In Sydney, there is a feeding frenzy of sorts going on at the moment. There has been a mad dash for wide screen TVs which are digital ready, as well as for home theater systems as Australia continues to modernize on the back of a very healthy economy. Many companies are out there who would love to sell you one of these expensive systems - and they will do what it takes to sell you they best system they have,
But you should not be fooled by most of them.
The systems which are on offer form these retailers are identical, save for the brand names on the casing. There is a limited number of manufacturers of these home theaters and wide screen TVs and there is no secret manufacturer which only one shop can get for you.
Also, these shops pay their sales personnel on a commission basis, meaning that hey are more occupied with the size of their paycheck than they are with selling you a home theater system which actually meets your needs.
Neither will these retailers install your system for you. They are unconcerned with the setup of your home, whether you have the space for a given system or much of anything else beyond selling you the most expensive system in the store or the one which they need to reduce inventory levels of. There is little chance that you will be asked any questions to determine whether the system they are pushing is right for your home.
The systems which they will try to sell you are also those which are the most elaborate and require the highest degree of technical skill to install and set up. The more complicated a system looks, after all. The more features it must have, right? Sales staff will play upon this in an attempt to sell more of these systems.
YOU will have a terrible time trying to put this system together yourself in your home, and it will drive you nuts trying to separate all those wires, put them in the right places, and keep them from getting tangled or being an eyesore. And good luck and pack a lunch as you try to get the remotes correctly coordinated. Hook something up wrong and you may even damage your system and that won't be covered by the flimsy warranty.
At best, you may get a referral to a service provider from the retailer. This service provider will come out to your home and install the home theater system for you - for a hefty price. This fee is of course not included in the price of the system itself.
Even worse, if the service provider makes some kind of error in setup, the retailer will be of no help to you. And if the retailer has sold you a system which does not work for your home, the service provider will similarly be of no help to you and you will simply have lost time and money - a lot of money.
Your best net is to go to a specialty shop for home theater electronics. This will save you untold time, money and headaches.
You can sit down and assess your needs with a independent electronics consultant who will work with you to figure out which system is right for your home and will set up everything for you just right. This will include a guarantee and support over the long term as well.
Don't even think about buying a home theatre entertainment system until you meet with such a consultant.
