For most people, the procedure for audio visual installation is no more involved than pulling their new LCD or plasma TV from a enormous cardboard box and connecting it to a home cinema system, pressing the “on” button and waiting for the auto set up program to run.

If you’ve bought a cheap home cinema system and TV that’s probably enough but to be fair to the manufacturer, you ought to allocate some time to reading the set up instructions quite closely.

But we are all in a hurry at this moment!

But just suppose that you have purchased better quality audio visual kit and have a high quality, high definition LCD or plasma display or even a projector then it is often worth getting a suitably qualified AV Installer to help you configure and set up your system so that you get a top quality audio and visual experience.

There is no point in owning top flight electronics and paying hardly any attention to setting it up carefully. 

Careful AV installation does matter. It makes a big difference.

AV Installers are true experts in image and sound calibration. They can help you get the best from your equipment using specialist technical equipment of their own. But if you are after a top quality AV installation and have a reasonably substantial budget then you should consider using an AV installer to help you specify the equipment you need in the first place. The ideal system should take into account the quality of the space and acoustics of your home cinema so that you get the cinema quality AV experience you want. Large rooms with high ceilings and hard reflective surfaces need entirely different settings on your amplifier than low rooms with plush carpets and curtains.

A qualified AV technician will show you how he works without boring and bamboozling you with too much technical jargon but never forget that the ultimate judge of your AV Installation is you.
