What will Home Cinema do for me?
Working Definition Of Home Cinema
Home Cinema refers to a setup of audio and video equipment in your home that tries to duplicate the cinema going
experience.
Application Of Home Cinema
The use of this term can vary widely. Many people are intimidated by the term "Home Cinema" because they think its means a lot of money, equipment, and cables running all over the place.
Custom Home Cinema
At its most complex, you can indeed have a custom built home cinema that costs tens of thousands with a high end
video projector, high end DVD player(s), separate amplifiers for each channel controlled by a master preamp or
controller, inwall speakers, and a couple of subwoofers that can just about shake the entire neighbourhood.
Practical Home Cinema For You
However, in reality, home cinema as actually set up in most homes, does not consist of an expensive custom
installation, nor a lot of money. A home cinema can be something as simple as a 28-inch TV, a basic DVD player
and/or HiFi VCR, inexpensive stereo or AV receiver, and speakers. Whatever type of system you end up with, as long
as it provides the entertainment options you need and like, then it is your "Home Cinema". You can have a
set up in just about any room of the house, a small flat, office, or even outside. The option(s) you choose are up to you.
