What is the difference between Home Theater and a Media Room?
In the strictest sense, a Home Theater is a dedicated room with a large screen (usually front projection) television, a Dolby Digital and/or DTS audio system with subwoofers, THX certified equipment for audio and formal seating for viewing. A media room is a family room with a home theater system integrated with the television. Media rooms can come in all sizes and forms. Home Theater and Media Room terms are usually used interchangably by the press.
