Home Theater Package - Bring the Full Experience Home

!: Home Theater Package - Bring the Full Experience Home

When it comes to the home theater package, there are a lot of opinions. Some purists insist that these packages are strictly referring to sound system components. Yet others insist that the reference applies to all aspects that give you a theater-like experience at your own house. Let's explore the various options and then you can decide for yourself!

For those people focused on sound alone, there are systems ranging from tens of dollars all the way to thousands of dollars. The choices are endless. The basic home theater package starts with a 5.1 channel speaker and subwoofer set. With this set you are likely to receive a product that produces decent digital sound with a thumping bass, a central speaker, 2 surround speakers and 2 front speakers. Now, on the other end of the spectrum of speaker systems; we have a high end set that includes two 12 "350 watt subwoofers (the bass ought to bring the house down with those bad boys), a center speaker, surround sound speakers, 2 pole 4 front speakers and acoustic controls to optimize performance. Sounds like everything you could possibly need, right?

Wait just a minute! Where is the rest of the home theater package? What do I mean by ' the rest ', you ask? Well, as some would have it, the set-up is not complete without the sofa and it's built-in cup holders, 108 "LCD screen HDTV (or maybe even a high quality projector and motorized projector screen), iPod docking station, multi-function equalizer, Blu-Ray player, amplifier and game system.

Or maybe you are more of a middle of the road type. No extremes foryou. A nice 5 speaker digital sound system, a decent television and a DVD player will satisfy your needs. What is your vision of the perfect setup?

The best way to decide what your needs are when it comes to choosing a system, is to look at what you typically enjoy for entertainment. Are you a fan of music and hardly ever have your mp3 more than an arm's length away? Or would you rather kick back and watch a movie? Look to what you enjoy to point you in the right direction for purchasing your home theater package.

After you've picked out the specific elements you want, you can go online or to a local electronics store to find what you are looking for. Retailers will be happy to help you select the right system for your needs. Before you whip out the plastic though, considerhaving the retailer install your system if they offer that service. If you have never tried to hook up complex setup like this before, know that it can become confusing quite quickly. There are many wires and ports. You could have just one wire in the wrong place and then spend hours trying to figure what is hooked up wrong. For a few extra dollars, someone else can come and get the job done for you in little to no time.

Whatever you choose, make the decision based on your favorite hobbies and you're sure to have the home theater package that suits you best. That's what makes it perfect.

Theater vs DVD - Go Out Or Stay Home?

!: Theater vs DVD - Go Out Or Stay Home?

Watching a movie is a great way to escape reality for a few hours. Whether it is a drama that requires your full attention or a comedy that has you laughing the entire time, movies have been and will continue to be a great hobby/time waster/escape for almost anyone. While watching movies in a theater has its advantages spending time at home watching DVDs is overall the better experience.

The movie theater does have one huge advantage over home viewing, the gigantic projection screen and the amazing surround sound speakers. However that is generally where the advantages of the theater end. Purchasing a big HD television is becoming a much less expensive endeavor than it used to be and surround sound these days is pretty cheap as well. Even without these luxury items however the movie viewing experience at home more than makes up for its lack of technical superiority with other much more pleasant advantages.

First and foremost is the lack of strange moviegoers. Everyone has sat in front of someone who kicks the seat or sat next to the teenager on their cell phone. At home this is not an issue. If someone in the house is being loud feel free to yell at them to quiet them down. Most likely however that would not be an issue unless you live with total strangers however.

Another great advantage of the home theater is the power of control. Bathroom and snack breaks are not an issue when you can simply pause the movie and resume watching when you get back. Also if you want to see that amazing car chase scene again then feel free to simply hit the back button on your remote and watch it again!

An issue that has popped up semi-recently with movie theaters is the cost now associated with them. A movie ticket at my local theater costs . Now add another one for my girlfriend plus a few boxes of candy and drinks and all of a sudden I have spent nearly for two hours of entertainment. Now admittedly buying a DVD would cost about but renting one would cost about the same price as that box of Junior Mints in the theater.

Movie theaters also have a strict no talking policy. This is a necessity of course to watch a movie in the theater and when spending the above amount of money it is clear that this policy is a good one. However some of the best movie watching experiences that I have had involved a group of friends watching a comedy (something like Wedding Crashers or Superbad) and just having a great time that involved a lot of talking and quoting of movie lines. Obviously in a theater this would be frowned upon.

So despite the lack of a giant projection screen and surround sound speakers watching a DVD at home is a much more favorable experience than going to the theater. Of course there are some movies that almost require you (or at least require me) to see them the day they are released, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for example, but there are plenty of movies that are not worth the cost or patience it would take to see them in the theater.

