Must see! 10 common mistakes in building a home theater

[Home Theater Network HDAV.com.cn] Maybe you are gearing up to set up your own home theater system, but this is a errand that costs both money and effort. In this process, you may make mistakes in one way or another. Although you don't have to "get into a thousand hatreds," you will also bring a lot of trouble to your own organization.

There is a teacher who does not forget the past events. The Home Theater Network (Official WeChat: cnhifi) summarizes 10 common mistakes made during the formation of the home theater system for reference.

One of the mistakes: buying a TV with the wrong size

Most people like big screens when they buy a TV set, but the size of the TV screen is not as big as the size of the room or the distance to watch TV.

There is a principle to follow that the minimum viewing distance for viewing analog or standard definition TV programs is twice the width of the TV screen. For a full HD TV, the minimum viewing distance should be 1.5 times the width of the TV screen. In other words, if you want to buy a 50-inch plasma or LCD Full HD TV, you should sit 5 to 6 feet (about 1.5 to 1.8 meters) away from the TV screen.

If you sit too close to the TV, you will see pixels or scan lines on the TV screen, as well as other screen spots, which are neither pleasing to the eye nor uncomfortable.

However, with the arrival of the 4K Ultra HD ultra-clear TV, there will be better viewing when sitting closer, because the pixels in the picture are smaller than the original, so that the structure is not closer. It is easy to see by the human eye. This distance is about twice the width of the TV screen.

On the other hand, if the TV you bought is too small, or if you have to sit far away from the TV, you will feel like watching a TV in a small window. This problem is especially acute when you watch 3D programming. Because you want to get a better 3D TV effect, the size of the TV screen should cover as much space as possible in front of you, and not too large.

In order to determine the optimal size of the TV you should buy, remember to calculate the placement or installation position of the TV at home, then measure the width and height that can be left for the TV, and of course from the TV screen to Watch the distance of the seat. The next step is to bring the measured data and tape measure to the appliance store.

When purchasing, you should carefully watch the models you want to buy according to the measured values, and watch them from both sides, try different distances and angles, and compare the relationship between these positions and the TV screen. After comparing, you will know what is the best way to watch and what is the worst. In this way, you can determine the size of the appropriate TV based on the best viewing position, the space available in your home, and more.

Mistake 2: The window light problem is not handled correctly

It is a room that has a window, or it will be boring when staying inside. However, the best environment for home theater is to avoid windows, so that the TV will play a better picture, which is especially important for projectors. Since your home theater room has windows, remember to avoid installing the TV on a wall directly opposite the window. If you have curtains, make sure that no light is transmitted through the curtains.

The third mistake: cheap when buying a speaker

Some are willing to spend money on audio and video equipment, but when buying a speaker or subwoofer, they always want to pick a bargain. This is not a wise choice. Of course, this does not mean that you have to spend a lot of money on the speakers, but at least you should buy speakers that can complete the home theater playback task.

Because of the variety of speakers, the brand is also a lot of hair, the choice has become a chore. But you'd better go to the speaker dealership to listen carefully to the results. If you want to buy online, then you must go to the physical store of the business to seriously experience the order. You should carefully compare and bring your favorite and familiar CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Blu-ray discs, and listen to their sound through different speakers.
