Watching movies is a great way to escape from the stressful life we all lead these days. Watching movies on a wide screen with surround sound can transport you away from that stress into the plot of the movie you are watching. You live the plot it as if you were really there in the movie itself.

Until recently, we could only experience this escapism in a cinema. However, modern technology is able to provide the same visual and sound experience right in your own living room. We will discuss the basic components of a home theater system in this article. Read on to understand how these basic components can deliver the best cinematic experience in a custom home theater system.

Home theater enthusiasts say that the most important factor in setting up a custom home theater system is the size of the room where you will set up your custom home theater system. The most important factor in the home theater system - the television - is dependent on the size of the room, although the recommendation is that a 27 inch television set is the minimum necessary for your home theater installation.

It is also recommended that a flat-screen television be used for a home theater system because it shows less glare and creates a crisper image. Another major component in a custom home theater system which is again dependent on the size of the location, is the loudspeaker system.

The number of speakers for your custom home theater system is dependent on the size of the room. You need at least three speakers to create surround sound, but you may place up to six speakers, if you want a more lifelike sound. Adding a subwoofer may also be a good way to achieve a complete surround sound like in the movie theaters. Three speakers is the minimum, although you may need up to six if the room is big.

Another major piece of equipment for your custom home theater system is the DVD player. It is a recommendation that DVD players with a progressive scan are the best choice. This is because progressive scan produces sharp and flicker-free pictures. However, this goes back to the choice of television unit, you will need to check if the flat-screen television supports progressive scan signals. You may also want to acquire a five-disk carousel DVD player. This will negate you having to get up from your seat to change discs every so often.

A minor consideration is the power of the DVD player as that will determine how loud your speakers can be played. Of course, almost all this depends on the size of the room in which the home theater system is going to be set up. Small rooms require only a few types of equipment, bigger rooms may require more and adding custom home theater furniture to your home theater system will make a big difference. A bigger room therefore requires more investment. A smaller room might require less, but nevertheless good quality equipment to avoid a too basic feel in the home theater system.

And finally, you might want to consider hiring an expert in home theater in order to set up a beautifully designed custom home theater system. If you have te money, this is definitely the best way to go, because a home theater expert will be able to design and set up your custom home theater more effectively .

A custom home theater designer may also suggest installing some additional features like a specialized home theater seating structure and even other home theater furniture, such as small tables for snacks and drinks in order to make your custom home theater system more complete and thereby make it more closely resemble a real movie theater. Having the finest and highest-quality custom home theater system you can afford, will give you a most enviable set up, one that you can really be proud of and one that will enable you to enjoy your movies to the fullest. - 29772
