Thinking about installing a home theater system? You’re not alone. Home theater is

one of the fastest growing areas areas in home entertainment and the advent of

DVD recorders and HDTV means

your set-up can now be entirely digital, without an inch of video tape in site.

Installing a home theater is a big decision and requires careful planning. Luckily

there are a number of resources around to help you and you needn’t be a technical

expert or a hi-fi buff to get the job done.

One of the first decisions you’ll need to make before you set about installing a

home theater is whether your going to dedicate a whole room to the theater or

whether it will share a space with a lounge, dining room, or office. Having a

dedicated room allows you to position seating and speakers in the optimum

position and you can seriously consider a projector and screen without it looking as

out of place as it might in your living room.

Obviously budget is another consideration and this will dictate which equipment you

buy initially and what you save for another day. As a bare minimum you’ll want a

DVD player, widescreen television, and a surround sound audio amplifier and

speakers. We’d recommend opting for a DVD recorder like this one from Phillips, or

this from Panasonic. They’re obviously more expensive than a DVD player, but will

give you much greater flexibility. And don’t forget to budget for cabling, its a very

important part of installing a home theatre and one that’s often overlooked.

You’ll also want to think about the interior design of a dedicated home theater room

and of course the seating is all important. You’re going to spend hours and hours

watching movies and the last thing you need is uncomfortable seats.
