Home Theater Planning Guide

How To Start Planning For Your Own Home Theater!

Why is watching a movie in a theater so much more fulfilling than watching one on your own television? There are three key elements responsible for the dramatic difference between a movie theater you become completely immersed in the story unfolding before you. The superior image quality of the large screen brings every detail to light and with the help of the surrounding darkness, the film captures your undivided attention. To top it off, dialogue, sounds effects and music are projected from speakers positioned around the theater to draw you in even further. 

Advances in audio and video technology now make it possible to have the movie theater experience in your very own home. But great technology will only get you halfway there. You'll need an acoustic friendly space, an appropriately planned seating configuration and a stellar atmosphere to bring your home theater to life. 

Designing your home theater may seem like a daunting task after reading articles filled with esoteric language and complex diagrams. Suprisingly, coming up with a plan is relatively simple if you understand some home theater basics. We'll show you how to pick the right room and offer some tips on how to modify any space to optimize your system's sound and image quality. To start out, you should think about what you want and what you have to work with. 


Before You Begin
Before you start planning your home theater design, it's important to think about why you are building it. If you know and understand what you hope to get out of your theater, the design process will be easier and your end result will be just what you wanted. You may want to jot down your answers to the following questions to use as a reference during the design process: 

1. Who will be using your home theater? 

When you begin planning, it's a good idea to think about who the primary users will be. If your kids will be using your home theater the most, you may want to think about adding a few extra seats so that they can have their friends over to enjoy the show with them! 

2. What kind of space do you have available? Will the theater be a dedicated room or a multi-purpose room? 
You will need a considerable amount of space for your home theater. Whether you're starting from scratch or converting and existing room, you still need to devote an ample amount of space to create a home theater in order to accomodate all equipment appropriately. 

3. What kind of investment are you willing to make to build your home theater? Are you on a budget? 

A huge factor to consider when planning a home theater is the investment that you are willing and able to make. If you're on a small, strict budget, it may be better to convert and existing living room into a theater rather than building one from scratch. If you do not have a tight budget you will have more flexibility and therefore more possibilities with regard to design and technology. 


Designing The Room
Designing the RoomIt's important to know what makes or breaks a home theater in terms of the space that it's in. Several factors have a significant impact on sound, image quality and atmosphere in a home theater. 

SIZE & SHAPE 

When choosing a room to build your home theater in, you need to consider its shape. It is best for acoustic rooms to be rectangular in shape, not square. In a square room, wound waves produced cause "dead spots" in certain areas of the room. Sound waves reflect in rectangular rooms, too, but interference can be kept at a minimum with the right acoustic treatments. 

SURFACES 

In an enclosed room, sound is greatly affected by its interior surfaces. Hard surfaces reflect sound waves creating patterns of interference which can cause sound distortion. Soft surfaces will minimize wave reflection and enhance sound quality in the room. Although sound wave reflections can cause sound distortion, they should not be eliminated entirely, as an acoustically dead room is awkward and unnatural. To ensure the best quality sound in your home theater, minimize the amount of reflective surfaces in the room and place sound-absorbing materials at first reflection points. 

Minimize Reflective Surfaces 

Tile and hardwood flooring, glass windows and stone fireplaces are all examples of hard reflective surfaces to avoid in a home theater room. If your room has hard surfaces, there are ways to prevent sound interference. 


  • Flooring: Wall-to-wall carpeting is ideal in an acoustic room, however, area rugs that cover the majority of a hard floor will suffice.
  • Windows: All of the windows in a home theater room should be covered with curtains. Not only will drapes reduce sound wave reflection, they will also help to minimize the amount of ambient light in the room.
  • Furniture: Sound can also be affected by furniture. Soft, cushioned seating will help absorb sound while large, hard surfaced furniture may interfere.


Reduce Reflection at First Reflection Points
The best way to prevent interference is to reduce the sound wave's energy at the first reflection point. To do this, you need to have appropriate sound-absorbing material on your walls, ceiling and floor at the first reflection points. To determine your first reflection points, first determine your seating configuration and speaker postions, then create a reflection diagram. 

LIGHT 

It is important to control the amount of light inside your home theater as light will have a negative impact on picture quality and ambiance. If you have windows in the room, invest in some heavy drapes and thick blinds to block out as much natural light as possible. Not only can drapes keep out unwanted light, they can also absorb sound and add a great decorative element to a home theater. You should also try to keep your wall colors dark, as any light that does its way into the theater will reflect off light wall colors. 

