Home theater is something that your entire family can enjoy watching movies or playing video games or listening for music at your home. The most benefit is you do not have to spend much money compared if you had a plan to take your family go for outdoor vacation. The largest obstacles for most people when purchasing Home Theater is they do not understand the terms used.

First, you must decide at which store you want to shop for your home theater. I suggest you to find a shop that had speciality on home theater or at least they sell everything related to home theater, such as lcd television, plasma TV, VCR and DVD Players, Audio Equipment or other home movie equipment.

Here is the quick tips, chooose a TV at least 27 inches, bigger is better, choose a flat screen (LCD or Plasma). Whenever possible, choose DVD/VCR as a separate component (in case of failure), because now many TV already equipped with DVD/VCR. For Audio, you need to add a few good quality speakers inspite of built-in TV speaker.

The last, your home theater room also plays a major part how the sound interpreted in relation to the accoustic if the room, furniture, walls, curtains, carpet etc. If you need a cheaper budget home theater, you can purchase Home theater mini system which is much simpler, all you need is the TV and the installation is much easier too.

It's now all up to you, which one you choose, and don't forget to make sure to control the budget.
