10 Mistakes Hooking Up Home Theater

31 October, 2022 by Admin

When you had finished installing your new home cinema system, you noticed that something didn't sound quite right. Is there anything you could have done better? There are a wide variety of faults that might occur, from minor problems to ones that could lead to the early failure of a device.

When putting up an audio or audio/video system, it's critical that all of the components, including the space itself, function in harmony with one another in order to maximize efficiency. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and just purchasing high-quality equipment isn't enough. In spite of the fact that certain audio/TV rooms have inherent compromises, some faults are terrible.

As a result of this, I've compiled a list of the 10 Mistakes Hooking Up Home Theater scenario.

Buying the wrong speaker cables

That 50-foot run from your surround sound speakers' AV receivers isn't going to be possible with just some leftover 24-gauge cable, so you'll need a more costly cable for that purpose.

This is why, in a nutshell: There is resistance in every cable. Because we're discussing electrical resistance, it seems a bit backwards. The more resistance a cable has, the thinner it is. This is by far the most important, however there are others. The frequency response that may be achieved at the end of a cable run decreases as the resistance of the cable increases. When driving two speakers, the amount of load the amplifier needs to handle varies with frequency. You may affect the sound, especially at higher frequencies, if you use too-thin wires to provide resistance.

Connecting a home theater system is easy with 16 gauge wire, but if your runs are going to be longer than 40-50 feet, you'll get better sound quality with 12 gauge cable since it has less resistance and won't act as a sound equalizer. A multi-zone audio system should be rethought if the wires need to be run further than 50-60 feet.

As they didn't include them when they purchased their speakers, many end up buying the most costly cables at the last minute. In the sense that your system would not function without them, interconnect cables are critical components. Battery-powered HDMI cables or gold-plated RCA cords won't improve the sound quality of your system.

For a three-foot cable run between a DISH satellite receiver and an AV player, you're unlikely to have any problems if the cable is adequately manufactured. No issues or loss of frequency response will occur because of the little distance. Digital HDMI wires are the same. Over ten feet is where the difficulty lies. Avoid overpaying by planning ahead and keeping things simple.

Buying the Wrong Size Television

The average screen size bought by customers is currently 55-inches, which means that a lot of bigger screen sets are making their way into many homes. It is not always preferable to have a huge television in a room with a limited amount of space to see it from.

A viewing distance of 1-1/2 to 2 times the width of the screen is ideal for HDTVs with 720p and 1080p resolution.

For a 55-inch television, this implies you should be 6 to 8 feet away from the screen. There is a larger probability that you will see the line or pixel structure of the picture, as well as any processing abnormalities, if you sit too near to a TV screen (but you won't hurt your eyes).

With today's 4K Ultra HD TV trend, you can now have a better viewing experience at tighter sitting distances than previously advised. A 55-inch 4K Ultra HD TV, for example, allows you to sit as close as 5 feet from it.

4K Ultra HD TVs may have a closer viewing distance since the screen's pixels are smaller in comparison to the screen's size, making the structure of the screen less obvious (perhaps as close as just a little over one times the screen width).

Buying a TV that's too tiny is another common blunder. If the TV is too tiny or you sit too far away, the experience of watching TV becomes more like seeing through a little window. For a satisfying 3D viewing experience, a screen has to encompass as much of your front field of vision as possible, without being so huge that you notice the screen's pixel structure or unattractive artifacts. This is particularly true if you are contemplating a 3D TV.

Take a look in the room where the TV will be put before deciding on a screen size. Take note of the available space in terms of width and height, as well as the sitting distances from the TV screen.

Once you've recorded your dimensions, you'll need to bring your tape measure to the shop as well. When shopping for a new television, make careful to see it from a variety of angles and distances (based on your own dimensions) to decide the best and worst places to place it in your home.

Your TV size selection should be based on the mix of your personal preferences and the amount of space that you have available.

It is one of the most common reasons for returning a television because it is either too large or too tiny for the room it is intended for.

To get the greatest TV for your needs, you must first decide on the size of the screen you want to use.

Buying Wrong HDMI Cables

The "any old HDMI cable will do" mindset has been banished courtesy to the geniuses at HDMI Licensing. It was possible to use any HDMI cable up to 20 feet in length when it only supported 1080p video and audio.

Integrated Ethernet and 4K capability are now available. The HDMI cables you purchase today should be able to withstand the "next big thing" in the future, if you're planning ahead. Cables installed in the wall or crawl space, where they can't be improved or removed, are a particular problem. In the long run, you'll thank yourself for paying attention to HDMI cable labeling. Always purchase "High Speed" HDMI cables as a starting point, as they are more likely to have the most up-to-date design and so support the majority of the most recent features.

If you don’t know what’s available in HDMI, here are the basic features:

HDMI Ethernet Channel

High-speed bidirectional communication is made possible by the addition of a data channel to the original HDMI connection. Internet-enabled HDMI devices may share an Internet connection over the HDMI link, without the need for a separate Ethernet cable, as long as the connected devices have this functionality. It also serves as a connecting platform for HDMI-enabled components, allowing them to transfer data back and forth between them.

Audio Return Channel

This is a genuine audio channel that allows a TV to transmit audio upstream to the A/V receiver through the HDMI connection from either a built-in tuner or DVD player A second cable is no longer required (or AV receiver input connection).

3D

Cabling must be capable of handling 3D formats and resolutions up to dual 1080p for HDMI-enabled devices.

4K Resolution Support

Compared to a conventional 1080p transmission, these new ultra-high HD resolutions provide a fourfold increase in detail. HDMI resolutions up to and including 4K are supported by these cables.

There is a catch with HDMI cables: certification does not indicate that all possible cable lengths have been examined. However, we've seen too many cases when longer cables exist on the market, and they simply don't do the job.

It's Best to Use Active HDMI Cables for Longevity and Future-Proofing

Modern active HDMI cables include a chip that is powered by the HDMI connector's 5V power supply. Long-distance degradation of digital signals may be compensated for using these "smart" connections. Remember that HDMI can deliver billions of bits of data each second. That's a LOT of information that may easily be messed up. When it gets out of whack, you don't receive a picture anymore.

In most cases, active HDMI cables eliminate this issue and allow you to use the format at previously unimaginable distances. Active cables' costs are also falling as the chipsets within them become more affordable to produce. In order to get 1080p video over a regular high-speed connection, you'll need to run the line no longer than 25 feet. To extend a line longer than 15 feet and with 4K in mind, an active HDMI cable should be considered.

Ignoring room acoustics

It's hard to believe that you can hear a $2,000 difference in speaker wire and interconnects when half of what hits your ears is reflected due of your room acoustics. Hard surfaces such as hardwood floors should be avoided. If you're utilizing hardwood floors, you'll want to use absorption to reduce reflections.

First-reflection-killing acoustic panels are optional, and their placement is dependent on the room's liveliness and the off-axis qualities of the speakers themselves. Direct sound is preferable than reflected, muddled, and incoherent sound because it is easier on the hearing. After clapping my hands hard once in the sound room, I'll be ready to go.

This will help me get a sense of how loud the room is.  Clap your hands and listen for lengthy decay, slap echo, or flutter echo. Fast, repeating flutter echo is created by hard opposing parallel surfaces, while the sound of slap echo occurs when a hard object is struck by another object. It's important to get rid of flutter and slap, but at least get rid of the decay.

First Reflections

If your loudspeakers perform properly off-axis, absorption of the initial lateral reflection is not necessary. Most individuals, according to Dr. Floyd Toole's studies, like the extra openness that comes with not receiving the early reflections. It is possible to get a better center phantom picture for two-channel listening by using early reflections to fill in the large frequency response hole. Mixers recognized that a powerful straight sound field made their work simpler, hence the notion for eliminating early lateral reflections was born. Mastering engineers like to listen in more reflecting locations, according to a new JAES article, which backs up the previous statement about their listening preferences. That's great, since that's where customers are most likely to pay attention.

A minimum of three inches of fiberglass or solid (not sculpted) foam is required to "eliminate initial reflections," as the term suggests. The lower the treble, the worse the quality of the sound.

The "THX Clap" Test

It's better to have one person stand next to the speaker and clap their hands while you sit in front of the speaker and listen for fluttering or slap echo. People sitting in the crowd are the only ones who can hear the flutter echoes from the loudspeakers. It doesn't matter whether you can hear yourself talking in other parts of the room.

How reverberant is the room? The litmus test is the ability to understand what is being said. Move about the room and have a chat with the person speaking from the dialog's center channel position. You're done if it works. In the event that this is not the case, consider adding some absorption or scattering.

The Room Has Windows and/Or Other Light Issues

A dimly lit room is adequate for most TVs, but video projectors in particular benefit from a darker setting. In no way, shape, or form should you mount your television on a wall directly across from a window. To prevent light from leaking into the room while the curtains are closed, make sure they are completely opaque.

