How theater systems used to be a grandiose part of an extravagant home, showcasing one's spending power, not only in purchasing the electronic gadget units, but also in being able to afford in-house construction of the facility. Before, in order for a home to appropriately accommodate all the necessary entertainment devices, special house modifications must be made. Good thing the electronic industry does not only stop on further developing the quality in presenting media, for home theater system nowadays have specially designed physical structures that should not make it much difficult for anyone to setup a good film viewing system in their homes.
Today's complete entertainment system usually consists of an HD/LCD/Plasma TV, video playing console, speakers, bass or woofers sometimes. All these items must be strategically placed within the entertainment room to get that theater viewing experience at the comfort of your home. However, before installing your media rendering diamonds, better check on the following important aspects:
As important as knowing the size of the TV, determine the size of the room as well. Today's standard HD TVs with an average size of 40 inches should only be placed in rooms that are at least 10 feet in width. TVs of such size are advised to be only viewed with the viewer at least five feet from the TV screen. Under the standard 40-inch HDTV setup, seating and other comfort furniture should be placed at least eight feet away from the TV in order to provide the necessary distance between the viewer and the TV. Viewing a large screen display in only a short distance could cause discomfort to the viewer in the long run.

However, in the absence of such measuring apparatus, measure the room’s sound capacity with your senses. Avoid setting the audio too loud for the room to contain in order to prevent hearing damage that occurs after long term exposure to constantly loud audio.
The two primary audio are usually installed in front on each side, therefore flanking the TV's position. However, under certain entertainment packages wherein additional audio speakers are provided, these two supplemental speakers should be placed on the other side of the room, preferably mounted on the back corners of the viewing area. Such setting can be most appreciated when playing stereo quality movies or music.
On the other hand, middle speaker are preferably placed under the TV screen, since the sound that it creates composes the primary audio of the media. Sub-woofers or bass can be placed anywhere within the room for this unit has only been designed to enhance the richness of the audio being delivered by the speakers.
