Home cinema systems have increased in popularity since the release of dvd players. It seems people want to get the most out of their dvd collection, be it either the display or sound. Home cinema systems are reponsible for both. The dvd player displays the moving pictures, and the A/V receiver and speakers performs the sound functions, be it Dolby Digital or DTS.
The recent release of Bluray has improved the visual quality of cinema systems. A DVD player is noted as a source unit and can be easily replaced with a Bluray player.

Jamo Home Cinema Sound Kit
Great quality sound and easy to setup for a techno novice like myself.
The Jamo home cinema sound kit I bought included 5 speakers and the
speakers included are Active sub-woofer for bass impact Improved Bass
, 70watts RMS power output - Front Speakers , 70watts RMS power output
- Centre speaker , 70watts RMS power output - Rear speakers and a 70watts
RMS Power output - subwoofer. The good point about the Jamo speakers
is that they are magnetically shielded speakers and this prevents interference
with other audio/visual equipment you have installed in your room.
The whole Jamo home cinema sound kit produces 420watts total RMS power output and this is the maximum power output of the Hifi. Obviously if you are looking to buy a home cinema sound kit you take on board that the larger watt output from the sound kit results in greater volume and improved sound quality.
