Setting Up Your Home Theatre

 

There are many ways to set up your home theatre and many choices to be made. The type of projection sceen you choose may depend on the room you are using. Are you planning a Dedicated Home Theatre Room? Or are you adding a Home Theatre to your multipurpose room, bedroom, living room or den? Consider the following options when setting up each type of room.

 

Dedicated Home Theatre

 

Clarion in a Home TheatreA dedicated home theatre, or media room is focused solely on the viewing experience. The room may be equipped with theatre seats, a popcorn machine, and even a marquee. Usually there are no windows, so light control is not a problem. The screen is generally left in position, so a fixed front projection screen, or a rear screen is ideal. For Dedicated Home Theatre rooms consider appearance, functionality and cost.

 

With a Fixed Screen, also referred to as a permanently tensioned screen, the surface of the screen is a flexible, unsupported vinyl surface that is stretched flat yielding undistorted picture quality.

 

A Rear Projection Screen where your projector sits behind the screen provides the best picture especially if there is concern with ambient light.

 

A Motorized or Electric Projection Screen is conveniently operated by remote control or wall switch

 

A Manual Screen may be less expensive, but has a limited selection. It is the easiest to install though, as no electrician is required.

 

For total flexibility try Multiple Screen Formats. The Access/MultiView is perfect. It contains a standard viewing surface in HDTV, WideScreen or Cinemascope format, and masking on an independently motorized roller to reduce the screen to standard HDTV or NTSC video formats.

 

Multipurpose Room

You might add a projection screen/projector combo to your den, your living room or family room. The main functionality and decor of the room can can be seamlessly maintained with Draper's innovative and stylish home theatre options.

 

Projection Screen/Projector Options: When you incorporate the home theatre into a multipurpose space, you have many options. The screen and projector in a multipurpose home theatre needs to disappear when not in use. This is easiest with a Motorized or Electric Projection Screen. Draper has Motorized or Electric Screens that are perfect for the multipurpose room. The projector can be easily hidden away until showtime with Draper's Projector Lifts.
