All of us dream a good home theater system in our home. We are always ready to spend how much it needs to buy a good system. But spending quite a handful of money and buying branded products can't ensure a quality home theater system. You would have read a lot of articles and suggestions on this. But this article will draw your attention only to the most neglected problems that pose serious problems in long term.

Estimate system components according to the room size

At first you must decide in which room you are going to place your home theater system. Whether that particular room will be used solely for your system or for other purposes too. It will help you decide the size of your system components, like that of speakers. The most important but perhaps most neglected factor before buying a home theater system is to estimate the size of home theater system. The room shouldn't be considered as the place only for keeping the set but it is entirely a component of the home theater system, like any other electronics product.

It would be better to draw a map of the room on a sheet of paper and sketch the likely placement of the furniture and other room components. Measure the dimension of room and make a list of all the current commodities and also the inputs you are going to buy. You should also approximately estimate the size of cables and wires needed to connect the items. After finalizing all these info, you should take this map with you when you go out to buy new system.

A room with too many windows doesn't seem proper for fitting home theater system. Most of the televisions provide best picture quality in semi-lit room or in darker rooms. It is strongly suggested not to place the TV in the direction opposite to window. However you might use curtains to block the light but make it sure they are effective.

Don't neglect speakers

Most of us do a common mistake that we spend the maximum portion of our budget on video/audio components but neglect the speakers and sub-woofers. It ultimately led us to experience poor sound quality. You should give the speakers the same priority as to other parts. It is not required to spend a lot on speakers and woofers but go for those which can do well for you. A lot of choice available in the market can led you to confusion. What you should do that listen to speakers at the dealers shop before you buy. You can take your own CDs and listen to make a comparison in the sound quality.

Appropriate Size of TV

Though all of us desire to have a larger TV but its size should be proportional to the size of room. Buying a wrong size television that doesn't fit the room size tells your under-preparation. As mentioned earlier you must buy the components keeping the size of room in the mind. Viewing distance also make a difference and according to a general rule the minimum optimum viewing distance from the viewer to the TV screen should be about 2 - 2 1/2 times the width of the television screen.

Read the user manual properly

Again one of the most neglected factor is the avoidance of user manuals. Most of us start setting up the components without reading the user manual given with the system. We think we can do it and finally led to an array of problems. So it would always be nice to read all the instructions and suggestions before you start up.
