The 6 Best Home theater system

Table of Contents:

A home cinema system consists of several components and is the perfect complement to a television set, enabling the absolute cinema experience within your own four walls. But with the wide range of different manufacturers, models and offerings, the choice can be difficult. All the better, if one informs in the apron something about the individual home cinema systems. The history of home theaterThe AGFA cameras and cine films have been produced and brought to market in Germany since 1930. With this device it was possible for the first time to produce moving pictures and to demonstrate them at home using projectors. At that time, however, only black-and-white images were possible, so that only silent films of questionable quality could be shown in their own 4 walls. In addition, at this time there were also professionally produced films in the specialized trade. 30 years later, Kodak introduced the Super 8 narrow film format. Thanks to the better quality and the wide range of productions produced in Hollywood, home cinema became a real box-office hit. Even though narrow films are still produced today, the big boom ended in 1983 when the Video Home System (VHS) was introduced in Germany. In 1960, the home cinema system consisted of a television set, which, however, was far from being present in every household. Today, in addition to large-format televisions, high-quality devices such as Blu-ray Disc players, Dolby Digital/DTS sound systems and video projectors are also available. The perfect home cinema systemThe classic home cinema systems often consist of a Blu-ray or DVD player as well as a set of surround speakers and an amplifier in addition to the television. Many a cinema fan also completes his system with a high-quality beamer that projects the feature films directly onto a screen. The individual components must be precisely matched to each other and to the space in which they are located. It therefore makes sense to buy a complete system instead of individual components. This saves a lot of time and work, as the assembly is usually quick and uncomplicated. But in order to find the perfect system for you, and thus bring the flawless cinema atmosphere into your home, it is advantageous to compare the individual models with each other. Important features of home theater systemsIn today’s world, a home theater system should have some features if it is to keep up with the latest technology: – The playability of DVDs and Blue Ray discs is an absolute must. – In addition, there should be various connection options so that mobile devices can also be played back, for example via app or Bluetooth. – The popular formats such as MP3 and WMA must be able to be played back without any problems in order to make the most of the home cinema system and not only for film and television. – Home theater systems should also have the following connectors as needed: USB, LAN, card reader, HDMI output with one audio return channel for TV connection, analog and/or digital audio outputs and inputs, as well as connections for the game console. – More and more households are using streaming services such as Maxdome, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Co. Modern home cinema systems should therefore be compatible with these services. The manufacturer’s information tells you which home cinema systems can be connected to these services. – Ultimately, a good and forward-looking system should of course also be equipped with Internet capability. This can be a wired or a W-Lan connection. What to look out for when buyingThe universally correct home cinema system does not exist, because the demands vary and are just as varied as the large range of manufacturers and models. For those who only occasionally want to enjoy movies in cinema quality, a cheaper cinema system for at home is sufficient, which can already be bought for a few hundred euros. But if you want to experience the extraordinary cinema feeling or a full sound of video games, you have to invest a little more. Very important: the tastes are different. So don’t blindly buy a system from the Internet without trying it or one that a friend recommends to you, for example. Home cinema systems must be tried out in peace. Don’t let the seller talk you into something, just because it’s in great demand. For example, before you buy, you need to be clear about what you want, how much you want to invest, and for what main purposes you want to use the home theater system. If you are aware of this, compare different manufacturers and different models online. Read reviews and customer reviews to select high quality home theater systems. Armed with this knowledge, you visit a local dealer and ask for the home cinema systems of your choice. Now only the sound decides. It is advantageous if you bring your favourite CD with you and have it played. This is the only way to find out whether the sound of the individual home cinema systems meets your requirements. Because sometimes it can happen that the sound of a demo CD in the shop does not have the same quality as your CDs at home and therefore also sounds different. A reputable dealer will not refuse your request and will insert your CD. Keep your hands off any dubious offers that are sold far too cheaply and that you may not even be able to try in peace. A high-quality home cinema system has its price, which you already know after comparing on the Internet.
