Just because you have a big-screen TV doesn’t mean you have a home theater.  While BRAVAS Atlanta of Atlanta is known for some of our rather impressive and extravagant home theater installations we work with people every day to help them set up the basics that will allow them to enjoy the elements that contribute to the home theater experience. 

The core of a basic home theater or media room consists of three major elements-

Large Screen Display –

More and more, the receiver aspect of a television is divorced from the display aspect, in the form of set-top boxes, external TV tuners, computers, and other source devices. Appropriately, the display is being optimized for its main purpose — displaying a wide range of video output from a home theater system. These displays can be huge — some are greater than 120 inches diagonally, which is 10 feet for those of you who aren't good at math.

Digital Video Source –

At a minimum, this means a DVD player; and for most folks, it will also mean a Tv source (such as digital cable or a digital satellite TV service). DVD is a bottom-line must-have when you’re building a home theater because that’s the way most of you access the movies you want to watch.

Surround Sound Capability –

You need to have surround sound to take full advantage of all the audio power stored in your DVD content. With surround sound, you truly start mimicking the theater experience.

Without the display and surround sound, you lose the effect of the visual and audio experience, and without a digital video source, you just have a loud and big TV system. You really need all three in order to move into the realm of home theater experience. If you are ready to make the move to watching TV and movies in a home theater environment, contact BRAVAS Atlanta where we work with homeowners throughout the Atlanta area to overcome their fears of technology and put them on the path to enjoying their home entertainment in the best way possible.
