For movie and
television program lovers, the central focus of their home theater surround sound system
will definitely be their big screen TV or home theater
projector. It's incredibly exciting to watch your favorite
DVD movies and high definition TV sporting events come to life
on a huge screen in your own home theater. But home theater
surround sound systems are for both video and audio.
Chances are that you'll also be listening to some music through
your surround sound system. Some of the most popular music
sources you can listen to today include CD, MP3, AM/FM radio,
digital XM or Sirius satellite radio, and even streaming
internet radio stations.
High end audiophiles and audio
enthusiasts are also enjoying the higher performance of DVD-Audio
and SACD, as well as their older analog sources such as vinyl,
cassette, 8-track tape, reel to reel, etc.
To ensure that any of your NON surround sound music
sources can still be heard through your entire surround sound
speaker system -- not just the left and right front speakers -- choose a
surround sound receiver that has lots of extra digital
surround modes for music, such as Theater, Club, Hall, Stadium,
etc. |
Typical Home Theater Components
Assuming you've got
a medium to larger size room in which to set up and install a
home theater surround sound system, the first thing you need to think through is surround sound speaker placement.
If you also want to run speakers to
OTHER rooms of your home or outside, consider adding a separate whole house audio system. |
