Planning is the most important part of the installation process and, as such, will take up a large portion of this article. Whether you do it yourself or call a professional, figuring out the plasma or LCD screen placement is the first step you need to take. This includes where the home theater system will go, how the main viewing or seating arrangement will be placed around it and what kind of changes may need to be made to the rest of the room. Lighting is key in this respect, as it may involve putting up blinds or shades if you have a very sunny room, or adding backlighting or soft lighting around the screen area to avoid strain on the eyes.
This first stage of the process, planning, also involves figuring out the home theater setup around the power outlets in the room. You should have at least two power outlets that you can use for the various components of the theatre and use plenty of power strips to protect your equipment.
It is also an idea to plan out where you want the wires to go in order to be 'hidden' - over bare floors or carpeting is not a very wise strategy. It is more advisable to lay them out against the baseboard of your walls. Use plastic strips or ties to keep them neatly organized and avoid the 'snake's den' that often occurs after a week or two. Another good idea is to color code the wires using colored stickers and noting down the details on paper for later reference.
