Home Theater

ahimsa101 asked:


I’m setting up a home theater in my basement (just finished framing). I plan to put 2 sconces on both side walls. But I was wondering if I should put a sconce on each side of the projector screen itself? Is having some dimmed light next to the screen good for viewing or is it better to keep the screen area as dark as possible?

Thanks - Sam.

I have a home theater system, already with some nice speakers. I also have a really nice sound system in my car, and specifically i want to take my amplifier and 2 subs out of my car and attach them to my home system. I have looked around the internet but i can never find any specific instructions. All i really think I need is a way to convert my amp’s power cord (usually attached to my car battery) to be able to plug it into the wall.. what kind of converter would i need? I think i can handle the rest (just plug the RCA cables into the system and etc.)

So mainly what i’m asking is how to convert my power cable that usually is attached to my car battery, into a cord that can be plugged into a wall outlet?

Thanks!

Okay I’m totally in the dark when it comes to this and I want to buy a home theater system for my bedroom to hook up to my dvd player, I just need the speakers, and the speakers that can hook up to my dvd player but I am willing to buy the reciever but only if it comes with any speficiations I should look for? Like how much should I expect to pay for? I need more than brand names like how many Amps or Watts should be good to start off with, I have a collection of horror movies so if that helps any yea, thanks so much for all your help.

Getting ready to purchase a complete home theater system and have been looking at Bose but wondering if there’s a system that is just as good but cheaper. Looking for extremely high sound quality for movies AND music. Price range is $2500 total.

I have a home theater (with DVD player) and a cable recorder box connected to my HDTV. The home theater is on HDMI-1 and the cable box is connected to Component-2 (video and audio). How do I use my home theater speakers to play the audio when I’m watching cable TV through component-2? What additional wiring connections do I need to make? My cable recorder box also has a HMDI connection capability.
