The home theater equipment for sale at electronics stores and retail outlets nationwide is appealing for price, sophistication and design. But the real efficiency of any home theater device is how well it fits in with the rest of the home theater setup and how it contributes to overall sound and visual quality entertainment for the audience. Ventilation, proximity to other devices, seating and lighting must be weighed.

The first thing that should be considered when buying the home theater TV device is how many people are likely to be watching it at once most of the time. How far away will the seating be for everyone and how well can these people see? The resolution settings and default television picture standards generally assume a certain distance away from a television viewing experience that is much more than some households allow.

Headaches and blurry vision later in the day can evolve when practices of home television watching lie outside the optimum arrangement. Make sure the picture quality is at best when viewed from the seating arrangement used most often. If seating does not accommodate all situations, then consider a swivel mount or mechanized TV mount to turn the TV to another position while watching from a farther or angled seat. Don’t put a bigger screen TV in the same room and setting that was right for the smaller television.

This consideration should take into account whether or not the TV is mounted is a high position near a corner where the ceiling and wall meet. in a smaller space the necessary distance can be manufactured by lifting the TV overhead for proper visual resolution. The lighting between the TV and the audience, the light sources in the eyeline, and from behind the screen, and what light comes through doors and from hallways is important.

Exterior natural light or night lighting should also be considered when planning the home theater in its dramatic envelope of darkness. If the lights are all off form the main remote, if someone needs to get up does the whole audience blink at bright light? Think about the way dimly lit theaters have low level lighting for occasional exits and re-entrances. Is there enough room for someone to get out without tripping, or will dark movie cause injury?

Ventilation is important to the arrangement of the  seating, wiring, and device placement of the TV in the home theater. Peripherals like the receiver, subwoofer, and speakers may heat up in certain temperatures and in proximity to walls with no cooling or heated elements within. Magnetic resonance and frequency distortion from running appliances like microwave ovens and wireless phones can decay the signal or TV display, as well as the audio delivery to the seated watchers.

Not every potential home theater owner wants to tear up the floorboards and re-carpet the room. But acoustical surfaces matter when a consumer is spending thousands of dollars on a home theater experience. Hard surfaces reflect noise, and ambient surfaces like pillows and cloth help. Square rooms and right angle sound envelopes don’t deliver optimum sound experiences to viewers seated in the middle.

In organizing the home theater, there is no sense in re-inventing the wheel. Think of the best home theaters you have enjoyed movies in and copy good arrangements of outlet, power, and cables when possible. Glossy paint on walls reflects onto the screen and an “absorbent” nonshiny wall can provide a sound field that echoes the principal audio effects from the devices.