Common Home Theater Layouts 

Home Theaters can be built in any relatively large space in your home. In most cases your chosen space will fall into one of two room categories: dedicated or multi-purpose. Here we'll highlight the benefits of each of these popular home theater scenarios to help you get started. 

Multi-Purpose 

Multi-Purpose 

Converting a living or family room into a multi-purpose home theater is an easy way to get theater quality system into an existing living space in your home. Although the multi-purpose home theater may lack a theater atmosphere, there are many benefits to consider. 


  • Great for a Small Budget If you are on a tight budget then a multi-purpose theater may be the best way to go for several reasons. You may be able to incorporate some of your current furniture and audio video equipment into your home theater design. The only adjustments that you'll need to make to the room will be positioning your furniture in correct angles and preparing the room to be condusive to acoustic quality needed for a successful home theater.
  • Multi-Functional As its name suggests, a multi-purpose home theater arrangement is used for purposes other than movie watching. If you choose to integrate a theater into your existing living room, you will be able to use your sound system to play music, as well. You may want to consider some of our home theater sectionals for your multi-purpose room. Aside from being great home theater seats, they're perfect for kicking back with your friends and family.
  • A Great Reason to Redecorate Your new entertainment system will bring more traffic into the room, so why not update your look? Check out some great accent tables, entertainment centers and rugs and let the redecorating begin!

Dedicated 

Dedicated 

If you have a flexible budget and some extra space, then devoting an entire room to your home theater can be a reality. 


  • Best Sound and Picture Quality In a dedicated home theater scenario, you can make adjustments to any part of the room to optimize your system's sound and image quality, while in a multi-purpose arrangement you have to compromise.
  • More Seating Dedicated home theaters can generally hold a larger audience than a multi-purpose theater could. Any space within the screen's viewing angle can be used for seating. Check out our multiple chair seating options!
  • Creative Freedom If you want to recreate the look of an authentic cinema, you can! We have everything you'll need to make your home theater feel like the real thing. 






Home Theater Seating Buying Tips



There are several factors to think about when you’re choosing your home theater seating. You’ve already considered your budget, and Home Theater Seating Online has seats ranging from economical choices to premium seating. But what about style? Here are some tips for picking perfect seats.
Seating Style 


Authentic CinemaIf you’re going for a home theater that really feels like the cinema, check out our authentic cinema seating. There are so many color and style choices that they are a great place to get design inspiration. 


Multi-Chair Theater SeatsOur multi-seat arrangements also evoke the authentic theater experience, but they have the plush comfort of a recliner or couch. Many of the styles are versatile and would fit beautifully in a shared-purpose room. As a guideline, although not universally true, seats with a lower seat height will look more like cinema seats, while higher backs will seem more like living room recliners. 




Single Recliner The same rule applies with our individual seats, which are a great option for rooms that are going to serve many functions. You’ll be able to arrange the seats differently for movie watching, entertaining, looking out the window, enjoying a fire in the fireplace, or whatever other function you can think of. Many come with the features you want in home theater seating, like cup holders, storage, motorized recliners, and top grain leather. 


Sofa GuidesOf course, home theaters are for more than just watching movies. You’ll feel like you’re courtside when you’re watching the game from one of our college logo chairs. If you’re a sports fanatic or a dedicated alum, consider showing your pride while lounging in these recliners.
Material Choices MaterialYou’ll have your pick of fabrics for your chairs. For more economical choices, opt for microfiber, leathermatch, bicast leather, or vinyl. Microfiber is a popular option because of its distinctive softness, but it’s also incredibly durable and will last for years. The premium choice, of course, is top grain leather. We offer several brands that use the finest leather, taken from the top hide. It’s the softest and most durable leather, so a piece using top-grain can be a real investment with a high return.
Seating Arrangement
When you set your chairs up, remember that their placement will directly impact your viewing experience. If you’re planning on having a couple rows of chairs, remember that the people in that back want to see the whole screen, too. You could choose complementing low back chairs for the front and high back chairs for the back row. Risers are also a great option because every row of seats will have a perfect view. Make sure you know what you’re doing before you start building, though, and you might want to consult a contractor. If you’re going for one long row, arrange them in a semi-circle with the midpoint of the chairs lining up with the midpoint of the screen, as in the image below. This arrangement will give those sitting on the end an ideal viewing angle because they won’t have to turn their heads or strain their necks to see.

