Home cinema, also called home theater, seeks to reproduce
cinema quality video and audio in the home.Technically, a home cinema could be as basic as a simple arrangement of a
television,
DVD, and a set of
speakers. It is therefore difficult to specify exactly what distinguishes a "home cinema" from a "television and stereo". Most people in the consumer electronics industry would agree that a "home theater" is really the integration of a relatively high-quality video output with
surround sound.
