For nearly everyone, the process of audio visual installation is no more involved than taking their new plasma or LCD TV out of a very big cardboard box and plugging it into a home cinema system, pressing the on switch and waiting for the auto set up program to run.

If you’ve bought a low cost home cinema system and TV that’s probably good enough but to be reasonable to the makers, you should dedicate some time to following the installation instructions fairly.

But who isn’t in a hurry at this moment!

Suppose however that you have invested in top quality audio visual kit and have an excellent quality high definition LCD or plasma display or perhaps a projector then it is often worth getting a qualified AV Installer to help configure and set up your equipment so that you get a top quality audio and visual experience.

There is little point in owning top flight electronics and paying insufficient attention to setting it up carefully. 

Careful AV installation really does matter. It makes a huge 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 large 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 competent AV technician will explain how he works without boring and baffling you with too much technical jargon but never forget that the ultimate judge of your AV Installation is you.
