A home theater is a home-based entertainment setup designed to offer a parallel or even better cinematic experience as that of the common commercial movie theater. The idea is to re-create the commercial cinema feel at the comfort of your home. This can be partially achieved with simple set-ups or perfectly and competitively achieved with complex set-ups. The main reason we all go to the movies is not that we fancy crowds, but the powerful, otherworldly video and immersive audio performances. This can be reproduced anywhere: your living room, bedroom, basement, etc. Discussed below are four things to consider in setting up home theater systems:
-
Video set-up
This is probably the first thing you will think about while assembling your system. Whether you are the conventional projectors or prefer the modern era flat screen TV, companies are offering to compete and provide the very best in both these options for home theater system. Projector and screen offer much larger image viewing than flat screen TV but nothing else. Companies are now highly advanced in tv technology with as large as 72-inch screens for a more important image and high quality viewing with LED technology.
-
Sound system
Another thing that is a must to set-up a theater in your home that competes with the movies is sound. And not just any sound, quality sound that overwhelms from all angles. The surrounding sound receiver is more preferable in enhancing the performance of the system.

Home theater source components
So what you need is a sort of player, could be any DVD player. But a blue-ray player should be much better in providing high-quality image resolution. If you are using an ultra HD Tv, the ultra HD Blu-ray player with its compatible ultra HD Blu-ray Disc should provide you the best 4K picture experience. Also apart from the DVD players, it is becoming the norm nowadays that these players are not of much use with the upsurge if streaming services. All you need is a good internet connection. Smart TVs have USB ports that can be used to connect to external drives providing content in soft copy or digital form.

The theater room
This may sound insignificant, but it isn’t. The appliances set-up is one thing, but room set-up completes the overall theater feel. You have to make sure the lighting is just right; the seating offers the necessary comfort while maximizing on video and audio experience.