Also keep in mind the TV's screen surface. TVs with matte or anti-reflective surfaces reduce glare from windows, lights, and other light sources, while those with a glass-like covering on the screen panel shield the LCD, Plasma, or OLED display from accidental damage. Glass with an additional layer or coating may reflect light, which can be distracting in a setting with other light sources.

Curved-screen TVs, when placed in a room with windows or other uncontrolled sources of light, may cause unwanted light reflections as well as alter the form of those reflections, both of which are aggravating.

In a highly lit retail area, stand in front of and off to the side of the screen to notice how the TV responds to the light.

It's also a good idea to check out the TVs in the store's darkened display room to see how they seem. It's important to remember that merchants often use "Vivid" or "Torch Mode" on their TVs, which enhances the color and contrast of the image, but this doesn't eliminate the possibility of light reflection issues.

Objects in front of speakers or poorly placed speakers

Moving that ficus tree will allow the speaker to be heard. In any case, it doesn't care about your Night Ranger and Whitesnake songs. Another typical blunder is to place a low table immediately in front of the chairs, blocking the view of the speakers from the listening position. However, it's a terrible location for music or conversation. It's difficult to concentrate and hear clearly because of the combination of direct sound from your speakers and reflected (delayed somewhat) sound off of the table.

There's nothing worse than having a center speaker beneath a screen with the second row of seats elevated, as discussed in a recent post regarding optimum front LCR speaker placement. The speaker's height should be adjusted to the audience's position. The tweeters in your front channel should be placed at or near sitting ear level.

To eliminate diffraction, speakers on shelves must be moved out to the front edge of the shelf. Foam or other acoustical dampening material must be used around speakers in shelving units to prevent a hollow, resonant sound.

You're going to get the bug for surround sound as soon as you start using it. You also want to be able to easily update your system when the time comes. This requires some forethought on your part. Often, this is only a matter of purchasing equipment that can be upgraded. If you don't use a Bose system or anything else with proprietary connections via the subwoofer, you should be able to upgrade most AV receivers and speakers with a regular AV receiver with speaker level outputs and connectors.

In many cases, ensuring that your surround sound speakers are correctly installed is another important step in upgrading your system. Regardless of whether you're using in-ceiling or on-wall or stand-mounted surround speakers, I don't care what you do. You can ultimately update them with just a small amount of work if you connect them correctly and carefully. Instead of putting the wire through an opening in the wall and attaching it to a speaker, it could be better to use normal speaker binding posts instead. If you're building a house, you may want to install Surround Back speakers even if you don't intend to utilize them right immediately. Making preparations in advance may save you a great lot of time and effort in the days and weeks to come.

Buying The Wrong Speakers

A substantial sum is spent on audio/video components, but not enough consideration is given to the quality of the loudspeakers and subwoofer. This does not imply that you must spend hundreds of dollars on a small system, but it does suggest that you consider speakers that are capable of doing the job.

Speakers are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from large floor-standing models to small bookshelf models, as well as both box and spherical designs — and, of course, a subwoofer is required for home cinema use.

Tiny cube speakers may be fashionable, but they will not be able to fill a big room with high-quality music because they simply cannot move enough air. Large floor-standing speakers, on the other hand, may not be the greatest choice for a small area since they just take up too much space for your personal preference or physical comfort.

In the case of a medium- or large-sized room, a set of floor-standing speakers may be the ideal choice since they often provide a complete spectrum of sound and have huge drivers that can move enough air to fill the space. As an alternative, if you have a limited amount of available space, a pair of bookshelf speakers in conjunction with a subwoofer may be the ideal solution to your needs.

If you are using floor-standing speakers or bookshelf speakers for your home theater, or if you are using a combination of both, you will also need a center channel speaker that can be placed above or below a television or video projection screen, and you will also need a subwoofer for those low-frequency effects.

While making any speaker purchasing selections, you should sample to a few at a dealer (or take advantage of a longer test time from online-only vendors) before making your final pick. Make your own comparisons, and bring your own CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs so that you can hear how they sound when played via different speakers.

Although sound quality should be your first consideration, you should also consider the size of the speakers, how they will seem in your home, and how much money you have to spend.

Unbalanced Speaker Levels

You've set up the speakers, connected them, and turned them on, but nothing sounds right; the subwoofer fills the room, and the dialogue is drowned out by the music. The sound in the surrounds isn't loud enough.

Get rid of any obstructions between your speakers and your listening location. Also, avoid placing your speakers behind an entertainment center's door.

With a soundmeter and CD, DVD, or Blu-ray discs that have test tones available, or a test tone generator built-in to most home theater receivers, you can balance them.

Setup programs on most home theater receivers make it easy to match your speakers' capabilities to the features of your environment. Anthem Room Correction, Audyssey, Onkyo/Integra AccuEQ, Sony Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, Pioneer MCACC, and Yamaha Digital Cinema Auto Calibration are just a few of the many names for these tools (YPAO).

These systems employ a built-in test tone generator in the receiver and a given microphone to identify the size and distance of the speakers from the primary listening location, and then use that information to help modify the sound output level of each speaker, including the subwoofer.

Despite the fact that none of these solutions are perfect, they assist to reduce the guesswork of balancing the sound that comes out of your speakers with the surrounding setting. The majority of the time, you have the option to further customize your listening experience by making manual adjustments.

Not reading the user manuals and buying things based on brand or price instead of what you really want

No, I don't believe you can figure it out. Always read the owner's instructions for your components, no matter how simple they seem, even before you take them out of their packaging. Before you begin connecting and configuring anything, be sure you understand how everything works.

The on-screen menu system of many TVs now includes a user handbook (sometimes referred to as an E-manual) that can be accessed through the TV's on-screen menu. It's also common for manufacturers to give access to their official product or support website to browse or download a complete printed or on-screen user manual.

In spite of the fact that it's helpful to start with a well-known brand, it doesn't mean the "best" brand for a certain item is perfect for you. Consider a wide range of brands, models, and prices while you're purchasing.

In addition, be clear of deals that seem too good to be true. For the most part, high-priced items aren't going to live up to expectations in terms of performance or flexibility, regardless of whether or not they're advertised as "doorbusters." Ads should be carefully read.

Not Getting Professional Help When You Need It

There is still a problem even after you have connected everything, adjusted the sound settings, and utilized high-quality connections. In addition to the poor sound, the television also seems to be in poor condition.

Before you get into a panic, check to see whether you've forgotten anything or if there's anything you can fix by yourself.

If you can't figure out what's wrong, you may want to consider hiring a professional installation. Investing in a house call, even if it costs $100 or more, may save a home theater catastrophe and convert it into home theatre gold.

A home theater installer should always be consulted if you are contemplating a bespoke installation. Depending on your needs and budget, a home theater installation may give a comprehensive component package that includes everything you need to enjoy your favorite movies and music.

Final Thoughts

If you follow these tips, you should be able to start making your own home theater. You're already on the right track if you don't make any of these 10 mistakes. These tips are for people who want to build their own home theaters, but don't be afraid to ask for help if you assume you need it. The extra money you spend on good advice is worth it for a fully functional home theater and peace of mind.

With these suggestions, you can design a home theater you'll love for years to come, even if you live in an apartment.

FAQs

What is the best way to hook up surround sound?

In order to get the best sound, you should put the front left and right speakers at a 22-30-degree angle. The subwoofer should be on the floor on either side of your screen. There are two front stereo channels, and you want them to be about two to three feet from the wall.

What is needed for surround sound?

It's important to have two to three speakers in front of you and two to three speakers on your sides or behind you if you want to have a good surround-sound system. The audio signal is broken up into many different channels so that different sound information comes out of each speaker. The most important sounds come from the speakers in the front of the room.

Do you need a receiver and amplifier?

A lot of the time, no. When you buy an A/V receiver, it comes with a built-in speaker. If you have an A/V receiver, you can get an audio signal, process it, send it to the speakers, and let the video go through to a TV or projector.

