Bring a blockbuster to your own block! You can enjoy the fun and excitement of the movie-going experience into your own living or family room by installing a home theater system. To get the most out of your equipment, consider the location of the outlets in your home. Position your speakers at equal distances to the left and right of where you plan to watch your home theater system. Connect your home theater system by running flat speaker cables down the length of your baseboard. Consult your owner’s manual for exact instructions. Remember that you paid for your home theatre systems so go with what looks and sounds right to you and your family.

In addition to a home theater system, you can optimize your home entertainment enjoyment by expanding it into a media center by adding a DVD player, video games consoles, or a stereo. The time you spend to set it up properly will save you hours fixing something later on. To ensure your maximum enjoyment from your media center, take some extra time to make sure you set it up right by measuring and running the speaker wires, and wiring the cables behind the equipment. To keep your media center safe and accessible, make are properly attached to the walls in wall units or movable stands.
