The 411 on Setting up Your Entertainment Center

Now honestly, most of us dont have a room in our home to dedicate to just a home theater system.  Mostly we will choose to put our home theater in our family room or living room, and honestly since this is a room that your family will spend a lot of time in whether viewing a movie or not, you want to have your home theater set up in such a way as to not take away from the comfort of the room.

Personally, I dont find it the least bit attractive to see all the wires and cables running from and to the different devices nor do I want to see speakers all around the room.  For some people they feel the need to display their components in such a way that everyone sees them as soon as they walk into the room, but for me this is just not a pleasing sight.

Speakers should be strategically set around the room, however you can get some high quality speakers that are relatively small and unobtrusive, and I actually mounted mine into the wall, with the wires running through the wall, so that no one can see them.  Sure you can see the vents that I installed to allow the sound to flow through, but I did it in such a way as to paint them over to blend in with the room dcor.

You can also mount your TV on the wall and have a shelf or center for your DVD player and other components.

If you use your family room for entertaining and parties or just family non TV time you can put everything away for that and then open it up when you are ready for entertainment on TV or a movie night.