Equalizer Settings for Clear Voice on TV
There are equalizer settings that you can change if you have a TV. You can get the most out of your TV speakers by doing this. Setting the equalizer correctly helps you get the sound you want from your TV speakers. A single TV setting isn't good for everything you watch, but if you only watch the same thing every day, like talk shows, dramas, or movies, it's fine. People who want to listen to different types of sounds have different needs for their equalizers. For example, if you watch talk shows on TV, it is important to be able to hear what is being said. There is very little bass when you use built-in TV speakers. You can't enjoy movies or music much because there isn't a lot of it. After you learn a few things, you'll be able to figure out which settings work best for you. What Is TV Dialogue? The dialogue on the soundtrack of a TV show refers to the sounds that people make when they watch. People say things. TV shows and movies often have this as the most important part. Of course, when it comes to music videos, the music takes priority. But for most movies, documentaries, dramas, current events, and so on, the most important thing is the voice. You won't enjoy your show very much if you can't hear the words very well. Read: How to Reset Vizio TV Without Remote Why Does the Voice on My TV Sound so Unclear? It's important for you to know that there could be many reasons why the dialogue in a TV show isn't clear on your TV. These can be anything from: Too much music and sound effects are going on at the same time as the talk. People who are talking don't speak very well at all. When you watch TV, the speaker on your TV is not very good. The place where you put your TV might make it hard to hear the sound from the speakers. In your room, the acoustics might make some frequencies stand out more than others. It is possible that some shows will be mixed and broadcast in 5.1 surround sound, which has more sound. On your stereo TV speakers, this will automatically be mixed down to stereo. This can make the soundtrack look crowded or unbalanced. In some cases, some parts of the soundtrack might not be there at all. This is why it can be hard to come up with a single answer to this problem. Your problem might be one of those things, and you should talk to someone about it. All of them might also work together. That's a hard one to solve. In this case, you can only contact the actors on social media and ask them to speak a little clearer, but there's not much else you can do about it. Most of the other problems, on the other hand, there are a few things you can do to make them better. And if the dialogue is more clear, then the actor's performance might work better for you too, because you will be able to understand it better. Some of the solutions will just be to change a few settings on your TV's sound menu. Then, some people might ask you to spend money. If you can't figure out how to solve your problem, you should know about Equalizer setting. Read: Best Way to Fix Slow Wi-Fi Connection of Vizio TV What’s an Equalizer (EQ)? An equalizer is a piece of hardware that lets you change the sound quality by boosting or cutting certain frequency ranges. A lot of the time, it works with frequency range between 20Hz and 20,000Hz, which are the frequencies that humans can theoretically hear. In reality, our range could be limited by age and other things. A few decades ago, equalizers had all been controlled by a physical console where you could move up and down levers to change your settings. Now, because most audio is now consumed digitally, equalizers have been built into most devices like computers and smartphones so that you can change your audio settings as well as get the most from your speakers. If you have a stereo sound system, Blu-Ray player or smart TV that has an equalizer, you can also find them in most of these things as well. Read: How To Use Hisense Tv Without Remote Types of Sounds You Want to Hear People mostly watch dramas and discussion programs, although they may also listen to music, play video games, or see films. The equalizer settings for each of these sounds will be different. To get a full, resonant sound, we rely on deep, punchy bass. Because of the same conditions, it may be impossible to hear another word of what is being said on a talk show. We've made it easy for you to adjust your TV's equalization based on the sounds you wish to hear. What You Should Know About Equalizers: Understanding Common EQ Terms Make sure you know what you're doing before messing around with the EQ settings. There are multiple sliders with labels that regulate various aspects of sound, and you'll need to be acquainted with certain technical vocabulary. When using a digital equalization, you'll come across many audio terms. Read: How to Connect External Speakers to TV without Audio Output? Frequency Sound waves vibrate at a certain frequency during a specific time period, without delving into the technical details of how this is defined. As the diaphragm of a speaker swings back and forth, it creates vibrations in the air that are picked up by our ears and turned into sound. The number of complete vibration cycles per second is expressed as a unit of frequency, which is expressed in Hertz. The greater the frequency and, therefore, the higher the pitch (notes), the more often the cycles are completed every second. Low-frequency notes include bass and sub-bass, whilst mid- and high-frequency notes include mids and highs. Low-frequency sounds need larger speakers because they require more power, but high-frequency sounds demand smaller speakers because they require less power. Frequency Spectrum/Range The range of frequencies audible to the human ear is known as the frequency spectrum. It's true that our ears can't hear the whole 20Hz-20kHz range, but an equalizer can help us increase the frequencies we like and remove the ones we don't. The center frequency and the bandwidth are both controlled by each EQ slider. Each slider has its own center frequency, which is represented by the center frequency beneath each slider. An alternative metric for comparing slider response is bandwidth, which depicts the frequency range across which each slider may be moved. Each slider's bandwidth demonstrates the fineness or quality of the frequency adjustment. Quality control is better in a smaller range (narrow bandwidth) than in a larger range (wide bandwidth) (broad bandwidth). Digital equalizers have better control over sound quality than, say, the bass or treble dials on a vehicle radio. The frequency ranges of digital equalizers are shown below: 20 Hz-60 Hz: The first EQ slider on the left has a frequency range of 20 Hz-60 Hz. You'll need a high-quality subwoofer or a set of high-end in-ear monitors to hear it. There are just sub-bass and kick drum sounds in this area. 60 Hz-200 Hz: Most speakers and subwoofers have a low frequency range of 60 Hz to 200 Hz that may be heard. Bass drums and other low-frequency instruments are, as always, essential components of any musical ensemble. 200 Hz-600 Hz: Mid-range frequencies between 200 Hz and 600 Hz fall within this frequency range. Guitars and pianos are among the most common low-end musical instruments that may be heard in this frequency range. Low-frequency voices and bass instrumentation are also present. 600 Hz-3,000 Hz: We've arrived at the midpoint of the frequency spectrum. This is the frequency range in which the majority of people can most readily discern vocals and the majority of musical instruments, such as guitars and snare drums. There are sliders here that allow you to alter the "nasal" tone of your music (the voice you make when talking while holding your nose). 3,000 Hz-8,000 Hz: Upper midrange cymbal and hi-hat frequencies span from around 3,000 Hz to 8,000 Hz in this spectrum. Music may sound fantastic if it's properly tuned, but it can also spoil the atmosphere if it isn't. Upper-range instruments such as violins, synthesizers, pianos, and other piano-like instruments are used in this track. In addition, the majority of the information in most voices is contained within this range. 