如果说厨房是家的心脏，那么家庭影院(home theater)就是大脑。您的家庭影院(home theater)是您在漫长的一天结束后放松身心并狂欢(day and binge)观看您最喜爱的节目的地方。当您观看最新的惊悚片时，您会坐在那里满怀期待。在这里，您可以一劳永逸地宣布您在《马里奥赛车(Mario Kart)》中的完全统治地位。
正是由于所有这些原因以及更多，确定您的家庭影院设置(home theater setup)是如此重要。使用正确的智能配件组合，您可以创建一个智能家庭影院系统(home theater system)，让任何每晚 12 美元的夜晚都相形见绌，而且还能买到爆米花。
投影仪，或者如何停止担心和爱这部电影(The Projector, Or How To Stop Worrying & Love The Film)
您对家庭影院(home theater)的第一个想法可能是投资一台大屏幕电视，虽然这对于较小的房间来说很好，但这是关于终极(ultimate)智能家庭影院(home theater)的。考虑到这一点，您将需要一台投影仪——最好是 4K 投影仪。
LG HU80KA(LG HU80KA)是最好的选择之一。它可以在具有HDR10 兼容性(HDR10 compatibility)的水晶般清晰的 4K 分辨率下在合适的表面上投影长达 150 英寸。它还具有 LG 的智能电视(Smart TV)流媒体服务，以及来自连接的智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)的屏幕共享。
来自有爱的条形音箱(From Sound Bar With Love)
非凡的画面值得拥有同等的声音，很少有音响系统能比Sonos 5.1 环绕声套装做得更好。(Sonos 5.1 Surround Set.)它结合了条形音箱的最佳方面和实际环绕声系统(surround sound system)的最佳方面。
Playbar具有由六个中低音扬声器和三个高音扬声器驱动的三声道声音，而带有力消除扬声器 的Sub则为您提供震撼的低音，几乎没有嘎嘎声。
当您只想听一些音乐时，可以通过Amazon Alexa控制整个设置。(Amazon Alexa)不必全都与电影配乐(film score)有关。
这是一个奇妙的灯光系统(It’s a Wonderful Light System)
传统的影院体验还没有意识到适当的灯光设置对观看体验(viewing experience)的影响。虽然在黑暗的房间里看明亮的屏幕让你沉浸在动作中，但它也会导致头痛和眼睛疲劳。
另一方面，智能家庭影院系统(home theater system)中的正确照明可以将其颜色与屏幕上的颜色同步，并将整个房间带入体验。这不仅有助于减轻眼睛的压力，而且会产生一种不会很快被遗忘的效果。
很少有智能照明系统比Nanoleaf Rhythm照明系统更擅长此类工作。它不仅利用 Nanoleaf 的新Screen Mirror 技术(Screen Mirror technology)将显示器的颜色与电影的颜色混合，而且还可以与您播放的任何音乐同步，将您的家庭影院(home theater)变成即兴的狂欢(impromptu rave)。
一架飞过蓝光播放器(One Flew Over The Blu-Ray Player)
尽管您的大部分媒体消费可能来自流媒体资源，但您可能仍然拥有一些物理媒体，例如DVD(DVDs)、蓝光(Blu-Ray)和 4K 光盘。如果没有播放这种媒体的能力，又会是怎样的家庭影院体验(home theater experience)呢？
三星流媒体 4K 媒体播放器( Samsung Streaming 4K media player)可以轻松地直接从设备流式传输，但它也可以将DVD(DVDs)升级到 1080p 以获得更好的画质(picture quality)。将此媒体播放器连接到您的音响系统和投影仪(sound system and projector)，以清晰的分辨率观看您喜爱的电影和家庭电影。
电源板反击(The Power Strip Strikes Back)
家庭影院设置(home theater setup)中涉及的设备数量需要可靠的电源(power supply)。TP Link的Kasa Smart Wi-Fi 电源板(Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip by TP Link)是最好的选择之一，它有六个独立的端口，每个端口都可以相互独立控制。
它还具有三个USB端口，用于为其他设备充电。内置的能源(Built-in energy)监控为您提供了每个设备正在使用多少能源的概览。您也可以通过三个主要语音助手中的任何一个来控制插头。这有什么用？
最重要的是，Kasa 智能 Wi-Fi 电源板(Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip)具有ETL认证的浪涌保护(surge protection)。如果发生雷暴(lightning storm)，此条可以保护您的设备免受突然涌入的电力。
爆米花救赎(The Popcorn Redemption)
最后，没有爆米花机，任何(popcorn maker)家庭影院(home theater)都不完整。虽然您可以选择具有空气煎炸功能的智能设备（例如Instant Pot(an Instant Pot)），但如果您已将智能家庭影院(home theater)配备了最好的其他设备，那么您的爆米花机(popcorn maker)也不例外。
我们推荐Great Northern Popcorn Red Matinee 电影院风格爆米花(Great Northern Popcorn Red Matinee Movie Theater Style Popcorn Maker)机。长名字(Long name)，好爆米花。它为您的家庭影院设置(home theater setup)增添了一些经典的电影院风格(movie theater flair)，每批可以生产 2 到 3 加仑爆米花。内置的加热板(warming deck)可让您的爆米花在整部电影中始终保持温暖，因此您可以根据需要重新填充。
将这些不同的设备组合(Combine)到一个房间中，您将拥有您梦寐以求的智能家庭影院系统(home theater system)，并且每次新剧集播出时，您的朋友都会出现在您家中(Succession)。
The Ultimate Smart Home Theater System: How To Set It Up
If the kitchen is the heart of the home, then the home theater is thе brain. Your home theater іs where you go to unwind at the end of a long day and binge watch your favorite shows. It’s where you sit with breathless anticipation as you watch the latest thrillers. It’s where you declare your total dominance once аnd for all in Mario Kart.
