Home Theater
Millions of TV viewers and music lovers around the world today are enjoying the unique entertainment experience provided by "home theater" audio/video systems. Common to all these systems, from the simplest to the most elaborate, is Dolby Surround sound[1].
Home theater is a very relative term. The term home theater is used to describe the recent evo-lution of audio and video systems that offer exceptional quality and superior performance, in essence, it is like having a movie theater in your own living room.
The smallest level of home theater consists of a HiFi VCR, and a stereo TV. All that is neededis wiring to run from place to place in order to connect everything. A better setup may be a DVDplayer fed through a stereo system and a larger television set, or as elaborate as an entire room professionally wired with multiple speakers and a projection screen. A home theater system may eveninclude theaterstyle chairs and an elevated floor for optical viewing. The whole purpose of home theater is to have a nice big picture, as well as deepbass handling sound and surround sound. A verygood home theater setup will rival or even beat out the local movie theater in terms of quality.
However, when someone mentions the words "home theater", it is understood that there is atleast a 29" TV, a Dolby ProLogic receiver, and a HiFi DVD[2]. This is a basic Dolby Surroundsystem, it has four speakers: Left and Right for the front, a Center speaker, and a Surround Speaker. If you plan to buy AC-3 system, you will enter a new age of Dolby Digital Surround.