8,000 Hz and above: Humans can theoretically hear frequencies up to 20 kHz in this range, making it the very top end of human audibility. It is possible to get a "sizzly" impression by using sliders in this frequency range. Decibels The frequencies and sound decibels may be adjusted using the EQ sliders, which have positive and negative values on either end. As a general rule, the loudness or volume level of a frequency may be altered by moving the sliders to the left or right. Each frequency's loudness may be increased or decreased by swiping on either side of a slider. Using equalizers may be tricky because of their sensitivity. It's best to make little changes gently so as not to cause any unintended damage. Filters With the use of filters, you may fine-tune the boosted or cut frequencies. In order to reduce the excessive highs and lows, they either raise, attenuate, or pass a specified frequency range. When you use filters, the slider's exaggeration on the frequencies is eliminated, keeping the spectrum within your desired range. Low-pass and high-pass filters, for example, may be used to reduce low-frequency or high-frequency noises. Band-pass filters, on the other hand, limit the frequency range in which sounds may be heard by attenuating anything outside that range. Equalizer Settings If your TV has a Graphic Equalizer, you can change the sound to make it sound the way you want it to. Increase or decrease each frequency from a set range to get the sound you want. This helps to change the sound as you want. Open up the equalizer, and when you do, all the frequencies will be at 0%. Then you can start to boost or cut them. It's not a good idea to boost any frequency because it will make the sound too loud. In order to hear the other person, it's better to lower one of them so that it sounds like it did before. With dramas and talk shows, we want to hear the words clearly, and this can be done by cutting the bass. Bass is loud when things don't sound clear. Bass is a term for low frequencies that are below 250 Hz, which is what bass is. When you are setting up your equalizer, cut out the low frequencies (>250Hz) and see if the sound gets better. If you don't like the sound, try increasing the high frequencies a little. Do not raise the high frequencies too much, because it will make the sound sound out of balance and make it sound bad. As a first step, lower the lower frequencies. Don't go all the way down because it can also make things sound out of whack. Then, raise the highs a little more. There are many ways to get what you want. When you become an expert in equalization, you will be able to change sounds in a matter of seconds when you need to. Trust your ears when setting the EQ. And you'll keep making small changes until you get to where you want to be. The "Flat" level of the equalizer is a good place to start when you want to make sure that the audio quality is as good as it was when the equalizer was set to its lowest setting. To get your EQ-tuning journey off to a good start, here are the changes we found to improve the sound of different types of audio. Besides that, we also have a list of the best settings for different types of audio. Best equalizer settings for Music We know what kind of music you like and what kind of sound you like best. Everyone does, of course. The kind of music you're listening to has a major influence on the optimum equalization settings you may use. In fact, presets were made to help you figure out where to start with most types of music. Most presets sound good even if you don't change anything. For any type of music, you need to change the frequencies at which most of its instruments and vocals are found in order to get good EQ settings for it. And, of course, you should pay more attention to how they sound to your ears. Boost the lows to your favorite level if you like bass or dance music. Then lower the highs so the bass is more prominent. Keep the mid-ranges as-is or make only minor adjustments to preserve the sound's clarity. On the other hand, if you like high-pitched music like Classical, lower the bass and mid-ranges a little to make the music clearer and use a low-pass filter to keep the highs in check. The following are some tips for setting up your equalizer based on the type of music you play: Acoustic music The bass, mid-ranges, and highs should be raised a little to keep the instruments as well as vocals as clear as possible, but not so much that they sound out of place. Electronic music Here, the bass is very important, and since vocals aren't the main thing, you can boost the high ranges a little. Piano and classical music Most of the instruments used in these types of music are pianos, acoustic guitars, violins, and a full orchestra. In this case, the last thing you need to do is make too many changes to any frequency range, which will make the sound less clear. A little bit: Make sure the lows, middle, and highs all sound about the same volume. Pop music For people who like pop, the goal is to keep the vocals or mid-ranges as clear as possible. Do not forget about the low-mid and high-mid. Rock music Here, boost the low and high frequencies so you can get as much detail from the electric guitars as possible, while keeping the middle frequencies as low as possible so you don't lose any of the sound. Best equalizer settings for Games Is there a chance that you aren't hearing game sounds coming from your TV? Most of the sound in computer games comes from speakers that are connected to the computer. However, there is a way to play through LED TV speakers. In games, we need also bass. High frequencies are also required for some types of games, but they aren't as important as bass. For fast-paced games, setting a higher value for high frequency makes for a great experience. In games that make us feel better, we need a lot of bass. So way to set a higher value for low-frequencies can have great results. Finally, it all comes down to what you like and what kind of game you are trying to play. You can change the sounds to fit your needs. Best Equalizer Settings for Movies You can't separate deep bass sound effects from movies, but you can change the EQ to make the vocals and music louder and less likely to shake your speakers. It's still possible that some people will like the movie's sound better if it was changed a little. In that case, you should boost the lows and cut back on the highs and the upper midranges. To get the best results, a little bit raise the lows and highs till the EQ curve looks like a smile. If the dialogue isn't clear, you might want to cut the lows and highs a little and gradually raise the mids until you're pleased with the quality. It's a good idea to keep any changes as slow and gradual as possible to avoid distortion or going to burst your speakers. Best Equalizer Settings For Bass Some folks question how to get the finest possible bass sound using an equalizer even if bass music isn't a genre in and of itself. Sub-bass (20 Hz to 60 Hz) and mid-bass (60 Hz to 250 Hz) frequencies may be distinguished in the bass range. With headphones and speakers, the sub-bass or mid-bass is often more prominent, allowing you to fine-tune the sound to suit your tastes using an equalizer. Dialup the frequencies from to get a better sub-bass performance (20 Hz to 60 Hz). Similarly, if you like mid-bass performance, increase the frequency range from 60 Hz to 250 Hz. Both of these ranges may subtract from higher frequencies and create the sound 'boomier', thus care must be taken. But when done correctly, EQing bass frequencies may be a formidable weapon that lifts a headphone or speaker to new heights. Best Equalizer Settings for Podcasts and Audiobooks To get the best sound for your podcasts as well as audiobooks, focus on changing the EQ so that human speech sounds the best. When people speak differently because of their gender, age, & tone changes, it can be hard to figure out what to say. According to our research, you should aim for a frequency of 125 Hz for adult male speakers, 200 Hz for adult female speakers, and anything from 250 Hz to 400 Hz for youngsters. Rather than directly boosting the frequencies you want to boost, you should try to drown out as many of the other frequencies you don't want to boost as much as possible instead. Final Thoughts The ideal listening experience is very personal and changes based on the sound type, the audio equipment, and the environment. A skill called EQ tuning would never be the same after you learn how to do it. Because different things will change, you'll have to make changes to your equalizer settings as often as you need to. If this guide has helped you become a master at shaping your sound quality, we hope it has helped you a lot! FAQs well, this faq is here to solve some of your problems regarding equalizer settings. How do you fix very low dialogue but very loud sound effects on TV? One way to do this is to turn up the general volume so that you can hear the loud sounds in the movie or TV show (like explosions, gunfights, and so on) at a level that is comfortable for you. Then, you can individually adjust the center channel so that the dialogue is also loud enough for you. What are the best TV equalizer settings for dialogue? From 2 kHz to 6 kHz, you can find the clarity of a voice. It should help to make the dialogue more loud and clear. How do I adjust my TV sound to hear voices? A setting called "Dynamic Range Compression" might be in the audio section. You might also see it called "Dynamic Range Control." A high or a maximum setting might be better for this. If your TV has this feature, setting it to its top level will make the loudest and quietest sounds sound the same. This will make the range of volume more even. Why can’t I hear the dialogue on my TV? In your TV's audio menu, look at all of the settings and make sure they are correct. Some options, like "night mode," make the sound flat and are not good for talking about things, like movies or books. Also, surround sound might not work well for your movie or TV show. For a simple fix, confirm to see if your TV seems to have pre-sets to improve dialogue, like Clear Voice, that can help

