| Home Theater Components |  1. The Video Display Device
This is the most important component you have to think over. After-all, the idea of home theater is to make you feel like at the cinema. The most important component of this experience is the visual experience of viewing a large image on a screen. You can choose any device available:
• A large screen traditional CRT-based television.
• A Rear-projection Television
• A Flat Panel LCD or Plasma Television.
• A Video Projector/Screen Combination.
Choosing the size of screen you should pay attention to the actual size of your room. From there, you can determine what type of video display device would be most suitable.
2. Audio Reproduction
The next essential component of movie theater experience is sound. It can be implemented in the home theater environment with the help of an AV receiver or Preamplifier/Amplifier combination.
An AV Receiver usually combines the functions of three components:
A. A radio tuner for AM/FM and, in some cases, HD (High Definition Radio) or XM-Satellite Radio.
B. A Preamplifier
C. A built-in Multi-channel amplifier
The AV receiver is the heart of a home theater system and provides most, if not all, the inputs and outputs that you connect everything, including your television, into. An AV Receiver gives the possibility to centralize your home theater system.
But sometimes the functions of an AV Receiver can be carried out by separate components: Preamp/Processor, Tuner, and either a single multi-channel amplifier or even separate amplifiers for each channel.
3. Loudspeakers
Loudspeaker is the next element of your home theater system. The size and type of room affects the speakers you need for your home theater. If you are going to buy loudspeaker you should:
1. Listen to several types of speaker setups before buying
B. Try to buy the same brand and related model speakers for your home theater. In such a case you will have a better acoustical match between both the speakers and the room.
