Creating Your Own Entertainment Room At Home

By Roger Ebertiatian


Setting up a home theater system will let you experience the cinemas right in your own home. In the following paragraphs are the steps to create your own home theater.

Ascertain the size of your entertainment room

This is extremely vital if you wish to use a projection system. Projectors are dissimilar in terms of throw ranges so you have to compare more than one model. For projectors without a zoom lens, the dimensions of the projected image is determined by throw distance. For projectors that feature zoom lens, the image size can be controlled without adjusting the throw distance, or the image can be kept fixed even if the throw distance is changed.



Pick a great layout

Don't place a projector in close proximity to the doorway so that your viewing will not be disrupted when someone enters or exits the room. In most cases, having the projector and screen installed perpendicular to windows and doors will provide a more hassle-free layout.

Wire your home theater

Remember not to place speaker, audio/video wires parallel to any electrical wiring. Also install lights and dimmer switches to create an environment that approximates what you see in the cinemas. Hire an electrician if you do not know how do to these. Doing it by yourself can be very dangerous, and in some cities it can be unlawful.

Paint the room and add a fitted carpet

You may paint your room in whatever color you like, but make use of flat colors to minimize reflection. Be sure to add a fitted carpet as this helps ensure that people in adjacent rooms or residences are not disturbed. Carpeting will also improve the sound quality of your room as it reduces excessive echoing.

Mount the speakers For you to have a really amazing audio experience, place speakers in these positions: left front, center, right front, right rear, left rear, and subwoofer. If you have a 7.1 system, then add right and left speakers. Do not place rear speakers too low because this can cause the sound to be deafening in some scenes and thus lessen what you can receive from the center speaker.

Set up equipment and furniture

Place the screen or TV where you can watch it straight on, and remember to align its center with your eye line while you are seated. In addition, purchase comfy seats and other furniture pieces that you believe are great to have in that area. If you have minimal or no experience in carpentry, designing a space, or wiring electrical systems, enlist the help of contractors to do this project for you. Most of the time, this will be more cost-effective all things considered. There are several home theater installation companies in Los Angeles, and they vary in terms of pricing structure and quality of service, so be sure to compare 3 to 5 of them before signing any job order.