Terms and Terminology of Home Theater
Your old TV isn't good enough to watch movies, TV shows, or sports events on anymore. You wish you could do more with the media you have at home. Home theater words can be hard to understand. If you've ever been around a home theater expert, you may have felt like you didn't know as much as they did. It all depends on how you talk about things. I'll teach you how to talk like a pro about home entertainment systems. To start, you should just get familiar with the main ideas. The parts of any good home theater system will be easy to recognize. This setup includes a video source, a receiver, surge protectors, a sound system, cables, and screens. In the sections that follow, each of these topics will be looked at in more depth. 4K resolution 4K resolution means that there are about 4,000 pixels across the width of the screen. Several different 4K resolutions are often used in digital television and digital filmmaking. The most common 4K standard for TV and consumer media is 3840 2160. The movie projection industry, on the other hand, uses 4096 2160. Active Subwoofer A subwoofer with an amplifier built right into it. This form of subwoofer should get a line-level preamp signal from an AV receiver. This means that the signal hasn't been amplified yet. Then, the subwoofer amplifies the sound signal and sends it to the speaker. Active subwoofers usually have basic volume and equalization controls on the unit that let you change the output volume and tone. Most subwoofers made for home theater use will be active. A passive subwoofer, which is less common, is the other choice. Amplifier A loudspeaker or subwoofer needs an amplifier to get power. It takes low-voltage (line level) audio (usually less than 2 Vrms) and sends it out with enough power to power a loudspeaker. An amplifier can be a part of an A/V receiver, a stand-alone product, or it can be made correctly into a subwoofer or speaker cabinet. Aspect Ratio The aspect ratio tells us how a TV picture looks. When you divide the width of an image by its height, you get its aspect ratio. For example, the shape of a TV picture is usually 4:3. This means that there are four units across and three units down. When you divide 4 by 3, you get 1.33. So, a 4:3 image has an aspect ratio of 1.33:1, which means it is 1.33 times wider than it is long. If you look at the back of a DVD case, you can see what the film's aspect ratio is. It may say 4:3 or it may say 1.33:1 – or both! 1.78:1 is the aspect ratio of a 16:9 HDTV picture. AV Receiver An AV receiver serves as a switcher for numerous input sources and an amplifier/processor for surround sound systems. A receiver makes it easy to switch between different input sources, like satellite TV boxes, game consoles, and DVD/Blu-ray players. The AV receiver has both audio and video connections for all of the devices that can be plugged in. Afterward, the receiver transmits the video signals to the screen (such as an LED TV) and the audio signals to the sound system. An AV receiver is different from such an AV amplifier because it has a radio tuner built in. A 5.1/7.1 surround sound audio signal will also be processed by the receiver and sent to the linked surround sound speaker system. Bandwidth The most data that can be sent through an Internet connection in a certain amount of time. Bandwidth is often confused with internet speed, but it's actually the amount of data that can be sent over a connection in a certain amount of time, measured in megabits per second (Mbps). Bass trap Bass traps are a type of acoustic treatment that helps get rid of problems with low frequencies in a room. They are made to help fix a room that has a "boomy" sound. This "boomy" effect happens when the corners of a room (where a wall meets another wall or a wall meets the ceiling), which are more solidly built, reflect these low frequencies and create standing waves. In the case of standing waves, the amplitude of a low-frequency peak is equal to the amplitude of a corresponding trough, and the distance between diagonal corners is also equal to the (or harmonic of the frequency at half, quarter length etc.). Black Level Video black level is the brightness level of the darkest (blackest) part of an image or the brightness level at which no light comes out of a screen, making a pure black screen. In general, video displays need to be calibrated so that the black they show matches the black in the video signal. If the black level is not set correctly, visual information in a video signal could be shown as black, or black information could be shown above black information (gray). Different TV standards have different amounts of voltage for the black level. The black level in PAL is the same as the blanking level, but the black level in NTSC is about 54 mV higher than the blanking level. Blu-ray Disc A Blu-ray disc is similar to a DVD in that it is an optical storage disc. Blu-ray is the same size as a CD or DVD, but it can't be played in a regular CD or DVD player. A Blu-ray disc is better than a dual-layer DVD because it can hold about six times as much information. This means that a Blu-ray disc can hold high-resolution video and audio files that wouldn't fit on a DVD. So, a movie can be watched in 1080p high-definition video and heard in uncompressed multi-channel Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio. If you want, you can think of it as a high-definition DVD. bps (bits per second) Bits per second (bps) or bits per second (bit/sec) is a common way for computer modems as well as transmission carriers to measure how fast data is sent. As the name suggests, the speed in bits per second (bps) is the same as the number of bits sent or received every second. Bit rate, sometimes called bitrate or the variable R, is the number of bits processed in a given amount of time expressed as a decimal fraction of a second. Most of the time, these terms are used in the fields of data communications, telecommunications, and computer science. Sometimes, bigger units are used to show faster data speeds. One kilobit per second is equal to 1,000 bits per second (bps), and one megabit per second (Mbps) is equal to one million bits per second, or 1,000 Kbps. Burn-in The term "Burn-in" refers to a process in which semiconductor parts are put through extreme stress tests to find any early problems caused by bad materials, design, or manufacturing. Burn-in systems are used to do these tests, and the test conditions are set up to be like real-world situations. Coaxial Coaxial cables are used to send different radio, video, and audio signals. It consists of a solid conductor core, a layer of plastic insulation, another thin layer of conductor, and then a layer of plastic insulation on the outside. For a digital sound coaxial connection, it is best to use a 75-ohm coaxial cable to make sure that the signal is sent correctly. At each end of a coaxial connection for digital audio, there will be an RCA plug. Codec The word "codec" stands for "coder-decoder." In home theater, a codec is a term for different digital compression algorithms, like the ones used to compress and decompress audio on DVD as well as Blu-ray discs. So, we can talk about the DTS 5.1 codec or the Dolby Digital codec. Color Depth The color model of RGB is used by most TVs to show a picture. Here, each pixel's color is made up of different amounts of red, green, and blue. The number of bits used to describe each color for each pixel in a video is called its "color depth." About 16 million colors can be made with 8-bit color. About 1 billion colors can be made with 10-bit color. About 68 billion colors can be made with 12-bit color. 8-bits are usually used for each color in consumer video. This is how standard Blu-rays work, for example. 4K UHD Blu-ray uses 10-bit color, and the extra colors help with HDR content in particular. Ultra HD also allows for 12-bit color, but most TVs only have 8-bit or 10-bit color right now. Color depth and chroma subsampling are two terms that people often mix up. But they are not the same. Contrast Ratio The contrast ratio is defined as the number of sRGB bits in the brightest (white) and darkest (black) color signals which a panel can output. It is written as a ratio and tells the number of times brighter the white level is than the black level. For example, a contrast ratio of 2000:1 means that the white level is 2000 times brighter than the black level. Theoretically, a higher contrast ratio is better because it makes the whites whiter and the blacks darker. This makes the image look more real and detailed, especially when it's dark. People often say that an OLED TV has a contrast ratio of 1. This is because the black levels are perfect, which is measured as 0. But don't let the numbers alone fool you too much. In the real world, it doesn't always mean much. If you put a TV in a room with a lot of light, the picture won't show its full contrast ratio because the light will wash out the picture. So, if you watch movies in a dark room, the contrast ratio is more important. Just know that this is something to keep an eye out for. Center Channel Even though it's not the most essential speaker in a home theater system, the center channel speaker gets used the most. It usually has all of the dialogue and most of the effects that happen in the center. For optimal results, position the center channel speaker either below or above your screen. The only time this isn't true is when the projector screen has holes in it. In this case, the center channel is put right behind the screen. Coaxial Coaxial can refer to any cable that has a center “hot” pin with a surrounding shield. The Coaxial cables can be used for antenna or cable TV, but they can also refer to RCA style cables used to connect analogue outputs and inputs on audio devices. Coaxial can also refer to speakers where one driver (typically a tweeter) is located in the middle of another (typically a midrange driver). Component Video People often mix up "component video" and "RGB," since the cables are usually red, green, and blue. Component video is being phased out because of copyright concerns from content providers and film studios, despite the fact that it can transmit standard and high definition material in analogue form. Component video is also called Y/Pb/Pr, which means that the luminance (Y) information has been sent on one cable and the red (Pr) and blue (Pb) information is sent on the other two.  Composite video Composite video is a type of analog video signal that sends a single channel of standard-definition video (525 or 625 lines, usually). Video information is encoded on a single channel, but unlike high-quality S-Video, which uses two channels, or the even higher-quality component video, which uses three channels (three or more channels). Audio is sent over a separate connection in all of these video formats. