It doesn’t take a million bucks of expensive equipment to turn one room in your home into a theater room. If you have the funds, then go nuts if you wish – you can even install theater-style seats to make guests feel like they’re in a movie house. You can even have curtains that’ll open on command with the push of a button, but you don’t have to hire a professional to build a home theater for your house.
The expertise needed to set up a DVD home theater isn’t as much as you may think – you don’t need to be that techno-savvy to get started. All it takes is some basic common sense, or some familiarity with how these entertainment systems work, so you can make the most informed decisions when buying the equipment or if you wish to make an upgrade.
What to you get with a home theater? It’s simple – you can make your old TV and DVD player look like they came from Jurassic Park with the high-quality viewing you could get otherwise. It’s been said that having a DVD home theater gives the theater experience. That’s not all you can get out of it. You can get those quality pictures and surround sound any time you wish. When most theaters are closed, you can pop in a DVD in your player and watch a movie at three in the morning while getting the full theater experience.
In a theater, when a movie plays, there is usually more than one amplifier unit set up around the screen. In fact, there’s one on each side of the screen and one in the middle.
That “surround sound” experience comes courtesy of satellite speakers, so you can have the entire theater room bathed in sound while viewing the movie. After which, the audio output would be split into different channels so you can get the best sound possible.
Looking at a movie theater screen, you’ll notice that the height of the screen is actually shorter than the length unlike traditional television sets. Three things, really – and we have just touched based on them, namely the picture quality, surround sound and appearance of the screen, all important when shopping for home DVD system equipment.
As for the DVD player itself, you should be able to broadcast from five channels for optimal results. A sub woofer can be added to make the viewing sound more robust. If all you have is a medium sized television set, you’re not going to get the kind of viewing you want and you really need to get a big screen.
Remember what you put into creating your home theater system is what you’ll get out of it. If you scrimp in any area, you might save a few bucks but in the end, you’ll be the one short changed. And you wouldn’t want to scrimp if you are to buy a theater system that could last you and your family a lifetime.
