All In One

We like having work done for us. This is one of the reasons the all-in-one home theater systems, often referred to as home theaters in boxes are so popular. They reduce effort and confusion by bundling together the basics needed for a home theater system. In its most basic sense, a home theater involves a television, receiver/amplifier, speakers and a means of playing recorded media.

Those with larger budgets and more lofty goals may also set aside a full room of a home for the home theater, including special lighting, highly comfortable seating and other extras. However, before one can run, they are usually required to learn to walk. Those who are only now taking their first home theater steps may want to consider an all-in-one home theater package. These boxed systems involve a set of speakers, a receiver capable of pushing surround sound and a DVD player.

They generally do not include a television or monitory. One can use their own television or buy one separately. A twenty-seven inch television is usually considered a reasonable size for home theater beginners.The all-in-one home theater systems are designed with non-experts in mind.

They assemble and install very easily and anyone capable of interpreting a simply installation manual can have their system up and running in a hurry.They are also a convenient item. There is no need to shop about for separate pieces or to worry about getting all the requisite cabling or connectors. Everything is included in the one box in which everything comes.

Design of Home Theater

Today, home theater implies a real "cinema experience" and therefore a higher quality set of components than the average television provides. A typical home theater would include the following:

• A large, high-quality, display - generally a big-screen television; LCD TV, plasma TV, traditional CRT TV, or a rear-projection TV or possibly a video projector, often HDTV-capable.
• One or more audio/video sources. High quality formats such as DVD or laserdisc are preferred, though old home cinema setups use a stereo VHS VCR. Cable, or C band are also common, as are hard disk based systems.
• An audio system that is capable of surround sound. This usually consists of at least 4 full range speakers with subwoofer for low-frequency effects. Sometimes a specialized decoder is used to allow the playback of newer surround-sound formats.
• Comfortable seating and organization to improve the cinema feel. This might include several comfortable recliners and curtains or subdued room lighting (required for video projectors) to enhance the experience.
• Higher end home theaters commonly also have sound insulation to prevent noise to escape the room, and a specialized coating to ensure correct absorption of the sound in the room.

Home Theater ; General Info

Home theater, also called home cinema, seeks to reproduce cinema quality video and audio in the home. The video aspect usually involves a large-screen and/or high definition television or a projection system with movie screen to project the image on. Quality audio reproduction is usually achieved with a high fidelity surround sound system.

Technically, a home theater could be as basic as a simple arrangement of a TV, DVD, and a set of speakers. It is therefore difficult to specify exactly what distinguishes a "home theater" from a "television and stereo". Most people in the consumer electronics industry would agree that a "home theater" is really the integration of a relatively high-quality video source with multi channel electronics and speakers.

Even if households have the system set up for home theater it is common only to use the speakers integrated within the television rather than to play the sound through the surround sound system. This is because surround sound loses its impact with material which is not recorded in a way suitable for surround sound. Films, drama and sport tend to be optimised for surround sound whereas news and daytime TV provide no particular advantage.

Some home theater enthusiasts go so far as to build a dedicated room in the home for the theater. Such a room is often decorated to resemble an actual cinema, with projection enclosed in a projection booth, specialized furniture, a piano or theater organ, curtains in front of the projection screen or movie posters. These more advanced installations often include sophisticated acoustic design elements, including "room-in-a-room" construction that isolates sound and provides the potential for a nearly ideal listening environment. These installations are often designated as "screening rooms" to differentiate from simpler installations.

Home Theater ; How & What?

Like you, I wanted answers to many questions about home theater system, like:

• What's the best component in a home theater system?
• Can I mix and match home theater components without compromising sound quality and picture brilliance?
• What is the best and most efficient home theater projector?
• How does a home theater projector compare with a receiver on picture quality?
• How to design my home theater room for the best movie sound experience?
• How to get the best audio for my home theater system?
• Where can I find affordable home theater seating and furniture
• What home theater speakers are best?
• How many surround speakers do I need?
• How Many sub woofers works best?
• How to position speakers for the best surround sound experience?
• How do I hook up my home theater system?

These are just some of the questions many people are asking on the topic of home theater.

Home Theater ; Whats more?

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.
