Can
You Afford To Build
A Home
Theater System?
•
We get
lots of questions about setting up a Home Theater System, and how
much it will cost.
•
We’re going to
offer you three levels of Home Theater performance: Beginner, Good
and Pro. If you’re on a tight budget, start off on the
Beginner level, but please don’t settle for that. A Beginner
system doesn’t deliver the full sound quality your TV is able
to produce.
•
Gradually
add pieces until you move your system up to Good or Pro level. A
Good system gives you the minimum quality needed for
High Definition TV broadcasts. Pro level
gives you bragging rights in your neighborhood!

Guide
To Plasma TV
• These three Home
Theater setups range from bare bones to luxurious. Pick the one
that you can afford and feel comfortable with. Over time, you can
upgrade to a better system with more bells and whistles.
•
Please
don’t settle for the Beginner system; it doesn’t
produce the sound your system (and you) deserve. With a little
perseverance, you and your family will enjoy booming movie sound
tracks and digital broadcasts for years to come!
It’s as easy as
