The Elements of a Successful Home Theater Design

(prHWY.com) November 8, 2012 - New Jersey, AL -- So you've purchased a forty inch widescreen TV, a surround sound speaker system to compliment it, and a DVD player with DTS and Dolby Laboratories compatibility firmware. What you have is basically a home theater system, designed to emulate a movie theater environment, making movie watching at home an experience.

In the realm of major step categories when it comes to home theater designing, you've successfully accomplished step one, which is basically gathering home theater designed equipment, and would now have to face phase two, which is getting to actually set up your acquired devices into your old TV room.

In this phase of home theater designing, certain home theater ideals come in as guidelines, aiding home theater designers in forming their home theater designs.

Setting up Space for Your Home Theater Design

Given that what differentiates a home theater setup from a regular television set is its surround stereo system, assembling your home theater design in an aptly enclosed space would be ideal. Open rooms don't really provide good ideal acoustic conditions for a home theater surround sound system to successfully operate, and you may want to consider some renovation work, if no other available rooms could be used for your home theater design's fruition.

A good ventilation system would also be a good idea since you will be watching your movies in your home theater room. An ideal home theater design, aside from being acoustically complimentary with a surround sound system, Yamaha YHT-595BL should also be comfortable, as the room is made for entertainment purposes.

Some of the best home theater designs involve the use of curtains, as well as carpeted floors, enhancing the overall sound quality and performance of a surround sound system. The installation of a light dimmer also improves the overall movie watching experience in a home theater designed room, as dark, but not too dark ambient lights would lead you to focus on what's going on with your movie, making you involved with your show, and not with anything else.

Understanding your Surround Sound Speaker Setup

Aside from setting the ideal conditions for surround sound speakers to successfully operate, an understanding of the home theater sound system you'll be using would aid in where to position the speakers.

Using your widescreen display as an anchor point, positioning the speakers, with the designated viewing area facing the display, around it is exactly what surround sound speakers are about.

Most home theater designed sound systems come in 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 channel packages. A 5.1 channel surround sound speaker setup is made up of three front speakers, left, center and right, two left and right side speakers, and a subwoofer. 6.1 channel speakers use the same speaker setup a 5.1 channel does, but comes with an extra channel for a rear speaker.
