"I was relieved to find your eBook.
Not only was your book informational but once my husband and I read the book we
knew immediately that this was a project we could handle on our own without
spending thousands of dollars for a contractor. Instead we were able to
focus on spending the money on a great sound system, chairs, a screen and a
velvet curtain. The main reason we purchased your book was to solidify the
layout of the room and the chairs, and to find a way to build the platforms
ourselves. Your eBook has a solution for everyone tackling a home theater." |

"We bought
all the equipment for the home theater but had no ideas on how to
lay out the room and decorate it. We are excited about this
project and about your book. There is nothing else on the
internet that I could find that provides the info that we needed.
Your book does that.
...I've read through about half. This is great
info. Looks like you did a lot of homework.
thanks

Design and build your own Dedicated Home Theater/Theatre
for a Digital Projector or for a Plasma Tv |
|---|
Imagine pressing a button and curtains open, the lights slowly dim, and your theater's name is projected onto a 120-inch screen and then you enjoy your program in a room that is acoustically tuned for
viewing movies?
How about viewing the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, Nascar, the Olympics, HDTV, Video Games, the Discovery Channel, and 3-D movies
in high-definition on a 4' x 8' screen? Would you like to experience subwoofer and surround sound performance that is equal if not better than what you experience at the movies?
Whether
you prefer a plasma tv or a digital projector
you can have a room that is solely optimized and dedicated for
home theater use for a fraction of the cost if it were built by a
home theater contractor.
Whether you want a dedicated home theater
or you want improve the look and function of your media room the DHT
eBook can guide you through it.

EXPERIENCE TRUE HOME CINEMA
|
|---|
The 120-inch screen is only possible with a digital projector. However, what's described
above doesn’t involve just buying a digital projector a movie screen,
or a large screen plasma tv,
adding surround sound, and mounting
it all in a dark room. In order to have a true cinema
experience you need to optimize the two main components,
the picture and the sound. |
In a standard untreated room. You don't really see
the actual color that's produced by your projector.
A common problem with digital projectors and screens is
that some of the light will reflect off of the screen
onto the adjacent walls. The reflected light will pick-up the
color of the wall and the reflected light is then
reflected back from the walls onto the screen and it distorts the
picture color.
______________________________________________________
Despite how much you spend on your speakers and no
matter how carefully you aim them they cannot
overcome bad acoustics.
In your standard room your speakers frequencies will be lost due to frequency
cancellation created by a standing
wave. Try this test. Stand in your theater room and make one large swat
of
your hands inside of your theater
room. If you hear a twangy reverberation you have a standing wave that
needs to
be eliminated. In an untreated room
the sound waves from each speaker will reflect off of the
closest wall and the
two sound waves will then
reflect towards each other and will create a standing wave of
distortion.. When
like frequencies meet in this manner
they will cancel each other out and you loose some
of the movie's audio
imaging. Finally, while your subwoofer's
performance isn't necessarily hampered in an
untreated room, it performance
could be better, a lot better.

Additional food for thought. The reaction that we get at our my house when we open the door to our home theater is total astonishment, envy, or “you’re my new best friend”. When we were refinancing our home the appraiser enthusiastically told us "I’ve never seen anything like this before in a home in this type of a neighborhood…I’ve only seen these (home theaters) in the million dollar homes across town.”
