Home Theater
Almost anybody with some electronic savvy can install a projector and hook up some speakers to a receiver and incorporate a DVD player, satellite and VCR, oh and lets not forget The High Definition receiver.
Right ?
Answer: Maybe, provided things are planned out right, still there are many factors that should be considered like;
Projector choice questions:
What about ambient light?
When are the desired viewing hours?
Distance of the projected image throw?
Does the screen match the native image of the projector?
Is the manufacturer strong in the market?
How long do the bulbs last and how much do they cost?
What is the manufacturer's warranty and how do they handle warranty replacement?
Surround Receiver choice
questions:
All remotes are created equal..... Right?
Are you going to be able to operate your system or is it just to complicated?
Is the receiver the best match for the speakers you are using?
Does the receiver have the right connections to match the video switching I need?
Diminishing returns: Are you really going to use all those extra features?
Reputation of the manufacturer?
What is my room going to sound like to begin with?
Does the shape of the room provide for best surround sound acoustics?
How well is the room I pick Isolated from the rest of the house?
Is that subwoofer going to rattle my dishes?
Am I going to keep up everyone in the house while watching an action flick?
How can speaker placement enhance the performance of the room?
Where function meets form, meets budget.
These are just a few of the questions we ask while your project is in the developmental stage to determine how you will best enjoy your home theater system. We just don't like surprises when your job is complete.... Like the screen coming down in front of the speakers blocking the sound. Or the only input that works on the projector is the DVD because the inputs don't match and now you need to purchase additional equipment. We will guide you through your purchases and advise you toward your budget.