Thoughts On Home Theater

For a while, I have been dying for a home theater system. You see, I have a friend who has it all. He doesn't buy stuff to impress people – he just loves high-tech gadgets and has the money to spend on them. He has been working on his home theater systems gear for about three years now, and it is really coming together. He actually has the best home theater speaker system that I have ever seen, and his tv is not shabby either. He has one of those new widescreen TVs – not the newest ones, but the ones from a generation before. It is still extremely high resolution, and although it takes up a huge portion of the room, it is worth it.

I have been saving up for the most perfect home theater system that I can find. You see, just for once I wanted to have the best one. My friend always has nicer stuff than I have. He wears better clothes, he drives a better car, and of course he has a better home theater system. He knows all about theater home system design as well. You see, and he is an acoustic engineer professionally, so he loves really high-quality audio gear.

I know what TV I want to get, but I can't quite decide on home theater audio systems. What kind of home theatre system should I get? Part of me wants to get one of those over the top, extremely high powered home theater systems. I want to be able to turn up the sound as loud as I want and scare the neighbors. Another part of me, however, thinks that I'm getting too old for that. Rationally, I think it would be better served by a home theater system with flat-panel speakers. I have heard that that kind of home theater system delivers the best sound quality, which is kind of the whole point.

The really tough thing is that there is nowhere I can try out a home theater system before I buy it. Oh sure, I can try it in the store, but the acoustics of the store have nothing in common with the acoustics in my house. How will I know if the home theater system will play the way I want it to if I don't get to listen to it inside? Oh well – sooner or later I'll make a decision.

Home Theater - A brief overview

Home cinema, also commonly called home theater, are home entertainment set-ups that seek to reproduce a movie theater experience and mood with the help of video and audio equipment in a private home.
In the 1950s, playing home movies became popular in the United States as Kodak 8 mm film projector equipment become affordable. The development of multi-channel audio systems and later LaserDisc in the 1980s created a new paradigm for home cinema. In the early to mid 1990s, a typical home cinema in the United States would have a LaserDisc or VHS player fed to a large rear-projection television set. Some people were using expensive front projectors in a darkened viewing room. Beginning In the late 1990s,and continuing through out much of the 2000s home theater technology progressed with the development of the DVD-Video format, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel audio ("surround sound") speaker systems, and high-definition television. In the 2010s 3D televisiontechnology and Blu-ray Disc have ushered in a new era of home theater once again.
In the 2000s, the term "home cinema" encompasses a range of systems meant for movie playback at home. The most basic and economical system could be a DVD player, a Standard Definition large-screen television with at least a 27" diagonal screen size, and a "home theater in a boxsurround sound speakersystem with a subwoofer. While a more expensive home cinema set-up might include a Blu-ray Disc player or media center appliance/computer with a 10-foot user interface, a High Definition video projector and projection screen with a 100+" Diagonal Screen size "and a several thousand-watt home theater receiver with five to seven surround sound speakers plus a powerful subwoofer. The most advanced systems are 3D TV enabled home theaters making use of 3D TVsets/projectors and Blu-ray 3D players which use special glasses to aid viewers in seeing 3D movies and sporting events.Home theater means different things to different people. Home theater designs and layouts are personal choices and the only known minimum set of requirements for a home theater are: A television set or video projector CRT(no new models sold in U.S.), LCDDLP , Plasma displayorganic light-emitting diode (OLED), SXRDLaser TV, rear-projection TV, video projector, etc. (SDTVHDTV, or 3DTV) at least 27" inches measured diagonally, an AV receiver or preamp (surround processor) and amplifier combination capable of at least stereo sound but preferably 5.1 Channel Dolby Digital and DTS audio,and something that plays or broadcast movies in at least stereo sound such as a VHS HI-FI VCR or LaserDisc Player (no new stand-alone models of either are available. VHS vcr's are usually bundled in combo decks with DVD players) , a DVD player and/or a Blu-ray Disc Player, cable or satellite receiver, video game console, etc. Finally a set of speakers at least two are needed but more common are anywhere from six to eight with a subwoofer for bass or low frequency effects.
an inexpensive DIY type home theatre setup in a bedroom consisting of mostly used and mismatched components, note the console television, iPod nano with dock,Xbox 360 and speakers of different brands, (the receiver is made by Sony and thesubwoofer is made by Philips.)
The most expensive home theater set-ups, which can cost over $100,000 (US), have expensive digital projectors and projection screens, and maybe even a custom-built screening rooms which include cinema-style chairs and audiophile-grade sound equipment designed to mimic (or sometimes even exceed) commercial theater performance.

