How to make a home theater do-it-yourself?

There are many movie buffs in cinemas. The large screen and realistic sound help you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of events. Almost every person can do a home theater. To do this, it is not necessary to have a lot of money or a huge house.

How to make a home theater

Home cinema is a connecting element that combines speakers, television and other components into a single whole. It is better to think about your own cinema at the stage of apartment design. Technical equipment requires connection and is much more aesthetic if the wires are hidden in a wall or duct. Also, the room must be repaired in a special way. The room should have a minimum number of resonating surfaces. You need to buy comfortable chairs or a sofa. Design depends on the tastes and preferences of the owner.

IMPORTANT! The optimal area for a small cinema is about 42 square meters. m

What is required

To make a home theater the first thing you need to decide on its configuration. The choice of equipment depends on the size of the room and the distance between the audience and the screen. You should know that the space between the screen and the person should be three times the diagonal of the device. So, the diagonal of the TV, located three meters from the sofa, should be a maximum of 42 inches. The simplest system consists of:

1. devices for watching movies (projector or TV);
2. projector screen;
3. computer or laptop;
4. speaker system;
5. signal source;
6. filters on the windows.

Projectors, in comparison with TVs, have a number of advantages: a large screen diagonal, the ability to change image parameters, lack of flicker, as well as small dimensions and light weight. The projector conveys the atmosphere of the cinema much better and creates the effect of "presence". Safer for the eyes is the LCD projector.

REFERENCE! Try to provide stable and uninterrupted power to the entire system to protect it from unforeseen power surges. You can install surge protectors.

Instruction manual

Consider the process of assembling a movie theater using an example with a projector.

To begin with, you need to prepare a room design and do the decoration there. Next, we purchase suitable equipment. For example, an LCD projector with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. We place it in a central place.

Columns should be located in different corners of the room. They are conveniently attached directly to the wall or put on shelves. It is advisable to have a good hammer drill, since without it drilling will be a tedious process. Next, remove the wires from the speakers under various partitions and baseboards. It is better to have an adapter with wires.

Connect the adapter to one side of the cable leading to the subwoofer, and the other to the speaker. The center column is best placed on top of the screen. Typically, the speaker wires included in the kit are limited to a certain size, which may not be enough. Therefore, measure the required length in advance and buy them separately. Place the subwoofer on the side. All wires through the skirting board are suitable for it. Connect the wire from the subwoofer to the computer.

The image is displayed using a computer via DVI. An integral part of the cinema is a good screen with a highly reflective surface. Fix it on the wall using a special mount, which should be in the kit. The projector can be placed both on a shelf and on the ceiling. When choosing a ceiling, there should be a special bar.

Then we hang on the windows filters that protect against the penetration of sunlight. They can also be replaced with conventional blackout curtains.

ATTENTION! To choose a location for the projector, it is better to choose a wall where you can achieve the maximum image width.

Making a home cinema with your own hands is much easier than it might seem at first glance. And if earlier the presence of a cinema hall seemed an inadmissible luxury, now many people can afford it. Independent cinema hall formation will help to significantly save the family budget.
