Home Theatre is all about transforming your experience of DVD and CD in the home, making it bigger and more enjoyable, but also easy to live with. Home Theatre involves multi-channel surround sound and usually bigger pictures on a larger screen.

The first step beyond the simple TV surround system is to feed the sound from a DVD player into a specialised A/V amplifier or processor and out to better speakers. The second step is to upgrade your screen. The third is to embrace the wonder of a fully custom installed, automated system of the kind CEDIA installers (many of whom are CSE dealers) can provide.

When the finest home theatre products are placed in the hands of an experienced Custom Installer, you’ll enjoy a new dimension to the films and music you love without having to give up your treasured living space and with the luxury of one-touch automation.

Imagine this. Seated in your favourite chair you pick up the remote control and press one button. Curtains close, lights dim, an almost life-size screen image appears, and your favourite film starts. Your personal cinema springs into life and you are instantly immersed in the action. When the film ends, you press one button on the remote, the lights come on and the projector screen disappears. As you look around the room there’s not a single speaker, screen or hi-fi in sight.

This vision of thrilling entertainment and convenience is the ultimate expression of the virtues of Home Theatre. But if your budget won’t stretch to take advantage of all the skills in the custom installer’s portfolio, you’ll still appreciate the quality and performance of a well-designed multi-channel audio/visual system above those of an all-in-one TV-based surround-sound system.

You can spend a little more, or a lot more on your home entertainment, but to enjoy the magic of Home Theatre, you’ll need the expert advice of a specialist dealer/installer. Using the more specialised A/V separates of the kind available from CSE, he or she will carefully match your aspirations with your budget and living space to optimise and personalise your enjoyment of music and film in your home.

Then all you need to do is sit back, relax and be seduced!
