How can I get better stereo reception when some of my walls are underground?
Question:
I live in an apartment/townhouse community and I can't get my stereo to play at all, pure static. One of my walls is under ground and then I am surround by other units on the other three, well except for the front one that goes out side. My stereo is close to the front wall and window and I do have the antana that came with it attached. I forgot to mention this is an old school stereo, full cabinet and rack. Any ideas?
Answer: You might be able to get an external antenna for it and hook it up so the antenna is outside. They also offer cable audio in some places you may want to check on this and see if it is an option.
Ever since the advent of home video tape in the late 1970s, people have been attaching their stereos to their televisions and calling it a home theater. Happily, the era of the 19-inch television with a 30-watt stereo home theater setup is as dead as bell bottom polyester pants. Today, a genuine theater-quality movie experience is available to just about anyone willing to dedicate a little space, money, and effort to the project.
No matter how sophisticated the equipment, a real movie theater experience at home cannot be obtained in your living room. A separate space must be dedicated to qualify as a true home theater, and it should be as dark and separate from the rest of the house as possible. Basements and rec rooms are popular choices for many homes, but an attic or spare bedroom of sufficient size would do just as well. Even an unused garage, if adequately climate controlled, could be put to use as your own private screening room.
Ideally, the room should mimic the theater experience as closely as possible. Movie-themed decorations would be well considered. Better still, hanging a few big, tacky curtains from the wall and around the doors would create a nice big-screen ambiance to the room. Recessed ceiling lights are traditional, but torchiere floor lamps placed along the walls would suffice as well. A nice touch would be to install a light dimmer that would turn the lights down but not quite off, just like your local theater does. As a final touch, mount a big green or red exit sign near the door.
The television should be a flat screen mounted to the wall and should be as big as your budget allows for. The sound system must be at least Dolby 5.1 compatible and include a subwoofer for that wall-shaking theater sound experience. However there are plenty of 5.1 systems available in every price range, with quite respectable systems starting from around $200.
Home theater setup doesn't have to be difficult. With the right advice, and careful planning, you can achieve great results, without blowing your budget!
