Wireless Home Theatre Makes it’s Debut
If you’ve hidden, or tripped over wires and cables with your other electronics, you’ll know what to expect when you install your home theatre system. Even though wireless is only available in Japan at the moment, soon you’ll be able to enjoy this innovative invention, and your home theatre won’t be tied up with wires all over the room. When wireless spreads around the world, it will change home theatres forever.
Several companies have prepared to launch wireless systems in the near future in North America and elsewhere. Panasonic and Sony, as usual, are the leaders in the technology. They’ve recently unveiled state-of-the-art systems that use infrared technology that will connect your components without having to labor to hide wiring.
The TV, speakers and receiver will be integrated with light to operate together with a single remote control unit. This will be a quantum leap in home theatre technology that will change the market for the better.
Some units include a main LED display that operates the DVD player. This provides for better control over the network functions and better calibration between DVD player and the speakers.
The DVD player will be able to access the internet via ethernet connection that will enable it to perform tasks using the same connectivity as your PC. You’ll be able to download, play and interface with other players over internet once these systems are unveiled.
Technique
The speakers are connected using a calibration technique that recognizes the speaker wherever it is placed, and communicates through a digital language specific to the components. Color-coded speakers, easy to identify and set up, will be managed by the remote which enables it to make adjustments with push-button convenience.
If you want to increase the bass, for instance, you’ll be able to use the remote to do it, plus other fine-tuning functions. But the biggest selling-point is obviously elimination of cumbersome wiring that can become damaged or disconnected over time, and need to be hidden to prevent damage or loss of aesthetics.
Wires become difficult to access and repair once disconnected or damaged, so you’ll appreciate the convenience offered by this new innovation in the home theatre market. Wireless home theatre promises to be a big hit with consumers.
