What is the difference and benefits of digital, and high definition televisions? | ||||||||
|
Digital TVs (720p) have a
higher quality picture than regular analog TVs(480i) and high definition
TVs(1080i and 1080p) have 200% better picture quality. Both types have upgraded
video connections including component video(RGB) and now firewire (IEEE 1394) for
better quality and greater adaptability. |

|
How many speakers do I need to make "surround sound" work? | ||||||||
|
As a minimum, 6 speakers
are needed. However we recommend 8 for Dolby 5.1 and 8 - 12 for
Dolby EX. |

|
|
Where do I want to place my speakers for the best surround sound effects? | ||||||||
|
Placement is not as
critical as it has been in the past. In general, the center speaker
should be above the TV, front left and right, with a subwoofer
usually behind the seating. In the back, left and right are a must
and 1 or 2 center speakers are optional. Also optional are side
left and right speakers. |
|||||||||
|
|
There is a large difference in the price range of speakers, what's the difference? | ||||||||
|
The higher priced
speakers give you a greater range of tonal quality, sound frequency,
power output, and the capability to more accurately reproduce the
recording. |

I am building a new home and I am interested in having it pre-wired. When do you need to start? | ||||||||
|
We would like to sit
down with you and discuss it with you during or before the framing stage.
Our installation team will be onsite roughly about the time the electrician is about done. |

|
|
Why should I use the more expensive wire? | ||||||||
|
The more expensive wire
will produce better quality output and will provide you with a
better sounding system. The larger wire, is oxygen free to prevent
tarnishing and big enough to carry the signals without loss of sound
frequency or power. |

|
When should I upgrade my equipment? | ||||||||
|
Upgrading your equipment
is really up to you. You should upgrade when your equipment no
longer meets your needs or to take advantage of new technology. The
manufacturers commonly discontinue parts for models 5 to 7 years
old. |
