Ever since the first public exhibition of a motion picture over 100 years ago, people have been trying to recreate a their own "theater" experience at home. Today, audio / video technology has made great strides towards that goal. Lasers and optical discs have taken us far away from the celluloid reels of yesteryear. Binary technology is used to encode complete high-fidelity multi-channel audio tracks onto a single DVD disc. Along with the stunning picture that DVD provides; your new home theater can now accurately replicate the engrossing aural spectacle of your local theater, putting you in the middle of all the on screen excitement.
Basic Technology-
Television- Your home theater starts with the bigscreen. New widescreen models can show a picture that more closely resembles that of a movie theater. Not only are these displays better suited for movies, they are also shaped to show the pinnacle of digital broadcasts; high defintion. (see Digital and High Definition) Choosing the right display technology can be tricky. There are many different display types available on the market today including newer, flat panel displays like plasma and LCoS. Everyone at Jerry's is trained to understand the differences between each type of display and where it's strengths lie. We will help you in making the right decision so your investment will provide you with an excellent picture for years to come. From tube televisions to the newest lightweight plasma, Jerry's has your set.
Speakers- Bring on the bass. Now we can begin to choose your speakers. At a mimimum, a home theater requires 5 speakers and a subwoofer placed properly within the room. These speakers can range in size from small bookshelf models to large, floor standing towers. Depending on the size of the room and the volume desired, Jerry's system designers will make recommendations for your own specifically tailored system. We carry a full line of spectacular speakers designed to accentuate not only the sound of your theater but also the decor of your room. Stop by with your favorite DVD or CD and audition a set today.
Electronics- A home theater just wouldn't be complete without a multi-channel receiver and a DVD player. This combination alone is usually enough to get you off to a great start in the realm of home theater, but if you want more, we've got it. Jerry's carries a full line of preamplifier/processors and power amplifiers, not to mention a large selection of CD/DVD players ranging from entry level up to videophile grade.
