Assembling A Home Theater
You can easily create a home theater in your home. When you decide to build a home theater, you will have to consider the size of your audience because this factor will influence the television screen size and the size of home theater room. The basic requirements for a home theater are the wide screen television, receiver and seating.
Proper Distance Between The TV And The Audience
A home theater seating must be placed far away enough from the screen so that audience members are not distracted by the pixels or lines in the image and close enough to maximize the effect that the movie presentation has for engrossing its audience. At the right distance, the audience cannot help but be drawn into the film. A high quality image is necessary to bring about this effect.
The television must be at least 42" wide to be considered wide enough for a home theater. The best distance from a television screen for an audience to become captivated by the movie is between 1.5 and 5 times the width of the television screen. Just as in a movie theater, you can see people choosing their favored distance from the movie screen, so it is that your personal preferences will come into play when it is time for you to choose the distance between your audience and the television screen. If you intend on having a large audience, you can create rows of seats.
Wide-Screen Television
The home theater television can be a style that resembles a regular television experience or you can choose a front projection television that uses a projector device that is separate from the television. A front projection television uses a projector that is either a tabletop model or a mounted ceiling projector. Either way, the audience views a picture that is projected from behind the audience, which recreates a movie theater atmosphere.
The Receiver
The home theater receiver can receive input from a VCR, DVD player or satellite signal. The home theater receiver then sends audio signals out to the speaker system, which is set up to create surround-sound and sends visual signals to the television screen.
You can add extra movie theater styling with the addition of bolted chairs, carpeting on the floor and curtains on the wall in your home theater. Low lighting, with dimmer controls, will add to the movie theater ambience. Your home theater will provide you with many hours of fine entertainment when you have planned it right.
