By Benji Logan


2.1, 5.1 and 7.1 are the different type of Home Theater Systems. Usually, the main digit for these systems stands for the number of speakers whereas .1 stands for one subwoofer. Most of you might think while having so many speakers, subwoofer is of no importance. But you must be aware that many speakers cannot deliver the level of bass that is required while listening to melodious music and hence, sub-woofer is of great importance.

Therefore, you must be aware of all the components of a home theater before you buy a home theater system for your house.

Sound Quality

Normally, if you are looking to install your home theater in a large room then you must pick at least 10-inch woofer cone. Instead, if it is a small room than a 5.1 home theater system will do for it which has 5 main speakers and one subwoofer. This includes 2 Surround Speakers, 2 front speakers and one centre-channel speaker where as in case of a 7.1 speaker system there are 2 more rear speakers in addition to the above. Hence, you can choose any of the above home theater systems according to your desire.

Listening to the sound quality practically is a must after selecting the suitable sound system for your home theater. A best sound system would produce the output sound from different speakers for movie dialogue and background music. This change can be experienced by the minute delay that occurs in the output. However, this is difficult to detect but a clear understanding of this will give you an idea about the difference in sound from different speakers. Although, it is not easy to find the delay but still the knowledge of all this would help you to feel the difference in output from different speakers.

Picture Quality

If you are satisfied with the sound quality of the home theater then the most important thing is its video quality. The picture and video quality of a theater is the one which pays off your money for a brand new home theater. The picture display must be of high quality 3D in HD. The connection to the DVD player must be component connection. A component connection has lot of advantages over S-video and composite video. The advantage with this is that it can transmit up to 480p video along with HD video signals using three separate jacks.

In this case, you can consider HDMI connection as the best option. As it uses single cable for audio and video and therefore the frequency ot these signals increases considerably. Therefore having HDMI signal would ensure that the frequency signals are not reduced due to different cables for audio and video and hence, the system less input power and gives maximum output.

Finally, you must select the best players according to your desire. Most of the DVD players gives an output of 480i or 480p (scan lines of progressive scan). This is good for a normal TV but nowadays most users have high definition TV like LCD or Plasma. Hence, in that case it is good to adapt HD quality player of 1080p One of the best players oh such high quality is Blu-ray disc Player.

Therefore, before you buy a home theater system, ensure that the system comprises all the above components and make sure that it has the capacity to withstand and deliver the goods. Along with these small other like USB must also be remembered. The usage becomes lot easy if the player has ports for USB and memory so that you can play your files directly from your desktop or iPod. At last you must ask the vendor to five you one month exchange warranty in case you want to exchange the Home Theater System.
