Q:
What kind of
room is needed for a home theater system?
A:
The
truth is that the best home theaters are in dedicated
rooms that are very dark, quiet and can hold a very
large screen TV or, better yet, a projection screen.
However, not every home has such a space, and every day
we create fantastic home theater experiences in
multi-purpose rooms, like Rec Rooms, Family Rooms, and
Bonus Rooms.
Q:
TV
terms are confusing-- what is the best type of TV for a
home theater?
A:
The
TV world is indeed a confusing and rapidly changing one.
LCD, DLP, plasma, etc.-- there is no single best TV
technology for all situations. At J.J. Vanderson, we
carefully evaluate the room and viewing conditions, and
then find the best technology solution and best value.
Q:
What are the important elements of a home theater
system?
A:
It
all starts with a big screen TV or projector; then a
surround sound receiver or processor/amp combo; video
sources (DVD, Hi-def cable, Hi-def satellite, HDTV
antenna); a 5,6, or 7 speaker package; subwoofer; and an
easy-to-use remote control. You might also consider
lighting control, theater seating, and room acoustical
treatment. And don't forget the popcorn.
Q:
Will J.J. Vanderson install my existing AV equipment?
A:
Yes,
but we request that you make sure your existing
components still have working remote controls and
owner's manuals. If you are providing any interconnect
cables they must be long enough for the cabinet
conditions and allow us to leave a service-loop.
