dvd and home cinema

Any movie fan will tell you that a decent home cinema system make the enjoyment of films and tv so much greater. I first got into the 'hobby' about 15 years ago, when I first connected my VCR up to a Kenwood Stereo system to try and improve the sound I was getting from my 14" television! Since then I have evolved the system into what is now I think a pretty darn good home cinema system.

The challenge for me has always been to have a system that not only looks and sounds good, but also fits in with the environment it is in - I never wanted the system to dominate the room. Therefore most of the equipment is hidden away - a pull down projector screen, the dvd, amplifier and subwoofer are hidden away, and even the projector itself is hidden in a cupboard.

Without these self-imposed constraints it would have been easy, but without this compromise my wife probably wouldn't have let me have the system!!

If you are thinking about getting into the home cinema, make sure you visit the AV Forums for friendly help and advice, and DVD Home Cinema and Home Cinema Buyer for decent reviews and information.

You can of course also contact me if you want any info or help.
