5.1 home theatre systems have been popular – because they offer better audio quality and surround system than regular two-channel home theatre.
As there are several options, choosing a single model can be difficult. We have provided few main factors to consider while purchasing a 5.1 home theatre.
1. Connectivity
Usually, there are three different connectivity options – HDMI, WiFi, and Bluetooth. If you have to stream wirelessly from a tablet or smartphone, then A/V receiver connectivity is required for pairing up. When it comes to WiFi, it is much similar to the printer integration within home network. Bluetooth is actually less used or preferred option as the audio will be compressed while streaming.
2. Surround Sound
There are popular surround sound codecs – DTS and Dolby. These are software programs which are designed to receive incoming sounds, blend them and distribute evenly through the speakers. Usually, Dolby is better option compared to DTS as it provides more theatric experience.
