Written to provide information on all price ranges of equipment to
everyone from the beginner to the experienced home theater owner,
Build Your Own Home Theater has been completely updated for today's
audience. This new edition contains valuable consumer information
on the latest digital home theater components and technology,
including digital surround sound receivers, DVD players, digital
television & HDTV, digital satellites (DBS), digital
camcorders, and digital hard-drive video recorders. It also
features easy-to-understand explanations of surround sound
technology and set ups including Dolbya Digital, THX Surround EXTM,
and DTS-ESTM.
If you are interested in audio, video, and home theater
technologies, this book will give you the information you need to
choose the right components, hook the pieces together, and create a
fabulous theater experience right in your own living room. When the
first edition of Build Your Own Home Theater was published, decent
home theater systems were primarily only affordable for wealthier
consumers. Now, several years later, the technology is accessible
to millions of homes as products such as wide-screen televisions,
digital surround sound audio, DVD Video and Audio Players, and
digital satellite systems have become commonplace. Though most
people don't have actual home theater set-ups in their living
rooms, more and more consumers are trying to combine components
they already own with new high-tech components to create an
affordable home theater experience. Complete with important home
theater Web site addresses and resources, Build Your Own Home
Theater, Second Edition is a comprehensive, current, and
well-researched text. Beginners to advanced home theater consumers,
Videophiles, technicians, engineers, and electronics hobbyists from
all walks of life will especially find it invaluable.
