Home Theater
29 Sep 03 by DL Byron
I spent my summer vacation setting up a home theater. It was a good distraction from work because I soon learned that DVD, HDTV, a 5.1 audio system, and setting up the theater setup is not exactly consumer friendly or easy. Given that, if you spend the time and research it, you can get into a system for a reasonable budget. My system:
- Philips 30 inch, widescreen HDTV - $799.00 (Costco)
- Sony DVD - $100.00
- Pioneer Receiver - $199.00 (Costco)
- Boston Acoustics, MicroSystem 9000 II - $699.00 (Magnolia, special)
- Ikea Speaker Stands - $40.00
- Connections - $63.00
- Total = $1,900.00
Some very helpful sites:
- Liquid Theater - provides a 101, product reviews, and more.
- Dolby Home Theater Guide - an authoritative guide to totally geek out on.
- Wide Screen - an explanation of the various formats
