Installing A Home Theater System

Owen Jones | November 13, 2011

It is sure that the most important consideration in setting up a home theater set-up is the size of the room where you will set up the home theater system. Therefore, the size of the most important part of a home theater set-up, which is the television, is also reliant on the size of the room. Regardless of the size of the room, the minimum suggested size of the screen is 28 inches.

A flat screen television is also suggested, because it will cut down on reflections and glare. Speakers are also dependent on the size of the room. Obviously, you would require more speakers in a very large room than in a small one.

You might want to put a lot of small speakers in a large room or one large speaker in a small room. The acoustics of the room is an important issue in this. Therefore, I recommend that you either get an expert in or get a wireless sound set-up that can be built upon.

The average number of speakers in a starter system in an average sized room would be five or six. The more speakers you use, up to a point, the greater the reality, but lots of speakers also means that you do not need thunderous volume too. There are many considerations when it comes to the sound – far more than with the screen.

You will want surround sound, with woofers, sub woofers, treble and bass speakers all with the Dolby control set-up, probably all controlled by a graphic equalizer. All these controls can be confusing, but once you have the sound right, you will know it. It will sound like a full-sized movie theater.

Another important constituent of your home theater system is the DVD player. Your DVD player really must have a progressive scan. This is because a progressive scan produces sharp and flicker-free pictures. However, the progressive scan facility depends on the television unit, because not all television sets support progressive scan signals.

An possible upgrade might be a five-disk carousel DVD player. All of these things also depend on the amount of money you have, of course. However, if money is short, start with the best DVD player you can afford and use a few old speakers and the biggest television set you can get hold of. Later, you can upgrade the television or the speakers.

The furniture is crucial too. You have to feel as if you are undergoing a special experience. The goal is to have reclining seats, but you can start with large bean bags. Add air conditioning and a fridge for cold drinks and a few tables for nuts and candy and you are almost there.

My concluding touches would be old movie posters, photos of movie stars, a collection of autographs would be great, a replica Oscar and any other memorabilia you can think of. Then set all this off with some subtle lighting that you can raise or dim as required.

Sound, camera, action!

Your Guide To Custom Home Theaters

Owen Jones | June 5, 2010

Watching movies is a great way to escape from the stressful life we all lead these days. Watching movies on a wide screen with surround sound can transport you away from that stress into the plot of the movie you are watching. You live the plot it as if you were really there in the movie itself.

Until recently, we could only experience this escapism in a cinema. However, modern technology is able to provide the same visual and sound experience right in your own living room. We will discuss the basic components of a home theater system in this article. Read on to understand how these basic components can deliver the best cinematic experience in a custom home theater system.

Home theater experts say that the most important factor in setting up a custom home theater system is the size of the location where you will install your custom home theater system. The most important factor in the home theater system – the television – is dependent on the size of the room, although the contention is that a 27 inch television set is the minimum necessary for your home theater installation.

It is also a recommendation that a flat screen television is advisable for a home theater system because it shows fewer reflexions and produces a crisper image. Another major component of a custom home theater system which depends on the size of the room, is the speaker system.

The number of speakers for your custom home theater system is dependent on the size of the room. You need at least three speakers to create surround sound, but you may place up to six speakers, if you want a more lifelike sound. Adding a subwoofer may also be a good way to achieve a complete surround sound like in the movie theaters. Three speakers is the minimum, although you may need up to six if the room is big.

Another major piece of kit for your custom home theater system is the DVD player. It is recommended that DVD players with a progressive scan are the best choice. This is because a progressive scan reproduces a sharp , flicker-free image. However, this depends on the choice of television unit; you will need to make sure that your flat-screen television set supports ‘progressive scan’ protocols. You may also want to get DVD player with a five-disk carousel. This will mean you don’t have to get up from your chair to change the discs so often.

A minor cause for thought is the output of the DVD player since that will decide how loud your speakers can be turned up. Of course, almost all this depends on the size of the location in which the home theater system is going to be installed. Small rooms need only a few pieces of equipment, bigger rooms probably require more and the addition of specialist home theater furniture to your custom home theater system will make a huge difference. So, a larger room calls for greater investment. A smaller room does require less, but nevertheless good quality equipment to avoid a feeling of ‘cheapness’ and under-performance in your home theater system.

And finally, you might want to consider hiring an expert in home theater in order to set up a beautifully designed custom home theater system. If you have te money, this is definitely the best way to go, because a home theater expert will be able to design and set up your custom home theater more effectively .

Your custom home theater designer may also recommend installing some additional features like specialized home theater seating and even other home theater furniture, such as small tables in order to make your home theater package complete and thereby make it more closely resemble a real movie theater. Having the finest and highest-quality custom home theater system will give you a most sought after set up, one that you can be proud of and that will enable you to enjoy your movies to the max.

Wireless Speakers For Home Theaters

Owen Jones | May 26, 2010

Wireless speakers are not the height of technology that they were not so long ago, but they are still pretty new. The good news is though that the price of good quality wireless speakers has come down to an affordable level for most people. However, the constant march of technology continues and it is almost impossible to be on the forefront of it for more than six months before something new comes out.

So, I have come to a deliberate decision not to be on the forefront of technology any more. Twelve months behind is good enough for me these days. It can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars to make that decision. I am sure that you are already aware how much items like computers, in particular laptops, and plasma TV screens have come down in recent times.

So, now is the time to get into wireless speakers. They are a good idea in any situation, because you can move speakers around without needing extension leads, but they are particularly practical in a home theater because people will not be able to trip over the wires in the dark.

