There are various rooms in the home which many state to be their favorite one. One such room is often the home theater. For an increasing number of households, a home theater has become an affordable way to entertain the family as well as friends.
Typically, a home theater needs a good amount of space to be effective. Although a large screen television is almost always part of the equation, smaller, quality units are equally acceptable. Here are a few tips to help you create the perfect home theater system for your home.

1 Locate a place in the home that has plenty of space. Common areas for home theaters are basements, living rooms or even spare bedrooms. Larger spaces require larger surround sound systems and larger television screens.
2 Take an afternoon and drive to as many electronic retailers as time warrants. Inspect, watch and listen to any surround sound system that seems appropriate. Pay particular attention to the visual aspect of the home theater equation.
3 Watch each television at eye level if possible. Many retailers have a wall of televisions all tuned to the same program, and all of them have been tweaked to the brightest and highest contrast levels. Take each for a test drive and make an informed decision.
4 Consider high definition equipment. This standard will be popular for decades to come and offers unparalleled image and sound quality. Look for solid HDMI connections and true high definition content. Many systems only offer to “up convert” standard or enhanced definition content to high definition.
5 Position the new equipment in an optimal visual and audio location. Watch for window glare on the television screen and keep the screen low for best viewing. Move speakers to the best possible locations in the room to achieve a great surround sound effect.
In designing a home theater room, there’s more to consider than just the room size, shape, and types of electronics. You can also add something that will reflect your personal style such as chairs or some of your favorite movies’ memorabilia.
