It wasn’t long ago that no one had ever heard of a home theater system. They knew about televisions, cable and even VCRs, but the idea of big screen televisions and high-fidelity stereo sound systems were foreign to them.
When people thought about movies at home they probably envisioned watching a badly filmed home movie featuring a 1966 vacation being shot onto the living room wall with a whirring old projector. Times have, of course, changed. Home entertainment technology has changed right along with it, too.

Now that we do talk about home theaters, it is worth mentioning what a home theater really is. It’s an effort to duplicate (at least some aspects) the movie experience usually reserved only for cinema attendees. People use home theater systems as a means of going to the movies without really going anywhere.
Movie screen clarity in picture and sound allows us to observe every little detail as we watch the story unfold. We see actors in detail, and are able to watch them practice their craft as if they were only inches away. It’s not just visual, though. Can you imagine a spaghetti western without that theme song? How frightening would King Kong be without his belly-rattling roar? Hmmm...so bored.
