Home Theatre System Buying Guide

Home Theatre Systems usually consist of a multi DVD/CD changer, set of numerous speakers, subwoofer, remote control and a basic set of connection cables. Obviously the amount of kit which is provided with the system will depend upon the price paid. Numerous different companies sell home theatre systems, all of which offer similar equipment, although the quality varies. The best advice is to consider the pieces of equipment included on an individual basis, for example consider the quality of the speakers and subwoofer separately.
When considering the quality of the DVD/CD changer, always look out for the amount of disks it is capable of holding. Consider whether the amount it will hold is enough for your requirements. If it is, then consider whether DVD option is Bluray or fully HD compatible, this allow you to assess the quality of picture which will be received on the television. Although the package is likely to include all the necessary cables, the cable which will connect the DVD and television is likely to not be of the highest quality. This cable will impact upon the quality of the pictures shown and therefore buyers are recommended to purchase their own scart cable, usually with gold pins.
The speakers which are included in the home theatre system will influence heavily on the experience which is gathered from the package. Due to this, it is important to ensure that the speakers are of good quality and the right size. To begin, consider the size of the speakers in relation to the room they will be in, if they are small speakers will they be adequate in a large room. Also consider whether the speakers can be mounted on the walls, some people may wish to do this, although some speakers can only be used on stands. Speakers can usually be upgraded or more can be added on, this may be something which buyers may wish to bare in mind.
The subwoofer which is included in the package will sit alongside the speakers in order to provide an effective sound system. Some people do not find the subwoofer of great importance, but in reality it does have a great role in producing the surround sound which is desired from a home theatre package. Ensure that when positioning the subwoofer, it is in a position which will allow it to project the sound with no obstacles in its way.
For people wishing to find a home theatre system which presents good value for money, the best advice is to ensure different retailers are checked. Always find the package you desire and then search for this on different websites and within stores. Comparison sites are usually excellent to find the cheapest package and to read reviews on packages. The majority of manufacturers produce these systems; therefore there is a wide range of choice to choose from.
