A Home Theater is an environment specially constructed for the viewing of movies. These environments fall into two general categories: Surround Sound Systems and true, dedicated-use, Home Theaters.

Surround Sound viewing environments are usually general-purpose rooms, outfitted with the audio and video equipment necessary to deliver a movie experience with the same power and subtlety intended by the creators of a given film. At the heart of the video system is a large-screen display device - all the latest technologies are available here, including High Definition, stylish, super-thin plasma or LCD, and crystal-clear projection systems for the biggest impact available. At the heart of the audio system is a surround sound processor that is tasked with taking the digital soundtrack from the movie you are watching, and create an envelope of sound around you. In conjunction with carefully selected amplification, and an array of acoustically matched speakers, this audio system will bring to life the motion picture the way the director intended.

A dedicated Home Theater builds on the fundamental elements mentioned above, but takes it a step further to create an environment specifically designed and built for the purpose of projecting movies. A typical Home Theater might contain some of the following design elements:

• Tiered, theater-style seating to allow every guest in the house to comfortably enjoy a great view of the action
  
• Architectural and design elements, such as a proscenium with motorized curtains, an authentic popcorn machine, a ticket box office, or "now showing" movie posters on the walls
  
• Theatrical lighting features, like rope-lights, wall sconces, or fiber-optic lighting in the ceiling to simulate a starry night
  
• Acoustical treatments on the walls to improve the sound reproduction of the room, and special building materials used inside the walls and ceiling to acoustically isolate the Theater from the rest of your home
  
• Custom-programmed control interfaces to make everything happen the way you want it, with the touch of a button
