Home Theater

Home Theater:
Many options are available for building home theater rooms, including wall or ceiling mounting hardware, high-quality AV cables, surround sound systems and important accessories like power conditioners and surge protectors. Remodeling is a great time to build these components into the architecture of the room so the result works at its best and looks great.
TV Options:
Flat-panel TVs range in size up to 60 inches plus, and installation options are limited only by your imagination. It's possible to mount flat TVs on walls, in corners, over fireplaces, under kitchen cabinets or even behind bathroom mirrors. Media Center computers with large monitors also can double as a TV to create a multi-purpose workstation for a study, kitchen or child's room. And projectors, once reserved for the boardroom or home-theater enthusiasts, bring the big screen into the home for more families to enjoy.
Media rooms:
Remodeling is a great time to build-in surround sound speakers where digital TVs
will be located. For instance, 7.1 and 5.1 sound requires speakers in specific locations around the room. Most homeowners want these speakers built into the walls and don't want to see any wires. Permanently installing high-quality speakers, or at least the speaker wires, is easy to do during remodeling but very difficult and expensive afterwards. For media rooms with front projectors, special video wiring is required between the projector and the AV equipment.
