How Do You Pick A THX-Certified Receiver?
For the best home theater experience, THX-certified receivers really deliver. Originally developed by George Lucas and his THX (Techsurround High eXpert) Division, the THX-certified receiver has become the hallmark for upscale home theaters. In fact, it is this same technology that you hear every time you visit your local movie theater. Take inventory of the number of channels you will need. This refers to the number of speakers you have to power. Decide how many pieces of equipment you want to connect to the receiver. This may include an HDTV, a DVD player or any stereo equipment. Measure the room or space in which the entertainment system will be placed. The more space you have, the more watts your receiver will need. Choose the receiver with the correct number of inputs, which refers to the number or channels you have. You should pick a receiver that has a few more inputs than required in case you want to add components later. Pick the receiver that has the right amount of power. Fi
