Visualizing Your Home Theater
Visualizing Your Home Theater By Parvati Markus
What do the words home theater mean to you? A big screen TV in
your living room with surround sound speakers hidden behind the
couch, or a custom designed room with every possible high-end
audio/video equipment and dedicated theater seating? The choice
comes down to your level of use . . . and your pocketbook.
Start with the room you plan to use as your home theater. If
it's your multi-purpose living room, think about mounting a
flat-panel LCD HDTV on the wall and finding one of the many
artistic solutions for hiding the screen when it's not in use.
Make sure the furniture that houses your audio/video components
has a cable management system to hide power cords and sufficient
ventilation. Rear wheels on the cabinet make accessing your
connections much easier!
There is a large range of possible entertainment centers: a
plasma console or wall system, an entertainment center with
bookcase or storage, cabinets to hold a large screen display. Be
sure to measure your room accurately to know what will fit best
in the space you have available. If you're redoing a room or
moving to a new place, now is a good time to prewire the room
for audio, video, security and communication needs, including
cabling for future technologies. It makes for an elegant, nearly
invisible installation of equipment, with more leeway in the
type of furniture you choose. Another possibility -- if your
"home theater" room also includes your computer desk, think
about using your PC to store and play your favorite MP3 files,
patched through an amplifier.
There are so many choices -- media stands, audio stands that
hold 5 to 10 AV components, TV stands for any size television
(some loaded with features like wire management systems,
adjustable shelves, open ventilation, tempered glass) -- as well
as choices in styles and finishes, from the beauty of natural
hardwoods to contemporary design elements. With such a broad
variety of audio/video and other furnishings, mounts and
accessories, even the most demanding A/V enthusiast or home
decorator will be satisfied with the way your home theater looks.
Once
you've housed your components, the next most important
choice involves your seating. Do you prefer watching movies in
your home theater from the comfort of a recliner, cuddled with
someone special on a couch, or from dedicated custom theater
seating? Do you prefer seating covered with micro fiber fabric,
microfiber suede, faux leather or premium leather? Does a home
theater conjure up visions of kids with large tubs of buttered
popcorn, beer and chips for the guys watching the big game, or
romantic glasses of wine? Choose an easy-to-clean surface, and
have sturdy tables close at hand to your seating.
As long as you're visualizing your perfect home theater set-up,
remember to connect the lighting and the home theater system to
a master remote control. With a few taps of your finger, the DVD
spins, the lights dim, you sink into your seat, and enter a
galaxy far, far away . . . right from home. Please find the
