Home Theater System Reviews
Talk about the awesome effect and nothing can beat watching Bruce Willis in Die Hard on a home theater. A normal TV set cannot match the effect of a home theater, because of the sound quality. A home theater creates an amazing atmosphere, which a normal TV set cannot.
A home theater system is a device to create a theater-like effect at home. Since the year 2000, there have been lot of variations under the umbrella term 'home cinema'. It could mean anything from a simple DVD player coupled with a standard CRT TV. Simultaneously, home theater in a box ( HTIB), an ensemble of DVD player, multi channel amplifier, speaker wires, connection cables, remote control, five or more surround sound speakers and a low frequency sub-woofer is also an easy home theater alternative.
Home Theater consists of :
- Input Devices: They include one or more audio or video sources
- Processing Devices: These processes the input devices by either a stand alone AV receiver or pre-amplifier
- Audio Output: It consists of minimum 2 speakers and can have up to 10 sub woofers as well.
- Video Output: It includes a large HDTV display which includes LCD TV, Plasma TV, rear projection TV, video projector or the usual CRT TV.
Sony DAV-IS10
Well, they say that all good things come in small packages and this one is surely of that breed. It has tiny speakers, which cannot even beat a tennis ball when it comes to the size. But it gives a mind-boggling sound, according to the experts. But its compatibility with game consoles and cable and satellite TV boxes is not very good. However, it has a good DVD picture quality. It is a best bet for those who want a fairly good home theater experience at a reasonable budget. Apart from this, do not forget to check out on Sony Blu-ray BDV, which is a small, classy black system with blu ray disc player or amplifier.