Design

Common set-up of a basic home cinema layout with standard distance for a 10-foot user interface media player with a big-screen TV and 5.1 surround sound speaker configuration. The distance between viewer and TV varies, but is typically around 10-feet with a 32" or larger big-screen television display.
Today, Home Cinema implies a real "cinema experience" and therefore a higher quality set of components than an average television with only built-in speakers provides. A typical home theater includes the following parts:
  1. Video and Audio Input Devices: One or more video/audio sources. High quality movie media format such as example Blu-ray Disc are normally preferred, though they often also include a DVDVHS,Or LaserDiscplayer and/or video game console systems. Quite a few home theaters today include a HTPC (Home Theater PC) with a media center software application to act as the main library for video and music content using a 10-foot user interface and remote control.
  2. Audio Processing Devices: Input devices are processed by either a standalone AV receiver or a Preamplifier and Sound Processor for complexsurround sound formats such as Dolby Pro-Logic/and or Pro-logic II, X, and Z, Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital EXDTS-ESDolby Digital PlusDolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. The user selects the input at this point before it is forwarded to the output.
  3. Audio Output: Systems consist of at least 2 speakers, however most common today is 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system, but it is possible to have up to 11 speakers with additional subwoofers.
  4. Video Output: A large-screen display either an SDTVHDTV, or 3D TV. Options include Liquid crystal display television (LCD), plasma TVOLED,SXRDDLPLaser TVrear-projection TV, a traditional CRT TV,(only available second-hand at this point) or video projector and projection screen.
  5. Atmosphere: Comfortable seating and organization to improve the cinema feel. Higher-end home theaters commonly also have sound insulation to prevent noise from escaping the room, and a specialized wall treatment to balance the sound within the room.

Component systems vs. theater-in-a-box

High-quality home cinemas are assembled from component pieces purchased separately to provide the best combination of equipment for the cost. It is possible to purchase home theater in a box kits that include a set of speakers for surround sound, an amplifier/tuner for adjusting volume and selecting video sources, and sometimes a DVD player. Though these kits often pale in comparison to a custom-built home cinema, they are inexpensive and easy to set up; one needs only to add a television and some movies in order to create a simple home theater. This makes them popular in the public's eyes.[citation needed]

Dedicated home theater rooms

A large projection screen in a media room.
This example is of home theater screening room with video projectormounted in a box on the ceiling. Built-in shelves provide a place for movie decor, DVDs, and equipment. Note the component stack on the right, where the audio receiver, DVD player, secondary monitor, and video game system are located.
Some home cinema enthusiasts go so far as to build a dedicated room in the home for the theater. These more advanced installations often include sophisticated acoustic design elements, including "room-in-a-room" construction that isolates sound and provides the potential for a nearly ideal listening environment. These installations are often designated as "screening rooms" to differentiate from simpler installations.
This idea can go as far as completely recreating an actual cinema, with a projector enclosed in its own projection room, specialized furniture, curtains in front of the projection screenmovie posters, or a popcorn or vending machine with snack food and confectionery. More commonly, real dedicated home theaters pursue this to a lesser degree. Presently the days of the $100,000 and over home theater is being usurped by the rapid advances in digital audio and video technologies, which has spurred a rapid drop in prices making a home cinema set-up more affordable today than ever before. This in turn has brought the true digital home theater experience to the doorsteps of the do-it-yourself people, often for much less than what you would expect to pay for a low budget economy car. Current consumer level A/V equipment can meet and often exceed in performance what you would expect to experience at a modern commercial theater.

Seating

Home theater seating consists of chairs specifically engineered and designed for viewing movies in a personal home theater setting. Most home theater seats have a cup holder built into the chairs' armrests and a shared armrest between each seat. Some seating is movie theater-style chairs like those seen in a movie cinema, which features a flip-up seat cushion. Other seating systems have plush leather reclining lounger types, with flip-out footrests. Additional features like storage compartments, snack trays, Tactile transducers (nicknamed "Bass Shakers"), or even electric motors to recline the chair are available.
This seating is more like to be a row of recliners made by companies such as Berkline and in many cases even includes a built in cup holder. There are many different styles and brands to choose from so that you will be far more comfortable than you would be in a theater, but still get that same movie theater feeling.

