How do you make a home theater system for cds?

Answer 1

Home Theater systems involve surround sound. Audio CDs are recorded in stereo, not surround. Most surround receivers have digital effects processors that can simulate environments such as concert halls and clubs, which can give the illusion that the listener is at a concert for the music playing. Any CD player connected to a surround receiver, along with front and rear speakers, and usually a subwoofer and center channel speaker, will create a home theater system for CDs.

Answer 2

Home theater systems were once the prerogative of the wealthy, with systems costing thousands of dollars to purchase and requiring professional installation which could also run up thousands of dollars in installation fees. That has changed with the proliferation of cheaper systems that have great sound and are also easy to install. Installing a home theater system does require some mechanical aptitude, but is not so complicated that it is beyond the skills of the average consumer. The first step in installing a home theater system is planning the setup. This will save time and headaches; planning where things will be placed will prevent the unnecessary moving of furniture and changes having to be made later. The next step is to find the location of the electrical outlets in the room in which the system is going to be placed. Outlet location will influence speaker placement along with how much power the system can draw. It is also helpful to place the system in a room that is fed power from a single circuit breaker; this technique reduces the chance of overloading your system. If the room that you choose does not have enough outlets, this deficiency can be overcome by using power strips to supplement the number of outlets. It is now time to decide where the television will be placed. There are a number of factors to consider, including size of the TV, size of the room, placement of furniture, and amount of light in the room. Whatever the decision, the most important requirement for the placement is that the center of the television is aligned with the eyes of a seated person. The next step is to place the speakers around the room. The channel speaker should be set either above or below the the television set. The front edge of the channel speaker should be set up so that it aligns with the front of the television screen. The left and right speakers, along with the surround speakers, should be set up equidistant from either side of the television. The surround sound speakers should be pointed toward the back of the room or the ceiling, rather than directly at the viewer. The next step is placing the subwoofer; there are a variety of places the installer can place the subwoofer, but the most important criteria is that it is set halfway between the television and the seating of the majority of the viewers on either side of the room. The final step is connecting the speaker cables from the receiver of the home theater system to the individual speakers. The cables can be run either under baseboards or behind the drywall in order to hide the cables.
