home theater system the challenge The Chen family was renovating the basement of their guest house off their suburban Illinois home. They wanted to transform the space into an entertainment area, complete with video games and a pool table. As part of the new space, they also wanted to install a home theater system. In addition, since the upstairs of the guest house doubles as office space for their marketing communications firm 2GC, they envisioned using the room and technology to deliver business presentations to clients. the solution The Chens worked with audiovisual dealer Sights & Sounds to plan the installation, deciding on a high-end system incorporating THX-certified audio and a hi-definition satellite receiver with a built in off-air digital tuner. For the actual image, it was decided that a home theater projector was the best solution, since the chosen projector could produce an image of sufficient size and quality to match the superior acoustics – creating a true movie theater experience. Chen heard raves from friends and business associates about NEC’s award-winning home theater projector, featuring an intense color palette, sharp contrast, and fine details that produce superior film-like images. NEC’s projector was the perfect technology to work in tandem with the theater’s 106” diagonal screen. A contractor came in and built out the basement, framing up the walls and completing the architectural work. Next, Sights & Sounds installed the theater, adding plush movie theater-style seating, a BNK system, a THX-certified audio system, a hi-definition satellite receiver and a DVD player. Everything from the lighting in the room to the projector was rigged to run from a single remote for ultimate east of use. applications at the forefront of technology frontline

the Chens to realize significant savings versus a competitive product. In addition, the projector’s built-in processing is superior to the progressive scan processing built into DVD players and competitive projectors. This enables the installation of a $300-$400 DVD player instead of a high- end $1,500 player – without any difference in image quality. In addition, the NEC projector is so quiet and small that visitors often don’t even notice that it is ceiling-mounted in the room. And its ability to handle computer sources, a feature lacking in some other home theater projectors, serves Chen’s business needs well. “We love the projector’s dual purposes,” said Chen. “I can easily hook up my laptop and project presentations for clients. In addition, we watch hi-def television and DVDs in the theater, and the image that the NEC projector displays is stunning. We entertain a lot more, from movie night to sporting events, and even a quiet evening at home watching TV.” "We love the projector’s dual purposes (business and entertainment). The image that the NEC projector displays is stunning." NEC is a registered trademark of NEC Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
