Setting Up a Basic Home Theater - What Do You Need
You may be hearing your friends and relatives talking about their new home theater and wondering what all the hul-a-ba-loo is about.
Increasingly it seems people are getting harder and harder to impress with new technology and the home theater is just one of those new fangled ways to entertain yourself at home.
Setting up and using a home theater at your home could be a very doable project with the right information and a small budget, but what do you need? Here are the absolute basics for a home theater.
You need three major elements to make a basic home theater.
Large Screen Display Notice we didn't say TV.
You need a display screen that can handle different forms of input.
Like video input from computers, DVD's, game consoles and cable transmissions.
Preferably as large as you can afford and with as many bells and whistles as you can get.
Digital Video Source This includes DVD players, satellite or cable boxes in high def and gaming consoles like xbox 360 and PS2.
What good is a large screen display without the right video feeds? Killer Sound System What use is a great video display if you can't listen to it like you are actually at the theater.
These sound systems would include surround sound with as many speakers as needed to enjoy the full treatment.
Proper placement and choice of speakers is a must.
After you get all these elements installed, simply crank up the popcorn machine and enjoy (oh, did we forget to mention the popcorn machine?)
