Oh My Gosh! Where Do I Begin? A few Tips on Setting up that Home Theater System Properly.
You just recently purchased a home theater system. Now comes the much anticipated time to put it together so you enjoy your new purchase. A lot of people do not look forward to this part of the job. They dread the part where they have to learn how to put it together. This can however be done easier then you think. So here are some tips to get you on your way.
First you must read the manual. Most people do not want to take the time to read the manual they want to try to do it themselves instead of wasting time reading. The fact of the matter is you can screw things up if you don't take the time to read it in advance. You could get lucky enough to get it to where it works but the simple point of the matter is it may never perform as well as it should because you left out a few steps white you installed it.
Make sure you always use the right gauge wire for the distance you are installing. For an example 100 feet you should keep it at 16 gauges, 200 feet 14 gauge. Anything more then that your best bet would be to use a 12 gauge wiring in order to get the best results possible.
It is important to remember to make sure the components that you are wiring are off. Whether, you are wiring one component to another or wiring a component to a speaker it is important to avoid any power loads that could occur so not to damage your new equipment. Not to mention avoiding a jolt to your body.
What you want to avoid is the mistake of not having enough cable and or wiring while wiring up your equipment. It is best to make sure you check the length of your cables between your components before you start to wire them. One of the worst things a person could do is not leave an enough breathing space for all of their equipment. You will see many time the mistake people make by stacking up their components like the receiver, DVD player, cable box etc. which only compounds the problem. So before you even lay out your system make sure you have enough space to get air flow between each component. This will allow your system to run more efficient, to last longer, and to perform better.
Hopefully these quick tips will allow you to set up your new home theater system properly. If you follow them, it will definitely save you time and decrease your frustrations allowing you to sit back, relax and enjoy that kicking new system.
