If you don't have a home theater in your house, then you certainly have one on your life wish list. In that magical land of Someday, you can see a room devoted entirely to electronic entertainment. That big screen plasma TV, the magnificent sound system, the latest in DVD/ CD players, maybe an S-video player, digital or high definition cable or satellite TV with a full sports package, digital music, and theater-quality chairs.

There'll be remote controls for every imaginable reason - including dimming the lights. Maybe there'll even be a snack counter with your favorite beverages on draft, big boxes of candy and a real popcorn popper. If only it were as easy to install as it is to imagine. The good news is that the easy part is getting more available thanks to products like Denon home cinema in a box.

Good Things Come in …

By packaging all the necessary components, products like the Denon home cinema in a box make things a bit easier to install. For one thing, everything comes ready to install. The cables are there and so are the connectors. Those are the parts that you're never really sure of and usually wind up forgetting anyway.

Then there's the fact that the electronic components are made to work together. What's worse than bringing a bunch of electronics home and finding that the speakers don't quite work with the subwoofer? And how many times have you tried to set things up only to discover that the manual for Unit A doesn't tell you how to hook it up to Unit B. And the manual for Unit B only covers other units made by the same company? Not a problem when you get something like the Denon home cinema in a box. The instructions are for the entire set of everything.

Once you get your Denon home cinema in a box home, you only have to unpack it, hook it together and decide where to put everything. Before you know it, you're settled on a comfortable chair watching your favorite movie and planning to buy a bigger TV.