Wireless speakers have come down in price because there are more manufacturers making them, which is the normal reason why this happens. Many of the newer manufacturers are in the Far East, which is also nothing new, but the quality is just as good. They are just less expensive.

Wireless speakers are one of the first up-grades you should think about if your system is a couple of years old. Wireless speakers allow so much more freedom to move your speakers around to get the best sound out of your home theater set-up.

One tip if you want to try to save a bit on your acquisition of wireless speakers is to buy online. But, do not rush into it. First of all do the round of the shopping malls and find out which wireless speaker systems you like. Take a note of three brands or models. Then go online and check the prices for these models.

You should note down the models, the online prices and the URL of the store where you saw them online. Then, go back to the stores where you first saw those models and ask if they are willing to equal, or better, the price. If they are willing to price match, all well and good. You have won because, if there is a problem you can return them locally. If they will not, you must judge the value of a local purchase to you.

You can easily end up with a top quality home theater system with wireless speakers by going about buying your up-grades in this way. You really ought to go the way of wireless speakers and if you do not believe me, just walk around the shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, you will soon be persuaded.

Home Theater Set-Up And Top Speakers

Owen Jones | May 25, 2010

Home theaters are very popular in the West now for many reasons, but partly due to the recession. However, I forecast that after the downturn is over, home theaters will take off like a rocket. In my opinion, this is because, the recession has forced people to scrutinize their spending, which usually means cutting back. Going out, eating out and movies are all in the front line of these cuts. However, the recession is upsetting and people have to get some pleasure from somewhere.

In the medium to long term, it is cheaper to build a home theater for a family than take them to a proper movie theater every week. Taking a family of four to the movies costs $50-$100, whereas a decent home theater might cost $1,000. It does not take long to recoup those costs. And it saves you the hassle of travelling there and back, the din and mobile phones during the film and high prices for candy and snacks.

OK, maybe people at the moment are buying cheap packages of home theaters, but one of the first things they will replace when they get a bit of money again will be the speakers, I bet. Evidently, you need a good quality, large screen, but after that, it is the sound and the bulwark to good sound is usually poor speakers.

The most important factor in the design of your home theater is the dimensions of your room. If the room is small, you will not have need of so many speakers. Perhaps three speakers will be sufficient, if the room is small. However, if you only need three speakers and a sub-woofer, get good ones.

If you have a bigger room however, the basic three home theater speakers may not be enough. You may need to put up to six speakers and a sub-woofer around the room. The position of these speakers is up to you and can depend on the shape or and size of the room anyway, but typical layouts are:

3.1 system: one speaker to the left of the screen, one to the right and one underneath it. You can put the sub-woofer on top of the central speaker or at the back of the room. Try it and see.

5.1 system: as 3.1, but with two speakers at the back of the room too.

6.1 system: as 5.1, but with another speaker between the rear speakers, as in the front.

7.1 system: as 6.1, but with two speakers central rear, slightly away from each other. You can move the existing rear speakers a little to the sides too.

This set-up requires a lot of wires as you can envisage. Now, you could staple the wires to the skirting board, but you should only do that after you are dead sure that you have the speakers in the right positions. Or you could hang the speakers on the walls. However, although that sounds good for music, it does not always sound all right for a movie.

The best choice is wireless speakers. Wireless speakers can be moved around to suit the number of people watching the film or moved out for cleaning or redecorating purposes. You do not want to bash your nice, new, expensive speakers with the vacuum cleaner, do you?

Home Cinema Luxury Seating

Owen Jones | May 23, 2010

Many people like to relax after a hard day at work by going to the movie theater. However, if you go straight from work, you are likely to get trapped in a traffic jam and you will not have had the chance to freshen up. On the other hand, if you go home first to have a shower and get changed, sometimes you can not be bothered to go out again. That is how it works with me in any case.

So, would it not be lovely to be able to reproduce that authentic movie going experience in your own home? Not only can getting to the cinema be a nuisance, you can be hassled once you get there too. People talking through the film or giggling right behind you, someone with his feet up on the back of the seat next to you, cell phones ringing, babies crying… It is enough to put you off. And it is not even as if it is a cheap event anymore.

If you fall into this group, home theater was made for you. It is not essential to have a spare room in which to set up your home theater, you could just as easily use the living room. The size of the screen is critical, but that is a function of the size of your room or, more accurately put, a function of how far away from the screen you will sit.

If you need a very large screen, you could go for a projector, although for most people a 36 – 60 inch screen should be adequate. Then speakers. You must have surround sound or you will miss out on a lot of the authenticity of a true movie theater experience. Again, the number of speakers depends on the size of the room. A 5.1 configuration will do for most rooms. That means quadraphonic sound, plus one extra speaker under the screen and a sub-woofer.

If you like to play games, then you could substitute the standard DVD player with an Xbox for a truly awesome experience. Those are the basics of a medium to excellent home theater with possible games functionality, but there are other things you can do as well.

A set of heavy curtains is a good idea. They will not only stop light coming in, but the will muffle sound getting out Seating is a necessity and I would add a few occasional tables too for drinks and snacks. If the room is not near the kitchen, a small fridge would be handy as well.

The seating provisions are important too. Some people just put a few sofas in the room and that works well enough. Others prefer a few armchairs. If it is to be used mainly by children, half a dozen bean bags is all they require to have fun. However, if you or you and your spouse want to make the experience really something else, why not get a couple of recliners or even better still electric massage chairs? You could be sitting there enjoying a film with a drink and some snacks on a near-by table while having all your problems and stress from work being gently massaged away.
