Sales manager Daren Egan thinks they enhance soundtrack playback. In the back of a surround system, you don't want to know exactly where the sound is coming from. DVDs provide much better picture quality than VHS movies and are recorded in DD, so the sound is better, too. DVD players can play CDs, and the most innovative ones feature progressive-scan technology for enhanced resolution. HDTVs are much longer to match movie format.
Consumers pay dearly for the technology.
Neither does Michael Toto. Ga. Installers reinforce ceilings, too, for front-projection equipment. Then they have to precisely level the units so the projected image doesn't drift. That's partly due to the devices' tricky video wiring, which channels red, green, and blue signals through separate wires. Speaker wiring is fairly simple, but audio component wiring can get complicated.
