   Another important aspect to a home theater is the amount of light in the room. Is there a lot of outside light that makes it into the room? The proper lighting can create perfect atmosphere for a home theater. Obviously when you are watching a movie you would like to have little or no light in the room. However, if you are entertaining guest for a major sporting event there has to be proper light so your guest don't have to move around and mingle in the dark.

3. Size of the Room
   One of the first things to consider when building a home theater is the size of the room. Whether you have a dedicated room or a multi-purpose room. The size of the room determines where and how the components of the theater should be installed. Determining the size of the room provides answers like:
   • Where to place the projector?
   • How big of a projector screen should I get?
   • What speakers should I get?
   • Where should I place the speakers?
   • How many chairs/loungers should I get?
