Guidelines For Setting Up Your Home Theater theory

Home Theater Receiver

If you just bought a home theater law or a set of speakers, you may need some tips on properly setting it up if you don't want to hire an installer. You may think you are technically savvy and that installing your new home theater law will be a snap. I will give some recommendations that will help you avoid some generally made mistakes.

Home Theater Receiver

After unpacking your new home theater system, you will ordinarily find one central component as well as 5 or 7 speakers. The central component is going to supply the audio for all of your speakers which you are going to set up. This central component is also known as surround sound receiver or amplifier. It is the central hub of your home theater system.

Make sure that you put this receiver in a location that is fairly centrally placed to minimize the estimate of speaker wire that you need to run. You don't necessarily need to put the receiver right next to your Tv. Just make sure it is in a dry and safe place. Also, be sure that you can surely reach the receiver from your Tv or Dvd/Blue-ray player because you will need to associate these.

Connecting the receiver to power and to your Tv or Dvd is fairly straightforward. Most contemporary Tvs have an optic production which connects directly to your receiver via a fiberoptical cable. This cable may not be included with your law but it is available at any electronics store. However, setting up your speakers may be a bit more tricky.

If you have wireless rear speakers you will not need as much speaker cable and the setup will be somewhat easier. First of all, measure how much speaker cable you will need. Make sure to add some extra cable to take into catalogue those bends and corners. Pick the gauge of the speaker cable depending on how much power you intend to drive your speakers with. The higher the power the thicker the speaker cable. Your subwoofer will ordinarily have a built-in amp and associate to your receiver via Rca cable.

When connecting the speaker cable, be sure that you associate the cable with the right polarity. Each speaker has a color coded terminal, ordinarily red and black. Pick a speaker cable that shows one shore in a separate color than the other. Then associate the cable to all speakers the same way. Then, when connecting the speaker cable to your receiver, ensure that you associate the cable to each speaker final at the receiver in the same manner. This will keep the sound going to each speaker in the correct phase and optimize your sound experience.

Wireless rear speakers will typically incur an audio delay while transmission. This delay is also called latency. Typically the latency ranges in the middle of 1 and 20 ms. For optimum effect, it is best if all of the speakers are in sync. If you have a law that uses wireless rears and wired front speakers, i.e. You have a mix of wireless and wired speakers, you should try to delay the audio going to the wired speakers by the latency of the wireless speakers.

Check with the manufacturer if your surround receiver can be set to delay the audio of specific channels. If you are using wireless rears, you want to set the front-speaker and side-speaker channels to delay the audio. Home theater systems which were not designed for wireless rear speakers may not have this capability. In this case you may want to look for a wireless speaker kit that has very low latency, ideally less than 1 ms. This will keep all of your speakers in exquisite sync.