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TVs use the CRT to project each of the primary light colors red, green, and blue. A phosphor-coated screen on the back of the tube is painted with lines by an electron gun. The scan lines have been aligned because then they merge into one picture. Burn-in can happen to CRT models. Digital Tuner The DTV converter box has the digital TV tuner that an older analog TV needs to be able to pick up digital TV signals from the air. Digital or high-definition TVs include an internal digital tuner that receives broadcast digital TV signals. Unless you are one of the few people who still uses a CableCard, the set-top box you got from your cable or satellite provider likely came with a digital TV tuner. The CableCard thus acts as the tuner. Distortion Distortion happens when the audio signal is too strong for the medium being used to send or record it. Interference is anything that isn't supposed to be in an audio transmission and changes the recording or sound from how it was meant to be. Distortion happens when the shape of the output is different from the shape of the input, but the loudness and dynamics are the same. DLP The DLP Digital Light Processing (DLP) chipset family uses an optical micro-electro-mechanical system and a digital micromirror device. Digital light processing is used for both traditional static displays and interactive displays, as well as non-traditional embedded applications like medical, security, and industrial uses (DLP). Digital signage, TVs with front projection, and TVs with back projection all use DLP technology. Schools and businesses often use front projectors. It's used in about 85% of all digital movie projections, and some 3D printers use it as a light source to cure resins, which makes it possible to make solid, three-dimensional things through a process called "additive manufacturing." Dolby Atmos A type of surround sound which uses objects to create a three-dimensional sound field by integrating the impacts of height and individual speakers. Instead of the front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and LFE channels that are used in a standard 7.1 surround sound setup, Dolby Atmos can use up to 128 separate audio objects. The mix was done on a 10-channel, 7.1.2 bed, so any 5.1 or 7.1 system should be able to play it well. Then, for systems that work with Dolby Atmos, an extra 118 things can be added around the sound field. Dolby Pro-Logic Dolby Pro Logic, the first of Dolby's surround sound formats, lets you separate the left and right channels from a stereo or Dolby Surround soundtrack to make a 4.0 surround output. The left and right front stereo speakers, the center channel, and the left and right rear mono speakers all make up these four channels. When it came out, this was a big step forward, but now we might expect at least 5.1-channel surround sound. Dolby TrueHD A way for Blu-ray discs to use Dolby's multi-channel audio standard. Dolby TrueHD uses lossless compression to fit more data on a CD. The audio you hear, on the other hand, is not compressed, so it sounds just like the new studio master recordings. The dynamic range is great all the way from the lows to the highs. I love it! But if your audio setup isn't very good, you won't get much out of it. It's a rival to Blu-ray discs' DTS-HD Master Audio. You might be able to use either format or both. Dolby Vision This technology, called "Dolby Vision," came out for the first time in 1997. The primary advantage over regular HDR is that information about how each scene should be shown can be sent to the TV scene by scene. It could also change based on what each TV can do. You might be able to use a firmware update to make your current gear work with Dolby Vision. DTS-HD Master Audio Multi-channel audio format made by Digital Theater System (DTS) that can only be played on Blu-ray discs. In DTS-HD Master Audio, the audio data is compressed so that it can fit on the CD, but what you hear is the uncompressed audio. The sound is reproduced just as it was on the studio master tapes. The dynamic range is good, the bass is strong, and the highs are clear and bright. It's great, but you'll need a good sound system to get the most out of it. On Blu-ray discs, it goes up against Dolby TrueHD. Either choice is possible. DTS:X DTS:X is an object-based surround sound format made by DTS. Like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X lets you create a 3D sound field by using both regular surround sound speakers and speakers in the ceiling. The sound in a DTS:X presentation will change based on how the speakers are set up in the room. This makes sure that you can enjoy DTS:X sound with different kinds of speaker setups. You just need to make sure your AV receiver can decode DTS:X soundtracks. DVD Audio DVD Audio is a digital audio format that is used on DVDs. Because a DVD has more space than a CD, it can store and play back better quality music than a CD. DVD-Audio can play high-resolution stereo files of up to 192 kHz/24 bit and 5.1 surround sound files of up to 96 kHz/24 bit. DVR A digital video recorder (DVR) is a piece of computing equipment that may record video and save it to a local or remote mass storage device (MSD) such a hard drive, USB flash drive, Secure Digital (SD) memory card, solid-state drive (SSD), or network. Digital video recorders, portable media players, TV gateways, and set-top boxes having direct to disk recording capabilities are all included in this broad category. Digital video recorders (DVRs) are often just computers that are hooked up to a video recording device. In these cases, the software needed to record video is already built into the DVR. Many digital video recorders (DVRs) are considered consumer electronics. In some countries, like Canada, these devices are also called "personal video recorders" (PVRs). Professional film and video production could use similar small devices with built-in 5-inch diagonal displays and SSD support. These recorders usually don't have the same limitations that cameras' built-in recorders do, so they can support more codecs, record for longer periods of time, and have higher bitrates. Dipole Speakers Dipole speakers have two speaker drivers in the same cabinet. This means that the sound can be sent in two different directions. Simply put, they work best as surround speakers in a 5.1 or 7.1 system. When one part is trying to push, the other side is pulling, so the signal from dipole speakers is out of phase and hard to find. For this type of speaker to work well, it needs to be put in the right place. Bipole speakers, which can be set up in a wider variety of ways, are another option. Driver This is the part of the speaker that moves and makes noise. Most of the time, larger drivers can reproduce lower frequencies, while smaller drivers may be able to reproduce higher frequencies. They work by quickly squeezing the air ahead of them and moving it. EDTV The Consumer Electronics Association uses the term "enhanced-definition television" (EDTV) to market a subset of HDTV hardware and software. This phrase refers to devices that support progressive scan, which is also known as 480p (NTSC-HQ) and 576p (PAL/SECAM). Interlaced scanning, which is called 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL/SECAM), is the opposite of this (PAL, SECAM). EDTV doesn't have to be about extreme activity. Equalization A circuit in a piece of audio equipment called an equalizer (EQ) changes the signal in a certain frequency range. There are hardware equalizers, but so many contemporary home theater systems have had this function built directly into the software, whether automatically or with sliders and slider sets that the user can control. The tone control is one of the easiest ways to change the sound. It usually has a bass as well as treble slider. The full range of equalizers includes parametric EQs, which let you change the width of the band, the center frequency, and also the amount of gain or trim, as well as graphic EQs, which let you choose a band and change it to affect a certain frequency range, and parametric EQs, which let you change the width of the band, the center frequency, and the amount of gain or trim. Frequency This is the technical term for how often a force from the outside makes air move. In home theater and music, we talk about a tone's or sound's frequency range or frequency band. Tweeters are in charge of making high-frequency sounds, while regular drivers and woofers are in charge of making low-frequency sounds. The upper and lower limits of a band where any particular frequency can be found in a linear or logarithmic form are called the "frequency range." Even though the average individual can listen to frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, by the time they hit their 30s, most people's listening has already peaked around 15-16 kHz. We usually "feel" frequencies below 20 Hz rather than "hear" them. Flat Screen TV This type of display is also known as a "flat-screen TV." Contemporary flat-screen TVs are much easier to move around the room than CRT TVs, which are bigger and heavier. Because it is so thin, a flat-screen TV could even be mounted on the wall to save space. They can be as short as 10 inches or as long as 70 inches or more. LED and OLED are currently the most popular types of flat screen technology on the market. Plasma and LCD tv sets have both been replaced by newer technologies. Frame/Frame Rate During a recording, a video or film camera takes a new picture, or frame, at regular times. The frame rate of a camera is how many still pictures it can take in one second. A high frame rate makes sure that any movement in the picture looks smooth and natural. The frame rate for traditional film cinematography is 24 frames per second. A video's frame rate can be different in many places around the world. Most of Europe, such as the UK, uses a frequency of 50 Hz, or 25 fps/50 fps. In the United States and Japan, the standard is 30 frames per second and 60 fields per second, respectively. Some special broadcasts, like those of sports games, may use higher frame rates of 50/60Hz to better show fast-moving action. FPS Frames per second (FPS) is a measure of how well a video is recorded, played back, or played in a game. Frames per second (FPS) is a term that is often used when talking about video recording and playback. It measures the frame rate. Regarding 10–12 frames per second is about all our minds can handle. Whenever the frame rate is more than this, it looks like the picture is moving. The more frames per second (FPS) there are, the smoother the video seems to move. 24 frames per second is the norm for full-motion video. Different video formats have different frame rates (FPS). Lower FPS rates cause computer files to be smaller. HD DVD HD DVD stands for DVD with a high definition and/or density. Toshiba's high-density data storage optical disc format was comparable to Blu-ray. In comparison to standard DVDs, it can contain a lot more information, making it great for HD content. When major content producers abandoned it in favor of Blu-ray in 2008, it was officially retired. HDMI HDMI Means High Definition Multimedia Interface. A connection that allows for the transfer of digital audio and video. In today's world, this form of cable connection is the norm for AV equipment. The minimum need for a modern television or Blu-ray/DVD player should be one of these. You should utilize this connection instead of the component or SCART connections if possible. All digital video signals (including HD) and up to 8 channels of lossless digital audio may be sent via a single HDMI connection (including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio – with HDMI 1.3). That's great news since it means there are fewer cords cluttering the space behind your TV. HDMI ARC/eARC In the case of HDMI, "ARC" refers to the Audio Return Channel while "eARC" refers to the enhanced ARC. Some of the HDMI ports on a TV, AV receiver, or sound bar may have the ARC designation. This allows the TV's sound to be played via the AV system's speakers. For this to function, the HDMI ports on both your TV and receiver/soundbar must be compatible. This may help streamline your network. This feature may eliminate the need for an additional optical connection while listening to in-TV audio, such as when using the Netflix or Amazon Prime Video app. If your TV doesn't have a digital audio out, this is a great alternative. Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby Atmos are just some of the higher bitrate audio formats that can be sent over the newer eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) standard. HDR High Dynamic Range is the abbreviation for this effect. Method of expanding an image's tonal range. Deeper blacks. More luminous whites. There should be a wider range of hues. Result? A more realistic image will result. To stream material from an HDR-capable Blu-ray player to an HDR-capable TV, you will need an AV receiver that also supports HDR. HDR is available in a number of flavors, including Dolby Vision, Hybrid Log-Gamma, HDR10, and HDR10+. A certain version may only be used if your whole hardware setup is compatible with it. HDR10 HDR10 is an open-source HDR format that is supported by a wide variety of devices. The current standard for both sources and displays. HDR10+ HDR10 with the latest improvements. It's similar to Dolby Vision in that it uses dynamic information to alter the contrast and color gamut based on the context of the current scene or frame. It's starting to appear more often in items from certain brands. HDTV High-Definition Television is abbreviated as HDTV. Compared to standard definition television (SDTV) and enhanced definition television (EDTV), high definition television (HDTV) delivers much sharper visuals. High-definition video signals have to include at least 720 vertical lines of information per frame when using progressive scan, or 1080 lines when using interlaced scan. Thus, both 720p and 1080i, and especially 1080p, are high-definition transmissions (also known as full HD). A 16:9 ratio is recommended for the film as well (widescreen). HDV When compared to SD video, high-definition video (HDV) is clearly the superior technology. When compared to regular video and older video formats, the file size, screen size, and quality of this newer format are all superior. Compared to standard definition video, high definition video allows for a wider range of technical factors to be adjusted. Horn A horn is a kind of high-frequency driver in which a guide in the form of a horn is fitted around a tweeter to direct the sound in a certain direction. Nearly often, the speaker itself serves as inspiration for the horn's design. Klipsch is responsible for bringing the horn's widespread use in live sound reinforcement to the home theater market. Integrated Amp This device is both an amplifier and a preamp, which means it can do both. A receiver usually has an AM/FM tuner and often has video switching functions to set it apart from an integrated amplifier. Impedance Impedance is the amount of resistance that a load, like a speaker, puts up against an amplifier. It does exactly what it sounds like it does. The total number of parts in a loudspeaker determines how much current the amplifier sends to the system. This is a function of how the speaker is made. Speakers with impedances that work well with amplifiers and make sound that is consistent across all frequencies were made with these things in mind. A speaker with a higher impedance will need a stronger amplifier to make sound in the same conditions. Image Resolution The size of an image is based on how many pixels were used to make it. This is what you get when you multiply the number of lines of vertical pixel data by the image's aspect ratio. HDTV needs at least 720 lines of pixels in the vertical direction, and the typical aspect ratio is 1.78. (16:9). So, 720 vertical lines times 1.78 (the aspect ratio) equals 1280. (horizontal lines). So, we can say that this 720p picture has a total of 921,600 pixels (1280 x 720). Depending on where a picture comes from, its resolution may change when it's sent to your TV. This is not the same as the TV's original resolution, which you can't change. Imaging The word "imaging" is similar to the word "soundstage" in that it describes how a set of speakers places sounds in the three-dimensional space in front of the listener. If your speakers have good imaging, you'll be able to place each instrument or sound effect in the virtual world exactly where it is. LFE Low Frequency Effects data from a movie is usually put on a separate track with a fixed sampling rate and a range of frequencies (20–120Hz). This is the extra channel that is added to a 5.1 or 7.1 audio track. It is often used to "sweeten" the low end of an effect or scene, like in explosions. Unless told otherwise, an A/V receiver will send signals from the LFE to the subwoofer output and send bass to any "Small" speakers. LED TV A kind of flat-screen TV that looks like an LCD. LED TVs light up their screens with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), while LCD TVs use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) (CCFLs). Even so, both of them have LCD screens. At first, there was a lot of confusion because not all TV manufacturers called their LCD TVs with LED backlights LED TVs. The term "LED TV" is being used more and more. LCD TV A word for a TV that has a flat screen. A liquid crystal display is what an LCD stands for. An LCD display is made up of "pixels" that are small pieces of liquid crystal and a backlight. The brightness of each pixel can be changed by sending an electric signal that changes the molecular structure of the liquid crystal. By using a color filter to separate each pixel into its red, green, and blue sub-pixels and then changing the amount of light that goes into each sub-pixel, a wide range of colors can be made. A TV image is made by changing the brightness and color of each individual pixel in real time. This technology is also used to make displays like computer monitors and projectors, as well as TVs and radios. Line Doubler/Tripler/Multiplier One way to improve picture quality, or PQ, is to show more horizontal lines on the screen. An anti-interlaced line-doubler stores both fields of each frame in a memory buffer and draws them all at once (i.e. progressive scan). Lumens The lumen (lm) is the unit of luminous flux in the International System of Units. Luminous flux is the total amount of visible light that a source gives off in a given amount of time (SI). A luminosity function is a model of how the human eye responds to different wavelengths of light, and this is how luminous flux changes from power (radiant flux). One lux is just the same as one lumen per square meter. Multi-zoom Multi-zone or multi-room refers to a system that can send sound to more than one room, either through the line level or through the speakers. This could be about the installation or the equipment. People often use the term "multi-zone" to mean that they can send sound from more than one place. Midrange Most of the sound spectrum is in the midrange, so it's not surprising that it's often the subject of discussion when judging speakers or other audio equipment. This is right in the middle of the sound spectrum, so the range of frequencies is from 600 Hz to 1.5 kHz. Here, the upper mids start, and you can hear frequencies up to 2.5kHz. MPEG MPEG is a video file format made by the Moving Picture Experts Group, the same people who made MP3 and MP4. Depending on how it will be used, it can use either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 file compression. NanoCell A term used by LG to brand its top-of-the-range LED TVs. NanoCell TVs use a similar LED technology to QLED TVs. Therefore, they have an increased color range and better viewing angles compared to standard LED TVs. Native Resolution Native resolution is the number of actual dots on the screen. A display with a "Native Resolution" of 1280 x 768 has a width of 1280 pixels and a resolution of 768 pixels in the vertical direction. The physical dots a monitor can digitally copy are what make up its "Supported Resolution." The resolution that a flat-panel TV was made with. Input signals that are higher or lower than the native resolution must be upconverted or downconverted to show correctly. Optical Audio Connection A TOSLINK cable is a type of cable for both audio and video. A way for different devices to share digital audio signals. Put together to make a number of DVD players and video game consoles. The audio signal is turned into light and sent through an optical fiber cable. Using formats like Dolby Digital and DTS to get stereo and 5.1 surround sound data. OLED TV A type of flat-screen TV that doesn't use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to make the picture. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. An OLED has an organic layer that gives off light when an electric current flows through it. Since these TVs don't need a backlight, they may be very thin and light. Also, it uses little power, has a large viewing angle, and has a good contrast ratio. People often say that they have the best picture quality that is currently available. Passive speaker For a passive speaker to be heard, its signal must be boosted by something else. A thing is "passive" if it can do its job without being plugged into a power source. There are crossovers and speakers that don't do anything. In a subwoofer or loudspeaker, a passive radiator is a driver and radiating surface that isn't connected to the amplifier's power supply but is nonetheless used to counteract the effects of the latter on the active driver or drivers. Passive Subwoofer This subwoofer needs a separate amplifier to work. This subwoofer needs to be hooked up to a home theater receiver in order to work. The subwoofer is useless as a speaker box on its own. Since the signal is amplified before it goes to the subwoofer, passive subwoofers usually don't have volume or tone controls. Subwoofers made to work with a home theater system often have electronics that work. Power Output The power output of an amplifier is the amount of power it produces in response to a particular voltage input. The results are usually given in watts, and there are many ways to measure the power output. OTA Over-the-air programming (OTA) refers to the many ways that devices like mobile phones, set-top boxes, electric cars, and secure voice communication equipment can get updates to their software, configuration settings, and encryption keys (encrypted two-way radios). Over-the-air new features have the benefit that they can be sent to everyone on the channel each from a single place, without users being able to say no. Pixel Pixel is Short for picture elements. A TV screen is made up of a grid of tiny dots, squares, and rectangles. Every one of them is called a "pixel." Each of these pixels can be set to show a different color and a different amount of brightness. When all of these dots, or pixels, come together, they make an image on the screen. If you stand very close to your TV, you might be able to see the pixels at work. The number of pixels used to make the display on your TV is its native resolution. Plasma TV Plasma TV is another word for a TV that has a flat screen. A plasma screen is made up of tiny pixels filled with gas and covered with phosphor. When an electrical signal is sent, gas and phosphorus react to make colors. By changing these colors, we can make a picture on the TV. Really clever, huh? Plasma TVs used to have the best picture quality, but all manufacturers stopped making them recently. Passive Speaker  For a passive speaker to be heard, its signal must be boosted by something else. A thing is "passive" if it can do its job without being plugged into a power source. Crossovers and speakers that don't use electricity don't need an active amplifier. A passive radiator is a driver or radiating surface on a subwoofer or loudspeaker that is not electrically connected to the amplifier. Instead, it is used to push back on the active driver or drivers. Progressive Scan A way to make the resolution of your TV look bigger is by scanning twice as many lines of image on the TV slowly (one after the other) (in succession). This way, you can see all of a frame's lines at once, which makes the picture look more uniform. This is done 30 times per second (fps) with NTSC (i.e. 30 fps). QLED TV LEDs are at the heart of Samsung's QLED TV technology. They are made with quantum dot technology, which is why they are called QLED. QLED TVs are better than regular LED TVs in a number of ways, such as having a wider range of colors, being brighter, and having wider viewing angles. But they are more expensive. Room Acoustics Room acoustics is a branch of acoustics that looks at how sound behaves in closed or mostly closed spaces. The acoustic "fingerprint" of a place can change the quality of a sound, whether it's speech, music, or noise. Since acoustics is about how sound waves interact with different surfaces, it makes sense that there are many different things going on in the acoustics of a single room. The general flow of sound waves in a space is affected by hard surfaces, loud sources, and high ceilings. RMS (Root Mean Square) A number that shows how something has changed over time. It's used with amplifiers to get a good idea of how much power they put out in watts. Root-mean-square (RMS) values are multiplied by the voltage and wattage measurements to get the power. The average power is more important than the peak power because it tells us more about how the amplifier will work in the real world. Refresh Rate The refresh rate of a TV is the number of times per second that the picture is "refreshed." The flicker will be less noticeable in fast-moving scenes if the image is updated more quickly. Because of differences in technology, this number will be a little off in different parts of the world. Interlaced TV in PAL countries has a frame rate of 25 fps, and each frame has two drawing passes. So, the rate of refreshment is written as 50Hz (25 x 2). (25 x 2). In the United States and Canada, the standard refresh rate is 59.94 hertz (Hz), which is the same as 29.97 frames per second (fps) (29.97 x 2). These refresh rates came from using interlaced scan pictures, but when progressive scan pictures were used instead, they stayed the same. Some new TVs now have refresh rates of 100 or 120Hz. Some say that digital signal processing can be used to get even higher refresh rates. RCA Plug RCA Plug is also called phono plug. These ports are a standard for connecting audio and video and can be found on many different kinds of electronics (DVD players, TVs, etc.). The red and white plugs are for stereo audio, the yellow plug is for video, and the