The Sony Guide to Home Theater 3 What is Home Theater? Think of what makes movies in a theater so compelling. Consider the giant screen, teeming with brilliantly detailed, vivid color pictures. Think of the sound, sometimes booming with explosions, sometimes delicately whispering and always immersing you in a full 360-degree experience. At the movies, these elements can come together with astonishing emotional force. Home theater is the technology that brings this experience into your room. And there's never been a better time to make your move. Compared to the systems of just a few years ago, today's home theaters enjoy far greater realism, drama and impact. Today you can benefit from recent breakthroughs in electronics such as progressive scan DVD players, flat-panel televisions and Dolby Digital® surround sound. What's more, packaged systems make assembling a home theater easier than you ever thought possible. So if you've been on the outside of home theater, now is the time to jump in. And if your home theater is a few years old, now is the time to upgrade.
