These screens can be put away while not in use. The screens are white with a black back much like the movie theater screens we see.

The cost of these machines is upwards of $1000. While you can find some home cinema projectors that cost less the best projectors will cost a bit more.

Projectors and the screens to go with them are just a small amount of the components you will need to set up a home entertainment system. You will also want to look at the types of sound available.

Whether you purchase a Bose system or Sony system you can now purchase systems with all wireless speakers or rear wireless speakers. The Bose system is one of the best surround sound systems available in stores today. Bose has always been known for top quality radios and speaker systems and that has not changed. Though more expensive than others available the technology and digital sound from a Bose system is high quality. The wireless speakers of any surround sound system are made to be unobtrusive in your home, therefore they will blend in to any where you want to put them and you want have speaker wire running along the walls, floors or ceilings of your home.

The wireless technology of the speakers works much the same as your wireless Internet; you have a hub that transmits the sound to your speakers. As mentioned above there are some systems that have rear wireless speakers only. Those systems enable you to place your rear speakers around the room, but require the front speakers to have speaker wire. An all-wireless surround sound system is definitely the way to go if you are willing to spend the money. These systems are still upwards of $500.

The speakers of these new systems are also improved. Instead of being big and bulky, they are now small like car speakers or they can be small round tubes that sit on shelves. The systems not only sound high tech, but also look high tech. The speakers are no longer made with paper so they can’t be easily damaged by water if there is an accidental spill.

SONY

The Sony home cinema system is one of the best. The surround sound system has wireless capabilities so that you can have sound around your home without being obvious. The wireless system allows you to place the speakers where you get he optimal sound without having wires running all over. The Sony DVD players are also a top leader for digital capabilities. The digital pictures produced by the Sony DVD players have a high resolution with maximum power output. Keep in mind one of the newest releases is the Playstation 3, which also has the new blue ray disc technology. Sony combines a lot of components such as CD, DVD and game console all into one component. This can certainly save you from the many cable jacks you need otherwise. Price comparison depends upon which Sony system you choose. Right now the Playstation 3’s are running around $600, while the other home cinema systems available at Sony may get you the surround sound, DVD player, and TV for a little more. It is all in preferences. The prices are comparable to the Panasonic DVD home cinema systems.

Panasonic

Panasonic home cinema systems when we speak strictly about the DVD’s are comparable in price to the Sony products. The Panasonic systems use the Dolby digital sound with the Dolby ProLogic decoders’ built- in. This means you will have movie theater quality sound and digital quality pictures while you are still at home. While the Panasonic DVD home cinema system may not be wireless they do have surround sound models with the wireless capabilities. Some of these systems only have rear wireless speakers. It will depend on your preference, which system will work for you.

When you compare home cinema systems you need to search for the features, the cost, and the quality each system produces to make a well-rounded decision. The two systems mentioned above are only a small part of the larger number available. You might already have a preferences for manufacturers, but aren’t quite set on which system they produce is the best. Remember online resources can direct you to these answers.

First off lets look at the theater side of things. To us a movie theater is a huge flat screen with THX or Dolby surround sound that leaves us with a little hearing loss after the movie. We can now have this technology in our homes. While we may decide a 60″ plasma screen television is as big as we want to go that option is definitely available with high quality pictures. Next we might look at the surround sound systems available. Do we want Dolby digital sound or wireless surround sound or both? The technology has made the surround sound not only wireless with high quality digital, but also unobtrusive to the eye. Or to state it another way cosmetically pleasing. We can even take the home cinema system to an extreme and have projector and projector screen to make it like the real movie theater. The choice is of course up to you as the consumer and how much you are willing to pay for a high quality system.

Next let us look at the media room aspect. Media room typically denotes DVD players, VCR’s, and game consoles. When you combine all of this technology into one system you create a home cinema theater media room. The DVD players have advanced to give the best digital picture capable of our technology. We even have a blue ray disc DVD player that enhances technology even more and allows more data on one disc than ever before. VCR’s are slowly becoming obsolete, but for those who have yet to make the complete move to DVD’s there are still new players coming out most of them are DVD/ VCR combos so that you have one component instead of two. The game consoles vary and your know, which you prefer. Each media component has the ability to play music CD’s with high quality sound.

Whether your preference runs to a smaller version of the home cinema theater media room or the larger version you will not find a shortage of technology or products on the shelf to find the best system for you and your family.