Subwoofer Placement Guide - Home Theater Speakers - Down and Dirty Quick Tips

!: Subwoofer Placement Guide - Home Theater Speakers - Down and Dirty Quick Tips

Step 1. If you've just arrived home from work, and you're wearing your new 00 suit, you'll want to change into something more comfortable. i.e. jeans and a t-shirt.

Step 2. Find your favorite listening position. If this is on a couch, and you would also like your couch partner to enjoy your subwoofer as best as possible, sit just between those two listening positions.

Step 3. Gather some sturdy stuffed pillows and or folded blankets for stability. More on that in a minute. (why not just an end table or box?) see appendix A below...

Step 4. If you happen to have an extra long subwoofer cable or rca that will work, get it and plug it into your subwoofer. Your subwoofer will need to be able to play while positioned in your listening seat at ear level. You wouldn't sit backwards in your listening position, so be sure your subwoofer is firing towards your tv or receiver area. Be sure to also plug in your subwoofer to your wall outlet.

Step 5. Stack up the pillows/blankets etc, in a stable fashion. One can be placed behind where your head would be in your listening position to help stabilize your subwoofer from hitting the wall behind it if your couch backs up to a wall. If not, use your best judgment on what is stable, just remember NO hard objects...

Step 6. Put your subwoofer on top of the pillows/blankets at approx. ear height from your normal seated position.

Step 7. Play some bass heavy (although dynamic with low and middle bass) music or your favorite sequence of a movie that you would really like to have shine when being played during a normal listening/watching session.

Step 8. Get on your knees and crawl around your room, literally. Be careful not to trip over any speaker wire, HDMI Cables, or RCA Cables in the process. Go over to where your subwoofer was originally positioned and move towards and away from the wall while listening. Move toward the outer wall or toward the center of the room. Keep in mind all the while that you are searching to hear where the low frequency output is smooth, but still extended, and not a single one-note boom, but remember s-m-o-o-t-h is what you're listening for. One that sounds natural, and extended to the lowest of low's and highest of mid-bass.

Step 9. The position where you are searching may be on your side wall, front wall, to the side of your listening position, or even way in the back/side/front of your room. Just keep in mind that where ever your head is, is where you subwoofer will ultimately be placed. If the position is not suitable to place a subwoofer for whatever reason you will have to find the next best compromise. Leave something on the floor as a marker to remember all of these places and quickly walk over, crouch down, and give each place a listen during your best sounding experiences and pick a spot that is suitable for aesthetics etc.

Step 10. Plunk down your subwoofer where you found your best spot during a variety of listening materials and you're all set. Return back to your listening position and enjoy your new smooth sounding subwoofer that neither has room boom, or any empty spots in audio playback!

appendix A: Using a hard object such as an end table etc may be easier to place your subwoofer at ear level in your listening position, but it will not be the best way. Think about this; we are simply reversing the sound travel of your subwoofer to go from point B to A. This sound bounces and reflects off of several objects between those two points, one being your body itself during normal listening sessions. If you use a hard object to place your subwoofer in your listening position, you are introducing something that will not be there when you actually place your subwoofer in it's final position. Your body isn't hard and reflective, therefore the objects that you place under your subwoofer to elevate it to ear level shouldn't be reflective either, hence the pillows/blankets. On a side note, we will not be responsible for anyone dropping their favorite shiny brand new subwoofer on their floor/foot/cat etc...so build your listening position elevation rationally and as stable as possible!

Home Theater Speakers - Design and Style

!: Home Theater Speakers - Design and Style

With over 500 models of home theater speakers available through a generous number of high and low-end brands, many consumers rely on salesperson to lead them in the right direction. Consumers with only a limited budget will undoubtedly flock to the cheapest option available to suit there needs. This however, nearly always results in a less than ideal sound system that fails to meet the expectations or needs of the owner. It is therefore a good idea to educate one's self on the best brands, speaker styles and specifications that will fit a home's needs before making a choice.

A home theater speaker system is typically made up of a front speaker, left and right speaker, a center-channel speaker, a pair of surrounds, and a subwoofer. A home owner may mix-and-match components but help from a professional is advised to make sure the speakers are all compatible. These speaker types come in varying sizes, sound output and design. The following are the types of styles in which these speakers may be found:

Floor-Standing speakers are the largest home theater speakers available. They can be shifted around the theater area or be moved to another home.

Bookshelf or Cabinet speakers stand independently, just like floor standing speakers, but are smaller and can be placed on or in entertainment centers or shelving to save space.

In-Wall speakers require no floor space, and can disappear if matching the walls. Their quality is usually very good, but they need professional installation and wiring.

On-Wall speakers are recommended for use with a flat-panel television. They provide exceptional sound as well as a pleasing aesthetic component.

Home theater owners or designers must determine the listening requirements and preferences for a specific room in order to create a quality home theater space. Room size and layout are important factors as this will dictate the speaker configuration. Logistics like electrical outlet placement, room size, and usable room space strongly affect the type of equipment that can and should be put in the room.

