:: Basic tips ::

  Home Theater packages are best for small rooms
    Selecting a Home Theater system package makes more sense when the system is to perform in an average size room; they are also perfect when the equipment connection is desired to be as simple as possible.

  Home Theater systems which are Energy Star compliant are best

 

  When choosing a receiver for the Home Theater, remember that Energy Star electronics use about twenty five percent less electricity than similar Energy Star non-compliant components.

  Try to fix interference at all causes
    All receivers can get unwanted interference; if high interference is noticed while the receiver is on, turn off the receiver and then back on again; if this continues, try relocating the antenna, connect the receiver in a different outlet and separate components away from the receiver.
    :: Safety ::

  Pair speakers with the receivers power
    When choosing speakers, remember to pair them with the receiver’s watt power output; low watt handling speakers cannot process a powerful receiver’s watt output and then, they break almost immediately when too much volume is applied to them.

  For safety reasons, unplug components off the power source only
  As part of safety, unplug the power cord of the receiver from the wall outlet if the Home Theater is not going to be used for a long period of time; remember to disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug and then pulling it, never unplug the power cord by pulling just the cord.
