Until a few years ago the most enjoyable way to watch a movie, while keeping its original intention, was to go to a movie theater. The introduction of VCR’s made it
easy to rent or buy movies and watch them at home, but TVs simply couldn’t compare to movie theaters’ huge screens and surround sound systems. Not only did TVs have
comparatively small screens and lower quality speakers, but formatting a movie to fit the screen got rid of a substantial part of the picture.
However, more people are now turning their ordinary TV rooms into home theaters. This used to involve a projector and a screen, and it was too expensive for most
people to afford. However, advances in technology have given people more choices for home theater systems. The advantages of home theater systems are that they are
quieter and much more convenient than movie theaters. The excellent picture and sound will also make you feel as if you are in the movie theater itself.
At first, home theaters used 8mm and 16mm film projectors, making movie selections very limited. Then, home theaters had 35mm gear, followed by VHS, and beta, tape.
After that it was Laser-discs, which were like very DVD’s. Laser-discs were followed by DVD’s, until most recently as DVD’s are now being replaced with Blu-Ray Discs.
It’s a completely different game now as home theater system technology has considerably advanced. Contemporary home theater systems, which can include Blu-Ray players,
HD Satellite TV systems, DLP LCD, plasma TVs, and digital surround sound can be incredibly overwhelming to many people. The purpose of our free download-able booklet
is to help you make an informed decision when considering your home theater system purchase.
First of all, you do not have to spend a small fortune to achieve your desired effect. An amazing home theater system can fit within even the most modest budget. All
you really need for the basic home cinema experience is a DVD player or Blu-Ray player, a good video display, and digital surround sound. With those 3 main
components, you can begin to enjoy movies at home more than before.
Some of the best home theater systems are ones which are incorporated into a family or living room. These home theater systems are built right into the room, are
completely unobtrusive, and go fairly unnoticed. These systems look the best because they are like an extension of your house itself, and they don’t look like separate
components wired together, even though they are in reality. In fact, most of your guests won’t even notice these kinds of home theater systems until you turn on the
television or pop in a movie, after which they’ll be blown away.
If you have a larger budget you may want a dedicated room for your home movie experience. A dedicated home theater system room can transform the unused area in your
basement into the hotspot of your home.
If you’re looking to purchase a home theater system, you have a lot of decisions ahead of you. In our free booklet, we go over all the components that make up a home
theater system. You’ll learn what each component does and what to keep in mind when you make your final decision. If you’re thinking of turning your den into a fully
functioning home theater, our free booklet will help you get started. You can download your free booklet at http://www.njhometheaters.com.

You should probably check out Amazon (link below) for most of these, as they offer free shipping on most AV receivers and can generally take $100 or more off the price of a receiver. I actually spoke with an AV pro at Circuit City the other day, and here were his feelings on receivers:
Top of the line: Denon (and some Sony's). They just make the highest quality receivers that are capable of doing pretty much anything you want. However, he did forewarn me (and I believe it) that setting up a Denon system is not for the faint of heart of the inexperienced. He said he's seen people struggle with it for days before calling in an expert.
Pretty good: Yamaha and Onkyo (and Harmon Kardon). Both make similar style receivers that are fairly (moderately) intuitive to set up. I know Onkyo provides a microphone that is supposed to optimize the sound quality and the point where you put the mike. I don't think Yamaha's have that on their mid-range receivers.
After that: Sherwood and other makers. Just not the kind of product you want to buy if you're looking for quality. These are more of the "just-scraping-by" style recievers. I'd spend the little extra to make sure you got a quality product that will last you more than a year or two.
For someone who's just looking to get into the market (which it sounds like you are), you may want to look at the Onkyo TX-SR605 style reciever. It has up-converstion, meaning that you can run one single HDMI cable to your HDTV, and all other video signals will be formatted to work. It has 2 HDMI inputs, 3 component video inputs, and 4 digital audio inputs, which should be plenty to last a while. The set up is fairly obvious on the entire receiver and provides plenty of power to the speakers. Most importantly, you can find it (right now) for $400-$500 USD at several retail outlets, including Amazon. A great receiver if you're just getting into them.
Also, speakers are a different subject. You don't want the brands I listed above, you want to look into Boston Acoustics, Polk Audio, Bose and JBL, to name a few. The sound quality and speaker make up will be much better and last longer. You want a cone (the part that makes the sound) that is not paper, but ceramic, plastic and/or part titanium.
Hope this helps! Check out the link below Amazon (CNET) for more comprehensive reviews of everything you're looking for.
