Q&A: Small bedroom: home theater system or a nice set of headphones?

Question by What?: Small bedroom: home theater system or a nice set of headphones?
I’m planning to complement a 32″ in my small bedroom with either a home theater system or a nice set of headphones for a better movie watching experience. The room is extremely small and my planned setup gives me only about 7 feet between where the TV will be mounted and the opposing wall.

Would a HTS be effective enough in such a layout to justify the cost? I like the idea of having one, but would I get better results with a good set of stereo headphones?

I’d go with the home theater system. Remember that you don’t have to buy the best of they best though. Especially if you are putting it in a smaller area. You don’t need a 20″ sub and a 7.1 surround sound to get a good sound. However, IF you are a music nut like myself, a nice pair of headphones is a must.

Question by Danny: What is a good home theater system for my HDTV?
I have a Plasma Screen Samsung HDTV, and I want a great home theater system to go along with it. I only need the speakers, I already have a Bluray player. I would prefer if the speakers were standing, not wall mounted. Any suggestions?

Can’t be done. You need to upgrade to a better home theater system.

Make sure you connect audio out from your tv to audio in on your Digital Home Theater. If thats in place, make sure you have the correct source on your home theater. Usually sources are divided by “DVD”, “Radio”, Audio 1 Audio 2 , AUX, etc.

Another problem might be from your tv. On your sound settings menu, there should be an option to turn off the speakers on your tv and to source them out from your tv’s audio out. Although this setting is standard with most modern tvs, it is an inconvenience because you will have to turn on your home theater every time you want to watch tv to hear sound.

Good Luck

Does any speaker wire work to connect a rear speaker in a home theater system?

unlimitedtechsupport — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 14:17:55 +0000

Question by Grant J: Does any speaker wire work to connect a rear speaker in a home theater system?
I just got a new home theater system, an LG LHT854. The wire leading to one of the rear speakers is a bit short. It disconnects at both ends. I was wondering if I can just buy any standard speaker wire of the same gauge and connect it instead? What will this do to the sound quality, etc.? If this is bad, what else might you suggest for me to get the wire to the rear speaker discretely without having to go spend a bunch of money?

Best answer:

Answer by Your new daddy
Any speaker wire would work the guage doesn’t matter for the small rear speakers guage only makes a difference if you have big speakers. Get long speaker cables any guage and run it along the edges of the room and if you have it hanging on the wall get some thumb tacks and pin the wires straight downwards towards the floor and around the edges. They sell plastic wire covers for the walls for cheap like 10 bucks for a set at stores like Wal Mart and they have them in multiple colors and lengths
