Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This isn’t a bad guide, just not what I was looking for. If you want detailed explanations for the various technologies (HDMI v1 compared to 1.3), this is a decent book. However, I was hoping for a lot more illustrations about how to do things (set up a home theater wiring patch panel, layout speakers for a 7.1 setup). I was amazed at how few illustrations were included. This topic cries out for pictures to illuminate the discussion, and this book just didn’t provide any.Also, the book doesn’t really help guide you in planning your own home theater. It is more of a pre-shopping guide so that you are better informed than the average sales guy at Best Buy.There’s a lot of good information online at places like Crutchfield (with illustrations), so I was hoping for more from something I had to pay money for.

⭐This is the best book! Of course all of the Dummies Books are great. I knew just enough about Home Theaters to be dangerous. This book guided me through equipment, setup and how to adjust the settings to get the most out of your home theater. I bought it for my Kindle and like it so much and wanted to be able to use it as a reference I bought the book also. I would recommend this book to anyone even those that have some experience with home theaters.

⭐With the help of this book, I was able to correct mistakes in my setup made by a major electronics store and their retained experts (I avoid names to stay out of trouble). Now, if something goes wrong, I can trouble-shoot and fix, capabilities that I did not have previously. Don’t expect, however, to become an expert overnight! This is useful, not a panacea.

⭐Need to update to current technology. Copyright is 10 years old.

⭐Unfortunately it old , because it does cover Dolby ATMOS.

⭐looks fine

⭐This book has not been updated since 2009! I am way beyond DVD and VHS already and I need to learn a LOT MORE! Not worth the price.https://www.amazon.com/dp/0470411899/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0
