Sydney has seen a massive rise in the demand for home theater systems and widescreen, digital-ready TV sets. Australia is experiencing a healthy economy at the moment and continues to modernize. Many shops in the city would love nothing more than to sell you ne of these expensive home entertainment systems and will stop at almost nothing to get you the best system which they have in stock.
But you shouldn't let them fool you.
For starters, the systems offered by most retailers are identical in every respect other than brand name. There are only so many companies making these high end home theater systems, after all. None of these retailers have their own private, secret manufacturer who no one else knows about.
Also, these shops pay their sales personnel on a commission basis, meaning that hey are more occupied with the size of their paycheck than they are with selling you a home theater system which actually meets your needs.
Neither will these retailers install your system for you. They are unconcerned with the setup of your home, whether you have the space for a given system or much of anything else beyond selling you the most expensive system in the store or the one which they need to reduce inventory levels of. There is little chance that you will be asked any questions to determine whether the system they are pushing is right for your home.
These systems are typically the most elaborate, they have the most wires to run, the most remote controls to coordinate and program, the most components. The more complex the home theatre system looks, the more the buyer thinks it must have more features and benefits, and the more the sales rep plays upon that perception to sell the system.
YOU will have a terrible time trying to put this system together yourself in your home, and it will drive you nuts trying to separate all those wires, put them in the right places, and keep them from getting tangled or being an eyesore. And good luck and pack a lunch as you try to get the remotes correctly coordinated. Hook something up wrong and you may even damage your system and that won't be covered by the flimsy warranty.
The company who sold you the system may provide you a referral to a company who will come out and set the system up for you - for a substantial fee; this is not included in the price of the system.
It gets worse: if the setup company does something wrong, the retailer can't help you at all. And if the system doesn't fit in your home, the setup company can't help you with that. If both steps go awry, you lose out big time.
You would be best served by going to a home theater electronics specialist. You can save a lot of time and money this way, not to mention hassle.
The way to do this is to use an unbiased, independent electronics consultant who will: sit down with you and discuss your needs and desires concerning a home entertainment system right in the comfort of your own home; take full responsibility for setting it up for you exactly the way it looked in the store or better, which includes giving you a certifiable guarantee; and remain available to you over the long term.
Don't even think about buying a home theatre entertainment system until you have met with such a consultant.
