For years, I’ve always wanted to get a premier home theatre for my house and I had my eyes laid on the Yamaha YHT 895 with a 56 inch screen size plasma TV. With six HDMI ports, more than 8 speakers and a woofer bigger than my CPU
box, it was a bargain and just what I was looking for. Although the
Radio Shack salesperson suggested that I hire an installation expert, I
decided to try it on my own. I had installed a home theatre system
before and I was confident that it wouldn’t be any trouble at all. How
wrong I was.
The very first problem that I
had in the installation of the system was to actually understand the
manual. The manual was a big book and it had some amazing pictures with
details. However, even though they were written in English, I was having
a tough time making heads or tails of them. It might as well have been
in Spanish with the trouble I was having. Going through the manual and
understanding every detail took over an hour and once I just started to
think I was getting somewhere, I realised that I’d made a mistake and
had to start over. You need to make sure that you connect each and every
wire to the correct ports, and it can be a very trial and error based
process. Since most of the home theatre systems are now digitalised, you
have to be really careful with the wiring system. I was also having
problem with my old analogue TV antenna as well. I also didn’t know
where to place the satellite speakers. As a result I was getting an echo
and noise in the room whenever I played a movie or put on some music. I
wasn’t able to enjoy the system at all and decided to call for
professional help.
Lucky for me, there are hundreds
of professionals who install home theatre systems. I just searched
Google for ‘Home Theatre Installation Brisbane’ and found a number of
service providers that were close by. They were very professional, came
to fix the problems quickly and I was finally getting the result I was
expecting from the home theatre system. The technicians also replaced my
old analogue TV antenna with a digital one as well.