Home theater speakers are available in many sizes. However not all sizes are meant for all rooms. Large speakers are not advantageous for small rooms because they will need to be played at a much lower volume. This may cause distortion to the audio. Lower quality small speakers used in large spaces may produce a tinny or thin sound if they are unable to produce enough sound at a decent output level. Speakers of similar size may differ greatly in their sound output or reproduce different levels of sound unequally so it is very important to listen to various speaker brands and sizes and compare them before buying.

Speakers are available in a variety of encasement types - natural or laminated wood, metal, and occasionally plastic, but often preferences may be limited by brand or model. Speakers are as varied as tennis shoes so make sure you try on several and know how they fit into your home theater before making a purchase.

Home Theater Design: Optimum Speaker Placement

The accepted theater arrangement is of policy a screen at one end of the room, with one central Speaker, one Speaker to each side of the screen, two Speakers providing surround left and right, and sometimes a Speaker providing surround rear. If you have your room arranged this way, chances are good that you call it your home theater, and speaker placement is fairly simple for you. The ideal placement has the front speakers at the same height from the ground, normally whether slightly above or slightly below the display, and the surround speakers at least 60cm above the heads of the viewers.

The front center speaker should ideally be in the same position as the screen; the front left and right speakers should be placed roughly 25 degrees to the left and right of the direction the viewers face, and about the same distance from the viewers; the surround left and surround right speakers should be 90 degrees to the left and right of this direction, and, again, about the same distance from the viewers; and the surround rear, as its name suggests, should be directly behind the viewers. A subwoofer if used can theoretically be placed in any place in the room.

Home Theater Speakers

For many people, and I include myself in this, the found of your home is such that it does not comfortably permit a room set up in this way. After all, unless you are very lucky, the chances are that the room that contains your home theater equipment doubles as your living room, and you will not want it to be dominated by a screen. You may not wish to call it your home theater as such. To solve this problem, you need to draw a scale diagram of your room. Add your intended screen placement to the drawing, along with the seating arrangements (your sofas and chairs), and recognize where population will be sitting when they watch movies, and the direction in which they will be looking.

Home Theater Design: Optimum Speaker Placement

The next thing you need to do is to draw a line from each viewer directly to the screen, which shows the direction in which each viewer faces. Then draw a line angled 25 degrees to the left of the line you have just drawn from the viewer, for each viewer, until it meets the wall. If the speaker is placed in any place along that line, then it will be at the correct angle for the accepted viewer. You need to recognize a point along the wall fairly close to the position at which these lines reach the wall. This will normally be somewhere near the middle of the collection of lines. You have then identified the optimum home theater placement for your front left speaker.

You now need to do the same thing, but angle the lines 25 degrees to the right of the direction in which the viewers face. With these lines you can recognize the optimum home theater placement for the front right speaker.

Repeat for lines angled 90 degrees to the left, 90 degrees to the right, and 180 degrees (a continuation of the line from viewer to screen, but in reverse). With these lines, you can recognize the optimum home theater placement for the surround left speaker, the surround right speaker, and the surround rear speaker.

Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be placed at the same distance from each viewer, as should the surround left and right speakers. This will normally not be potential to achieve, so it should be approximated. Far more leading are the speaker placement angles for each viewer, which should ideally not be more than about 15 degrees away from the optimum position. Optimum home theater speaker placement depends on minimizing the angle error for each viewer.

Your subwoofer could be placed theoretically at any point in the room, because the ear cannot genuinely determine the direction of low-frequency sounds. However, you may find that positioning the subwoofer at different parts of the room turn the sounds from the subwoofer; some frequencies may be amplified, while others may be reduced, especially if the subwoofer is placed near a wall or angle of the room. It is recommend that you experiment with the placement of your subwoofer until you find a position that you like.

Some other considerations may influence the position in which you place the speakers. You will not want your speakers in a position where they obstruct a path that is normally walked through, e.g. Too close to a doorway. Also, if you do not have magnetically-shielded front speakers, they should not be placed too close to a cathode ray tube (old-style) Tv, because they will cause the color Syn. Clearness of the display to be affected. This does not apply to Lcd or plasma televisions. Using this approach, you can successfully place your speakers in such a way that you can be proud of your home theater and of your living room at the same time!

Always remember that the idea behind home theater is to set your ideas up so that you can enjoy movies to the fullest. Some population lose sight of this goal. Whatever you do with your home theater design, don't fall into the trap of over-analyzing your results. Start enjoying those movies!

The town channel speaker is a very foremost component of home theater speaker systems. It reproduces more than half of the soundtrack as well as approximately the whole movie dialogue. The ideal placement of the town channel speaker is right below or above the screen. The size should correspond with the size of the television and the rest of the speakers.
