Building your High-Definition Home Theater System

With up to six times the resolution and superior sound compared to traditional formats, high definition is the perfect way to watch your favorite movies, TV shows, and sports.

Only true HDTV’s are capable of displaying the amazing picture and resolution of an HD signal. Look for a TV capable of displaying a resolution of at least 720p (ideally 1800p) and you’ll have the display. Now all you’ll need is a signal and a way to tie it all together. And special signals require special cables. For the best high-def picture quality, you’ll want to connect your satellite or cable box and high-def movie player to your HDTV via HDMI or component cables.

For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 46-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung’s 2007 model LNT4661FF is a good choice. Besides offering full 1080p resolution the LNT4661F also features a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subtle texture display, an 8ms response time panel for smooth motion, hidden side speakers, an NTSC tuner, and 3 HDMI ports.

Consider a programmable universal remote to control every component of your home-theater system, a sound system, or a wall mount to bring out the high style in your high-def home.

Better picture begs for better sound. So make sure you’ve got an amplifier and speaker set capable of delivering 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. A home theater system sounds only as good as its speakers, and good speakers don’t have to cost a fortune.

The Sony DAV-FX900W DVD Dream System is a home-theater system with integrated 5 DVD/CD changer, incorporating the latest audio and video technologies, including wireless rear speakers, a five-disc DVD changer, and XM-ready satellite radio connectivity. A 5.1-speaker system, with an automatic speaker setup program and a microphone to assist with proper speaker placement and optimizing sound quality, along with an HDMI output, means that you can quickly convert your living room into a full-fledged digital and high-definition theater in no time.

High-Def Programming
Just because you have cable or satellite TV doesn’t mean you’re automatically getting high definition. Make sure you’ve signed up with your cable or satellite provider to receive their HD service. This may require a special set-top box. To decode and deliver the lifelike picture and flawless surround sound of high-def movie, you’ll need a special movie player that uses unique blue-laser technology.
