Home Theater Installation Tips

A home theatre system is designed for experiencing commercial theatre performance and feeling at home. The necessary equipment and components required for home theater installation should be purchased from the market. Pre-installation planning involves the availability of home theatre cables, corded power drill for extra power when needed in studs or masonry, stud finder for locating obstacles or mounting points, fish tape for running in-wall cables and wiring, cordless power drill for mobility for driving screws and bolts, leveler for essential TV wall mounting,LCDs, Plasma TVs and projection screens, electrical tape for marking studs and insulating wiring when needed, a UPS (battery back-up) to prevent sudden shut-off of home theatre components and spade/paddle drill bits for making holes for cabling.

After having all the necessary equipment, the distance between the components should be measured and the wires should not be kept either too long or too short. The plasma mounting. should be done at a proper height. The mounting of the projector should be free from any obstructions like air vent, smoke detector, ceiling fan or anything else that might be in the path of the projector. The screen and projector centerline should be properly aligned. CAT-5 and HDMI are speaker cables that should be attached to the corresponding locations in the home theatre. Using coaxial cables RG-6 for cable TV has better shielding for noise rejection and tends to work better for CATV and RG-59 cable for component video feed is better suited for the individual RGB (red, green and blue) carriers of a component video. Generally HDMI cable is recommended for running from the equipment to the projector, but CAT5 or CAT6 cable can also be used. CAT5 cable can be used for the screen and IR emitter. In order to reduce the twisting of metal studs and to give the mount a slightly firm foundation, a piece of plywood can be mounted on to the wall. This makes it easier for hitting the metal-studs with more screws and by cutting the plywood slightly taller than the mount, the load can be dispersed equally. For this purpose, pre-drilling of holes should be done before trying to sink a screw into the metal studs.