Backyard theater

In places that have the proper outdoor atmosphere, it is possible for people to set up a home theater in their backyard. Depending on the space available, it may simply be a temporary version with fold able screen, a projector and couple of speakers, or a permanent fixture with huge screens and dedicated audio set up poolside. Due to the outdoor nature, it is quite popular with BBQ parties and pool parties.
Some specialist outdoor home cinema companies are now marketing packages with inflatable movie screens and purpose built AV systems.
Some people have built upon the idea, and constructed mobile drive-in theaters that can play movies in public open spaces. Usually, these require a powerful projector, a laptop or DVD player, outdoor speakers and/or an FM transmitter to broadcast the audio to other car radios.

History

1950s, 1960s, and 1970s

In the 1950s, home movies became popular in the United States and elsewhere as Kodak 8 mm film (Pathé 9.5 mm in France) and camera and projector equipment became affordable. Projected with a small, portable movie projector onto a portable screen, often without sound, this system became the first practical home theater. They were generally used to show home movies of family travels and celebrations but also doubled as a means of showing private stag films. Dedicated home cinemas were called screening rooms at the time and were outfitted with 16 mm or even 35 mm projectors for showing commercial films. These were found almost exclusively in the homes of the very wealthy, especially those in the movie industry.
Portable home cinemas improved over time with color film, Kodak Super 8 mm film film cartridges, and monaural sound but remained awkward and somewhat expensive. The rise of home video in the late 1970s almost completely killed the consumer market for 8 mm film cameras and projectors, as VCRs connected to ordinary televisions provided a simpler and more flexible substitute.

1980s

The development of multi-channel audio systems and LaserDisc in the 1980s added new dimensions for home cinema. The first known home cinema system was designed, built and installed by Steve J. LaFontaine as a sales tool at Kirshmans furniture store in Metairie, Louisiana in 1974. He built a special sound room which incorporated the earliest quadraphonic audio systems and he modifiedSony Trinitron televisions for projecting the image. Many systems were sold in the New Orleans area in the ensuing years before the first public demonstration of this integration occurred in 1982 at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago, Illinois. Peter Tribeman of NAD (USA) organized and presented a demonstration made possible by the collaborative effort of NAD, Proton, ADS, Lucasfilm and Dolby Labs who contributed their technologies to demonstrate what a home cinema would "look and sound" like.
Over the course of three days, retailers, manufacturers, and members of the consumer electronics press were exposed to the first "home like" experience of combining a high quality video source with multi-channel surround sound. That one demonstration is credited with being the impetus for developing what is now a multi-billion dollar business.

1990s

In the early to mid '90s, a typical Home Cinema would have a LaserDisc or VHS player fed to a large screen: rear projection for the more affordable setups, and LCD or CRT front projection in the more elaborate. In the late 1990s, the development of DVD-Video, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel audio, and high-quality front video projectors that provide a cinema experience at a price that rivals a big-screen HDTV which sparked a new wave of home cinema interest.

2000s

In the 2000s, developments such as high-definition video, Blu-ray Disc (as well as the now-obsolete HD DVD format) and newer high-definition 3D display technologies enabled people to enjoy a cinematic feeling in their own home at an affordable price. Newer lossless audio from Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio with more audio channels, like 6.1, 7.1, 9.1, 9.2, 10.2, and 22.2 were also introduced for more cinematic feeling.

Entertainment equipment standards

Noise Criteria (NC) are noise level guidelines applicable to cinema and home cinema. For this application, it is a measure of a room's ambient noise level at various frequencies. For example, in order for a theater to be THX certified, it must have an ambient sound level of NC-30 or less. This helps to retain the dynamic range of the system.
  • NC 40: Significant but not a dooming level of ambient noise; the highest "acceptable" ambient noise level. 40 decibels is the lower sound pressure level of normal talking; 60 being the highest.
  • NC 30: A good NC level; necessary for THX certification in cinemas.
  • NC 20: An excellent NC level; difficult to attain in large rooms and sought after for dedicated home cinema systems. For example, for a home cinema to be THX certified, it has to have a rating of NC 22.
  • NC 10: Virtually impossible noise criteria; 10 decibels is associated with the sound level of calm breathing.