It’s for all of these reasons and more that nailing your home theater setup is so important. With the right combination of smart accessories, you can create a smart home theater system that will put any $12-per-ticket night out to shame – and still get popcorn with it, too.
The Projector, Or How To Stop Worrying & Love The Film
Your first thought for a home theater might be to invest in a large-screen television, and while that’s fine for smaller rooms, this is about the ultimate smart home theater. With that in mind, you’ll want a projector—preferably a 4K one at that.
The LG HU80KA is one of the best options. It can project up to 150 inches on a suitable surface in crystal-clear 4K resolution with HDR10 compatibility. It also features LG’s Smart TV streaming services, as well as screen sharing from a connected smartphone or tablet.
From Sound Bar With Love
A phenomenal picture deserves equal sound, and few sound systems do it better than the Sonos 5.1 Surround Set. It combines the best aspects of a sound bar with the best aspects of an actual surround sound system.
The Playbar features three-channel sound powered by six mid-woofers and three tweeters, while the Sub with force-cancelling speakers give you tremendous bass with next to no rattle.
The entire setup can be controlled through Amazon Alexa for when you just want to listen to some music, too. It doesn’t all have to be about the film score.
It’s a Wonderful Light System
Traditional theater experiences haven’t caught onto the impact a proper light setup can have on the viewing experience. While watching a bright screen in a dark room keeps you immersed in the action, it can also lead to headaches and eyestrain.
On the other hand, the right lighting in a smart home theater system can sync its colors to those on screen and bring the entire room into the experience. Not only does this help ease the strain on your eyes, but it creates an effect that won’t soon be forgotten.
Few smart light systems are better at this sort of work than the Nanoleaf Rhythm lighting system. Not only does it utilize Nanoleaf’s new Screen Mirror technology to blend the colors of the display to those of your movie, but it can also pulse in time with any music you play to turn your home theater into an impromptu rave.
One Flew Over The Blu-Ray Player
Although most of your media consumption will likely come from streaming sources, you likely still have some physical media in the form of DVDs, Blu-Ray, and 4K discs. And what kind of home theater experience would it be without the ability to play this media?
The Samsung Streaming 4K media player makes it easy to stream directly from the device, but it also upscales DVDs to 1080p for even better picture quality. Connect this media player to your sound system and projector and watch your favorite films and home movies in crystal-clear resolution.
The Power Strip Strikes Back
The number of devices involved in a home theater setup require a reliable power supply. The Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip by TP Link is one of the best options out there, with six individual ports that can each be controlled independently of one another.
It also features three USB ports for charging other devices. Built-in energy monitoring provides you with an overview of how much energy each device is using. You can control the plug through any of the three major voice assistants, too. How’s that for useful?
Most importantly, the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip has ETL certified surge protection. In the event of a lightning storm, this strip can protect your devices from a sudden influx of power.
The Popcorn Redemption
Finally, no home theater would be complete without a popcorn maker. While you could go for a smart device with air-frying capabilities (such as an Instant Pot), if you’ve decked out your smart home theater with the best of everything else then your popcorn maker should be no exception.
We recommend the Great Northern Popcorn Red Matinee Movie Theater Style Popcorn Maker. Long name, good popcorn. It adds a bit of classic movie theater flair to your home theater setup with the capability to produce between two and three gallons of popcorn per batch. A built-in warming deck will keep your popcorn warm all throughout the movie so you can refill as needed.
Combine these different devices together into one room and you will have the smart home theater system you’ve always dreamed of—and the one that gets your friends to show up at your house every time a new episode of Succession airs.
