16mm Film

Posts Tagged ‘home’

Until a few years ago the most enjoyable way to watch a movie, while keeping its original intention, was to go to a movie theater. The introduction of VCR’s made it 
easy to rent or buy movies and watch them at home, but TVs simply couldn’t compare to movie theaters’ huge screens and surround sound systems. Not only did TVs have 
comparatively small screens and lower quality speakers, but  formatting a movie to fit the screen got rid of a substantial part of the picture.

However, more people are now turning their ordinary TV rooms into home theaters. This used to involve a projector and a screen, and it was too expensive for most 
people to afford. However, advances in technology have given people more choices for home theater systems.  The advantages of home theater systems are that they are 
quieter and much more convenient than movie theaters.  The excellent picture and sound will also make you feel as if you are in the movie theater itself.

At first, home theaters used 8mm and 16mm film projectors, making movie selections very limited.   Then, home theaters had 35mm gear, followed by VHS, and beta, tape.  
After that it was Laser-discs, which were like very DVD’s.  Laser-discs were followed by DVD’s, until most recently as DVD’s are now being replaced with Blu-Ray Discs.

It’s a completely different game now as home theater system technology has considerably advanced. Contemporary home theater systems, which can include Blu-Ray players, 
HD Satellite TV systems, DLP LCD, plasma TVs, and digital surround sound can be incredibly overwhelming to many people. The purpose of our free download-able booklet 
is to help you make an informed decision when considering your home theater system purchase.

First of all, you do not have to spend a small fortune to achieve your desired effect.  An amazing home theater system can fit within even the most modest budget. All 
you really need for the basic home cinema experience is a DVD player or Blu-Ray player, a good video display, and digital surround sound.  With those 3 main 
components, you can begin to enjoy movies at home more than before.

Some of the best home theater systems are ones which are incorporated into a family or living room. These home theater systems are built right into the room, are 
completely unobtrusive, and go fairly unnoticed. These systems look the best because they are like an extension of your house itself, and they don’t look like separate 
components wired together, even though they are in reality.  In fact, most of your guests won’t even notice these kinds of home theater systems until you turn on the 
television or pop in a movie, after which they’ll be blown away.

If you have a larger budget you may want a dedicated room for your home movie experience.  A dedicated home theater system room can transform the unused area in your 
basement into the hotspot of your home.

If you’re looking to purchase a home theater system, you have a lot of decisions ahead of you. In our free booklet, we go over all the components that make up a home 
theater system. You’ll learn what each component does and what to keep in mind when you make your final decision. If you’re thinking of turning your den into a fully 
functioning home theater, our free booklet will help you get started.  You can download your free booklet at http://www.njhometheaters.com.

Here is a tale of woe that you’ve probably heard before. You come across some valuable home movies that you should copy off to a DVD and then, guess what!?! It’s happened to me! I’ll show you the results of my first 16mm sound films from the 1960s that I recently discovered in my collection. Both the separate audio tape soundtrack and the 16mm film exists and I was anxious to bring them together again for YouTube viewers. The final result might make film collectors ill.
