Before equipment arrives
Confirm the seat and screen locations, manufacturer clearances, power provision and cable routes. Check network coverage for streaming and a wired option where practical.

YOUR HOME. THE MAIN EVENT.
A good home theatre setup starts with the room, not with a shopping list. Plan the screen, seating, speakers, acoustics, wiring and power together so the system feels immersive and remains easy to use.

SLV / ROOM-FIRST PLANNING
Home Theatre Setup at Home: A Practical Checklist
A home theatre setup works best when each decision follows the room plan. Document the existing equipment first, then identify the missing parts instead of replacing the whole system automatically.
During installation
Label both ends of every cable and test the intended signal format before concealing it. Verify polarity, channel assignment and safe mounting. Keep packaging, serial details and warranty documents.
Before calling the setup complete
Check each source, full-screen focus, aspect ratio, dialogue, lip sync, surround routing and bass from the seats. Save AVR settings and show every regular user the normal startup/shutdown sequence.
Create a short fault checklist: which input to use, where to find receiver status, and how to contact support. Avoid factory resets as the first response to every issue.

Guide
Start with the room and seating
Measure the room, mark the main seating position and note doors, windows, ceiling height, power points and cable routes. Viewing distance and room width influence screen size, speaker spacing and whether a projector or TV makes more sense.
Picture
Choose the display around room light, viewing distance and desired screen size—not resolution alone.
Sound
Plan front speakers, surrounds, subwoofers and Atmos channels around actual seating positions.
Room
Treat reflections, bass build-up and noise leakage before chasing more amplifier power.
Guide
Projector, screen or TV?
A projector is ideal when cinematic image size matters and the room can support the required throw distance and light control. A TV can suit bright multipurpose rooms or smaller spaces. For projection, screen type, gain and acoustic transparency should be selected together with the projector.
Guide
Plan audio before wiring
Decide the speaker layout before false-ceiling, wall-panel or interior work starts. Pre-planning lets you hide speaker, subwoofer, HDMI, network and control cables cleanly and keeps future upgrades easier.
Guide
Build in the right order
A practical sequence is room planning, electrical and cable routing, acoustics/interiors, screen and projector mounting, speaker installation, AV receiver setup, calibration and final tuning. This avoids rework and protects finished surfaces.
