Enjoy Your Dvd Home Theater System Experience
We all love to watch television, DVD’s and listen to music, but if you want a great picture with excellent digital sound, then you need to consider buying a DVD home theater system.
If you have ever wondered what the abbreviation DVD stands for, then you have to go back to the early format of a DVD, which was a digital videodisc. I guess this might makes a little more sense to you now! However, it’s not that straightforward today as the format has been extended to include computer-data storage and audio only discs, which lead to the initials standing for digital versatile disc. To make things more complicated this no longer applies and so a DVD is just that a DVD!
Putting all that technical information aside, it is good enough to understand that a DVD has the best picture quality possible to feed into a home theatre system. Its lines of resolution and picture quality far exceed those of VHS, laser discs, satellite or cable television.
The sound quality is amazing and your home movies are presented in full Dolby Digital sound from five discrete channels of surround sound from the front centre, front left and right and surround left and right. There is also a separate bass channel provided for subwoofers.
Although it’s best to buy a DVD home theatre system with a Dolby Digital recorder, it’s still possible to listen to high quality sound if you choose to buy one without. This is because you don’t need this type of receiver to enjoy full surround sound, but you will have to connect the outputs on you DVD player to the inputs on your television.
As well as great sound quality and picture, DVD’s have an enormous storage capacity and the discs have loads of extras. These can include:
- Deleted scenes
- Letterbox versions of the movie
- Foreign language versions
- Production notes
- Documentaries
- Commentaries on a second or third audio track
Most players allow you to access a disc menu from the remote control and you can use this to select which special features you want to use and you will also be able to select mono, stereo or DTS 5.1 or 6.1 according to your particular home theatre system.
These clever systems multi task and are backward compatible with CD’s and play both types of discs, which means you can discard your CD player. If you buy a really expensive unit, like Pioneer then it will also be able to play laserdisc as well as CD and DVD.