red, green, and blue plugs are for component video. Digital audio links that use coaxial cables are also often used. Rear Projection A TV system that uses CRT, DLP, or LCD technology to project the image onto a mirror inside the cabinet. Some video projectors can flip the picture when used with a screen that projects from the back. RGB (Red Green Blue) The RGB color space is used by both the digital video camera and the RGB gun on a CRT. It is a generic color space with a high bandwidth that combines both color and black-and-white data. Most of the time, RGB is not good for sending or compressing (see also YCbCr) (see also YCbCr). Screen Gain Gain is a measure of how reflective a projection screen or other projection surface is. The gain shows how much light the screen tends to reflect than a normal white (magnesium oxide) board. Sensitivity A number that shows how much sound a speaker can make with a certain amount of electricity. Most of the time, the sensitivity of a speaker is measured in decibels of sound pressure level (SPL) at one meter from the speaker when it is being powered by one watt (2.83 volts at eight ohms). This test usually uses a certain frequency range, but this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Soundbar This line of speakers meant to go along the top or bottom of a TV. The goal is to improve the sound of the TV without having to set up a separate AV receiver and sets of speakers for surround sound. Most soundbars will use audio processing techniques to make it sound like there are more speakers there than there actually are. Most of the time, it is an active speaker that can be wired directly into the audio output of a TV. SDR This is short for "SDR," which stands for "Standard Dynamic Range." Standard definition (SDR) video has a much smaller dynamic range than high dynamic range (HDR) video. A standard dynamic range (SDR) TV can't play HDR content because it needs a higher level of brightness, contrast ratio, and color spectrum. SDTV "SDTV" is short for "Standard Definition Television." Standard Definition Television (SDTV) doesn't have as good of a picture as EDTV or HDTV (HDTV). Each frame of a standard definition video stream has either 480 (in North America) or 576 (in Europe) lines of information that can be seen from the top down. So, you might see a 480i (480 lines, interlaced) or 576i (576 lines) SDTV broadcast (576 lines, interlaced). Both HDTV and EDTV are better than standard definition TV in terms of picture quality. Subwoofer One that can play bass notes that are very low. This item is often called "sub" for short. A subwoofer is a low-frequency speaker that is connected to an AV receiver as part of a surround sound speaker system. But you only need a stereo amplifier to listen to music on one. You may get much better bass performance in your room if you use a speaker whose only job is to play low-frequency sounds (also known as the LFE track). If you get rid of your subwoofer, your surround speakers can also sound better. The neighbors can't stand it! Surround Sound The process of sending sound to many different places. Almost all of the sound we hear on TV and radio is stereo, which means it was recorded and mixed to be heard on two speakers in front of you. Surround sound can help people understand where sounds are coming from, both in the theater and at home. Think about the six speakers in a 5.1 surround sound system as an example. Typical home theater setups have left and right front speakers (or stereo speakers), a center channel for speech, left and right surround speakers (behind you), and a subwoofer (for bass). Two more speakers are in the back of the room as part of the 7.1 speaker set-up. Screen-door Effect On cheaper LCDs, you can sometimes see the grid of colorful pixels that make up the image. This makes it look like you're looking at the picture through a screen door. Surround speakers Surround speakers are also called back speakers or back effect speakers. In a home theater system, the surround speakers are in charge of making background noise. In a 5.1 setup, there are two surround speakers. In a 7.1 setup, there are four. If you like to watch movies at home, you need a surround-sound system. A soundbar just can't compare to a multi-channel system, whether it's 2.1, 5.1, or Atmos 5.1. When there are a lot of people around, it's easy to hear how the bigger and more interesting sound is better. SVGA Super VGA, or SVGA, is a group of resolutions and interfaces for computer monitors that were made to improve on IBM's VGA specification. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) created this display standard, which has a higher resolution than that of the 640 x 480 Video Graphics Array (VGA) standard. The computer can show up to 16 million different colors, depending on its hardware and memory. S-Video S-Video is an analog video transmission format with 525 or 625 lines of resolution that is used to send standard definition video. It is also known as separate video, Y/C, and, incorrectly, Super-Video. When luma and chrominance are put on their own encoding channels, the picture quality is better than with composite video, which puts all of the video information on a single channel. It also gets rid of some of the things that make composite video look bad, like "dot crawl." The picture quality of S-Video is better than that of composite video, but it can't compare to the three-channel encoding and higher color resolution of component video. THD To quantify the degree of harmonic distortion in a signal, we may calculate its total harmonic distortion (THD or THDi), which is the quotient of the powers of all harmonic components over the power of the fundamental frequency. The related phrase distortion factor is occasionally substituted for it. Of audio systems, lesser distortion implies the components in a loudspeaker, amplifier or microphone, or other equipment generate a more accurate reproduction of an audio recording. Throw Distance The throw distance of a projector is the horizontal distance between the projector and the screen. It is expressed as a ratio describing the distance to the screen in proportion to the width of the screen. The projector's lens determines the device's throw ratio. THX Whether it's understanding the exact location of enemy gunfire or relishing the moment as you stand in the heart of an arena, the THX Spatial Audio App offers superior 7.1 surround sound with precision‌ and accuracy to make your game come alive. TOSLink The Toshiba Optical S/Video Link (TOSLINK) is a common kind of optical fiber plug. [4] Commonly used in consumer audio equipment (via a "digital optical" socket), optical audio transmits a digital audio signal from a source device (like a CD player or DVD player) to a destination device (like an AV receiver) that can decode the signal. This signal can be two channels of uncompressed lossless pulse-code modulated (PCM) audio or compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound (like Dolby Digital or DTS Surround System). Lossless versions of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as more than two channels of PCM audio, cannot be sent through TOSLINK due to its limited bandwidth. Tweeter A loudspeaker intended to reproduce high frequencies - commonly in the area of 2 kHz to 20 kHz. The high-frequency sound is reproduced by the tweeter, and the low-frequency sounds are reproduced by the woofer, both of which are found in a standard bookshelf speaker. Upscaling Upscaling means modifying a low-quality video feed to a higher resolution. Scaling video signals from one resolution to another is what a video scaler does. For instance, a DVD player may play an SD movie (480 lines NTSC, 576 lines PAL) and upscale this picture to 720 (or 1080) vertical lines to match the resolution of an HD monitor. When applied to a high-definition TV or projector, this method may vastly improve the visual quality of regular DVDs. In this scenario, the DVD player or the TV/projector, whichever has the superior video scaler, will provide the best results for the upscaled video. Due to its dedicated nature as a video display device, the TV will often include a more effective scaler. UHDV Both 4K UHD and 8K UHD are digital video formats with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and both are used in modern ultra-high-definition television. The resolution of 38402160P is considered to be UHD (Ultra High Definition). Basically, this implies that an Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV has a higher pixel density. The result is improved picture quality on the television. Because of the greater screen size of UHD TVs, viewers may move closer to the screen without diminishing the quality of the image. UMD Sony's optical disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD), was designed for use with the PlayStation Portable mobile gaming and entertainment system but has since been phased out. It has a storage capacity of up to 1.8 GB, making it suitable for storing media like games, movies, and music. VGA Connector A system for transmitting video in analog form. The 15-pin D-type connector is the standard for this sort of port on electronic gadgets. Although its primary use are on PCs and projectors, several modern flat panel displays still have USB ports specifically for connecting laptops. Viewing Angle Viewing angle, in the context of display technology, refers to the maximum angle from which a display may be seen without compromising image quality. The precise term for this angular range is a "viewing cone," which encompasses many different possible perspectives. A display's viewing angle may be thought of as either the angular range in which the display can be seen well, or as the angle of usually acceptable viewing, such as a twelve o'clock viewing angle for a display suited for viewing from above. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) "VRR" refers to the ability to change the refresh rate of a display. Section of the HDMI 2.1 standard. A VRR-capable display will automatically adjust its refresh rate to match the data coming from the graphics card. Gamers will find this to be of special value. This ensures that the screen refresh rate will not interfere with the frame rate of the game you are playing. As a consequence, there will be no screen tearing during gameplay. As a bonus, it may lessen the load on the electrical grid. NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync are two such examples. The display and graphics card must be compatible with the same version of VRR. Wide Color Gamut The term "color gamut" is used to describe the range of colors that may be shown by a given system. This gadget might be a television or a projector. The color gamut specifications for televisions have evolved throughout time. The emergence of HD and 4K televisions, for example, marked a significant shift in these norms over time. A new protocol, BT.2020, was developed for 4K Ultra HD. More color depth was included as part of this new standard. The broad color gamut is a common term for this new and enhanced color standard. Widescreen If you're familiar with the usual 4:3 (1.33:1) aspect ratio, you'll notice that a widescreen picture is both wider and shorter. Whenever the term "widescreen" is used, it is almost always in reference to a 16:9 (1.78:1) aspect ratio, since this is the most common size for modern flat-screen televisions. Movies, however, are often filmed with much wider picture sizes, such as 1.85:1 or 2.39:1. Since our 16:9 TV can only display images with a 4:3 aspect ratio, we see black bars at the top and bottom of movies that were filmed with a wider aspect ratio. Woofer A loudspeaker intended to reproduce low frequencies - commonly in the area of 40 Hz to 1 kHz. A conventional bookshelf speaker may feature two speaker drivers - a woofer for the low frequencies, and a tweeter for the high frequencies.. WXGA Wide XGA (WXGA) is a group of non-standard resolutions created from the XGA display standard by expanding the width of the image to accommodate a wider screen. WXGA is a popular widescreen resolution for budget LCD TVs and computer displays. Given the development of multiple roughly comparable timings optimized for various tasks and generated from different bases, the precise resolution delivered by a device branded as "WXGA" may be rather varied. Y/C cable The Y/C connection allows high-quality video signals to be sent from one device to another. When video equipment has to combine luminance and chrominance signals and route them down a single wire, Y/C jacks are a big help
