The term "home theater" can include so many different things that it can be difficult to offer a definition for how they work. However, I've found that you can boil it down to a reasonably clear and basic description.

In this book, you will learn things like:
-What you will need and how to get it setup and working correctly.
-What the various parts that make up a home theater system are in a way that is easy to understand.
-Why we need products like an Av receiver and how they into fit into your system.
-How to setup your speakers and source units so that you can get the best out of your new system.
-How and when to use the various connections that are in use in today's home theater systems.
