Just turn off the phone, dim out the room, make yourself as comfortable as possible in your favorite coach and dive into the magic of cinema because for the next hour and a half you'll be enjoying the experience of having a home theater!
With a good set of components you'll be able to virtually feel the movie. Believe me on this one -- the right "ingredients" will make it a real pleasure every time you watch a movie, no matter what.
However good this may sound, it's true. But sadly, as everything else in life you'll have to work hard to make everything perfect. I had the tough experience of not knowing how to combine everything to make a really excellent home theater.
I had to buy stuff just to find out later that it's complete garbage. Thank God I have my own business so I could afford this, but still it was wasted money and most importantly wasted time. Time that I could spend enjoying the latest Hollywood movie, or an ever-green classic!
Of course, eventually I decided to educated myself. I went to ask a few friends about the how's and what's, I bought some hi-tech magazines and I went online to search for answers (which later proved to be my smartest move).
Pretty much of the information was nothing more than pure ads trying to sell me their stuff... but why am I so surprised, that's what 99% of the Internet is all about -- hype and ads, ads, ads (yuck).
Eventually I found a few sites and a few articles with useful information and tips. Additionally there are some electronic books available these days as well as some guides in various online bookstores.
My advice -- use your favorite search engine and you'll quickly find all the information on home theater design and setup and best of all -- you'll save time and money. You really can't imagine how many useful sites are out there these days. The Internet is full of information and best of all it's free information as I said above -- so why not take advantage of all the goods out there and use it to setup the perfect home theater for you.
I'd start with a simple home theater design then read more and expand on it, play around with various different elements, use some creative thinking, maybe even ask at a few forums if my setup is good and only then proceed to actually buying the components.

Thus, one of the most important characteristics of the home theater is the manner in which it has been designed. The designing of the home theater can be done in the following manner:
1 - The most important thing to be decided while planning and designing the home theater room is to select the perfect location in your residence as there are different preferences by different people, some like to put the home theater in the living room and others prefer specially constructed new rooms in their homes for their home theater system. The home theater design should always suit the d'cor of the room wherever it is placed.
2 - Light - The availability of light is the most crucial factor which must be considered. The light should be adjusted in such a manner that the movie can be easily seen and viewers are easily able to get to their seats. But, the brightness of the light must be minimal when the movie begins. Also, the lighting must not shine directly into the line of sight of the viewers. The availability of light can be controlled by using a dimmer switch which is very easy to install and use.
3 - Speaker Placement -The arrangement and placement of the speakers should be logical and appropriate since the higher audio quality results in making the movie more life like and realisticl. The sound is the most important part of the home theater because it leaves an unforgettable impression over the audience.
4 - The next most important factor that affects the designing of the home theater is the seating. Home theater seating should not be arranged in an unorganized layout, rather the seating arrangement must always be laid out in a very systemic organized fashion so that no person feels crowded or congested. You should always get the comfortable chairs with wide armrests, sliding footrests, etc. so that no one should feel uneasy while watching movies.
5 - It is recommended if you are ready to invest a little bit more on your home theater system, to get a quality projector screen in order to make the movie experience more realistic and original.
6 - The setting of furniture also plays an important role in the designing of the home theater.
