A "home theater in a box" (HTIB) is a common name for a relatively inexpensive integrated Home Entertainment package, usually including a DVD player, Surround Sound capability, and a Radio Tuner in one box. While they lack the features of a custom-assembled Home Theater system, HTIBs are an inexpensive (and generally space-efficient) way to take advantage of the surround sound capabilities of the DVD format. They are manufactured by most makers of consumer electronics; Bose in particular markets their integrated home theater systems especially aggressively, though other traditional manufacturers such as Sony , Philips , and Panasonic market systems that tend to be considerably cheaper. An HTIB generally consists of a central receiver unit which usually contains a DVD player (some systems separate the DVD player into a separate unit) and a radio tuner and a series of speakers for surround sound use, generally including a Subwoofer . The speaker cabinets are generally fairly small compared to typical stereo speakers, and are meant for wall or shelf mounting in tight spaces. ''HTIB systems typically do not include a Television Set or Monitor to display the visual material with.'' |
