Question 3

Are there different types of home theatre systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are.

Home theatres differ in the number of channels that they have. The stereo system that had the left and right speaker and a subwoofer is a 2.1-channel home theatre system.

The more common one that had 2 speakers beside the tv, one in the middle and two further away as well as a subwoofer is the 5.1 channel system. The first number in the system i.e 2 and 5, represents the number of speakers while the last digit .1 indicates the sub-woofers present.

There is also the soundbar which comes with the left and right channels attached to the center channel. It could be a portable BlueTooth device that allows you to enjoy your sound wherever you go. It also helps save up on space as you will have fewer speakers around the house.

Question 5

Are all home theatre systems Bluetooth enabled?
