Common Mistakes in a Home Theater

Here is a list of common mistakes made when creating a Home Theater.

1. Not Soundproofing the room.
• Don't annoy the neighbors!
• Your sound quality will be drastically better.
2. Not optimizing your components with a test disk.
• TVs are set up to look good in Best Buy, Costco, etc. in order to make you buy them
3. Not having a Universal Remote for all of your components.
4. Not realizing that resolution is more important than screen size.
• See my post on the Difference Between Screen Resolution
5. Not buying a receiver that you can grow into.
6. Putting all emphasis on the TV and neglecting the audio or visa verca.
7.  Buying by price and not by what you want or need.
