If what you’re looking for is a way to capture the experience of a theater viewing without actually leaving the comforts of your own home, you’re looking for a home theater setup.
Getting that cinematic experience to work just right is a matter of preference, room size, aesthetics and an assortment of other factors – but that doesn’t change what ultimately goes into building and completing your very own home theater setup, or commissioning one from a quality company like the Home Theater Group.
First and foremost, you need to know what goes into a home theater.
The Display
This is what you’ll be focusing on most of the time – and as such, it’s incredibly important. It may also be the biggest investment in the system, as you want a high-quality and long-lasting display with serious image quality control.
The Sound
Speaker configurations come in dozens of different flavors, from economical choices to full-blown 3D surround sound, with several subwoofers being an option for better audio quality, as per Home Theater Review.
The Control
This is the brains of your home theater operation, and requires careful calibration to make sure everything is hooked up just right.
The Source
This can be a gaming console such as a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One, or a BluRay player. It connects to the controlling component, together with the other systems, and plays your entertainment of choice.
The Remote
Again, this is where a professional needs to come into play to ensure everything is programmed just right. Remotes can either come with a system, or need to be bought and configured separately. As per WSJ, the universal remote exists – you just have to choose the right one, be it your very own smartphone or a dedicated piece of tech from Logitech.
The Rest
If you really want the best of the best in home theater installations, professional installers will be able to gauge the acoustics of your viewing room and improve them with various installations such as bass traps, absorbers and more, while your lighting can be calibrated to make sure your display is picture-perfect in every way.
