your wires may pass by. Not to mention the unsightliness of a "rats nest" of wires behind your entertainment system and wires running along the floor and behind furniture.

Enter wireless home theater technology! While wireless home theater systems don't necessarily mean a completely wireless home theater set-up. Mostly the wireless aspects are found in the rear satellite speakers and the sub woofer, the speakers that are furthest away from the source of your sound. And, while there are some great systems on the market, the quality of such systems still have some improvement before they can truly replace a properly wired home theater system. Yet if what's standing in your way of having a great home theater experience is wiring, then this solution is ideal for you!

Another option is to run the wires through the walls. This is what most professional installers do however in order to do it right you must know the layout of the studs in your walls and/or ceilings. You must use proper wiring that you know for sure will not deteriorate over time. And of course, you must know how to patch your walls and ceilings correctly so your work will be neat and not so obvious. You could also hire a contractor for this type of work but it could get quite expensive.

To run the wires underneath your carpet and/or rug is another option. This option is a bit of a pain as well because if not done properly the work can be quite evident if the speaker wires are of any significant thickness.

Both options mentioned above, however, can be quite frustrating when it comes to troubleshooting any issues you have after setting up your home theater system.

In conclusion, the price and level of sophistication you want to put into such a project will probably determine the viability of each option. However, with wireless home theater systems, you are guaranteed less work and easier troubleshooting which equals less frustration and more time enjoying your home theater system with your family and friends. Not to mention all the compliments you will get for the cleanliness and high end nature of your system compared to what others may have at their home!

Where do I place ceiling speakers in my living room?

I have two ceiling speakers that I"m looking to use for just general music listening. I have a long room, about 35' long, which is a combined living room / dining room. There is no one spot that I plan to sit and listen; sometimes I'll be in the dining room area, sometimes in the living room. Where would be a good place to place the two speakers? Right in the middle of the room? On one end and on the other?

i'll have to agree with the guy above me with 4 in each corner or 1 in each room

ed your partner acting a little anxious lately? Have you considered he might be about to embark on a quest to spruce up your home entertainment with a DVD home theater system? Madam, I'm here to tell you don't fight it.

The DVD home theater system era has arrived and it's here to stay. Consumers are discovering in droves how a DVD audio home theater system can liven up even the dullest domains and people love the idea of being able to watch their favorite movie or sporting event from the comfort of their own lounge chair with all the "bells and whistles" that go with it.

What Is A DVD Home Theater System?

A DVD home theater system is any audiovisual set up that tries to recreate the experience of a movie theater. You can probably cobble something together with components you find at garage sales, or you can buy a DVD home theater system in a box, or you can buy separate components.

Tell Me What The Components Are

Basically, you need a DVD player, an AV receiver, something to watch the movie on and some speakers. Let’s start with the heart of the DVD home theater system: the AV receiver. The AV receiver is often combined with a radio tuner, and it’s the control box for your whole system. You plug all your components into the AV receiver, including peripherals like your CD player and VCR.

You need a DVD player. You need something to play the movie on. An old-fashioned CRT TV works and some people think it gives you the best picture. You can also get HDTV’s, plasma and LCD flat panel TV’s, rear projection TV’s and video projection systems.

Finally, you need speakers. Typically, DVD home theater system produce “surround sound” which requires four to five speakers and a sub-woofer, and now a days with 7.1 even 7 speakers. The speakers are placed around the room to simulate theater sound. The sub-woofer is used to produce the very low frequency base sounds.

How Do I Set Up My DVD Home Theater System?

DVD home theater system is usually easy to set up, and follow simple logic. The pre-packaged systems are the easiest to set up. If your husband is considering a complicated or custom system, you might suggest having a CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association) certified installer put it in. It might even be worth having a CEDIA installer look at the room before hand to suggest specific options for your DVD home theater system.

Will My Place Look A Mess With Wires Everywhere?

It doesn’t have to be. There are many ways to make your new DVD home theater system attractive. You can put the components in a media stand, or hide them in a media armoire. There are television concealment systems you can buy that hide the TV behind a panel. Speakers are available that are small and easily hidden, attractive and wireless.

There are some other things to consider before you install your DVD home theater system. For example are your walls soundproof? Do you know how far sound will travel from your home. The good news is you can have this done effectively with drywall. You may even contemplate darkening the room a la theater style by purchasing screens that will blackout any outside light.

And of course, if you really want to get into the theater mood why not purchase special theater lounge chairs. Yes, there are so many "bells and whistles" to consider when you're thinking a DVD home theater system.

What is a good DVD home theater system?

I was looking to replace an RCA home theater system that has recently gone bad, and I'm kinda stumped on what/where to buy. What I'm looking for in a system is:

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-JDWUQjDNqIO/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=37700&tab=features_and_specs&i=158DAVX375#Tab

This is what I found based on your criteria. This is one of the few all-in-one systems that have more than one digital audio input. This will allow you to connect your PS2/PS3 and your Dish network to your surround sound system using digital audio (which is what you'll want).

Most of these systems do not have coaxial output anymore. What you'll need to get is this:

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-JDWUQjDNqIO/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=rf+modulator&i=209MINI

I am a professional in the field of audio/video and can tell you that I have had a Sony all-in-one and loved it before I upgraded it to a
component system.

Hope this helped!

anyone have problems with screen wrinkles or waves in manual projection screens? Better of with a DIY fixed?

I am putting together a small home theater for christmass. I have th projector, surround sound.

I am glad you didn't buy the manual pull down screen. You will not be very happy with it. Cheap ones develop wrinkles fairly quickly and they will blow in the AC distorting your image.

Your best choice is to go with a fixed frame screen or make one yourself. Making one is going to cost you more than you think, especially since you can't paint your wall. Why not get a good fixed frame screen online. There are two companies that have very high quality fixed frame screens and the manufacturers sell only direct on the internet. Carada and Tribal Screens are the only ones who can give you quality at the lowest price.

I have a 92" Triba Projector Screen in my home theater with a Mitsubishi 720p HD projector. I love the picture quality. It is incredible!!!! When you move you can take your screen with you. As technology changes, you are going to upgrade your projector faster than you will your screen. It is worth the investment.

How do I get my MP3 player to work on my home computer?

I recently got a Sansa Fuze 8 GB mp3 player and first used it at work. It came w/ a Rhapsody cd and 15 day free trial. I downlaoded the cd on work computer, as I do not have internet at home. But when i plugged the MP3 player at home my computer did not recognize it like my work comp immediately did. What do i need to do?

On your work computer: when you put in the Rhapsody CD did it also install a program to sync your mp3 player?

Some devices require you to install the syncing program so that the computer driver can recognize when you plug it in. Even though you might not have the internet at home, maybe you could try putting in the CD...
