  COMPLETE A HOME-THEATER BY ADDING A SUBWOOFER
   
All Home-Theater systems must have a subwoofer in order to let each speaker do its job properly. Low-frequency sounds put too much stress on regular speakers and this shortens the speakers life as well.
 

  EACH SPEAKER DOES A PARTICULAR FUNCTION

 

 
The left and right loudspeakers carry the majority of the film’s musical score and many of the sound effects; the center-speaker makes sure onscreen sounds such as voices come from the screen.
 

  SAVE THE PACKAGING IN CASE OF RETURNS
   
When shopping for new loud-speakers, hold on to the original packaging at least for the first week or so. Do this in case that the speakers do not perform in a satisfactory manner and they have to be returned to the electronics shop.

  GET SHIELDED SPEAKERS FOR HOME-THEATER SYSTEMS
   
Speakers made specifically for Home-Theater systems are shielded; Shielded is a feature that uses a metal shield inside the enclosure of the speaker to prevent the magnetic energy inside from getting out and damaging analog TV screens or similar electronics.
 

  MATCH THE RECEIVER'S POWER TO THE SPEAKERS HANDLING
 
When choosing speakers, match their impedance to the power amplifier or receiver; plugging speakers that can handle little power to a powerful receiver will only damage the speakers when too much volume is applied to them.
