Introduction

The television is the keystone of any home theater setup, but selecting the right one is no easy task. As the starting point, buy according to what space will permit rather than desire alone; although many buyers may want a 90-inch, 3D, 4K TV, the reality is that their tiny recreation room may not be able to accommodate it. Additionally, consider how far viewers will be from whatever TV sizes you’re considering.

The Television as the Keystone

Next, round up your media devices: Blu-ray and DVD players, streaming boxes that run Netflix and Hulu, and game consoles. The nexus of any audio setup, a home theater receiver, which processes signals from all devices and amplifies them for that big-theater feel and sound, is also important.

Complement the receiver with a worthy set of speakers and subwoofers, as well as fixtures to hold them. Homeowners may want to mount their speakers in all four corners of a room for a surround-sound effect, while renters may want to stick to shelves to avoid breaking the terms of their lease.

Lastly, purchase necessary accoutrements such as HDMI cables and a surge protector.
