Common Home Theatre Problems

Read more about the common home theatre problems and how to avoid them.

Buying and installing a home theatre system is surely not cheap. We all want to make the most of our money, and make sure that our purchases are worth it. We’ve listed some of the common home theatre problems and tips on how you can avoid them.

Common Home Theatre Problems

1) Echos. If the sound is not clear, or is sharp but ends with an echo, the culprit maybe that your speakers (type, size, configuration, etc) do not match the size and design of your room. For example, a big hall needs speakers with better configuration than a 5.1 speaker.

2) Disc player not properly functioning. If you have poor quality video outputs when you insert your discs, check to make sure that the disc and the disc player are compatible with each other. Some players don’t play certain types of files such as FLV or MKV. You can try to convert the video to a file type that is supported by your player. AVI or MP4 formats are usually standard.

3) No surround sound. Surround sound effect is one of the best things about getting a home theatre system. But if you are expecting a more multi dimensional sound output but instead getting something more direct, the whole set up becomes pointless. Note that conversations that happen in a movie are only distributed by the central speaker, hence surround sound speakers are not used here. Also, proper installation and set up of the speakers is necessary to maximize their full potential. Here are some tips: make sure you read the user manual on how to install your speakers, properly place left and right speakers according to the label, and place the surround speakers at an appropriate distance from the central speakers.
