MARKET TRENDS

SCREEN TEST
Twenty-first century technology is making home theater componentsand yes, that starts with the television desirable and affordable
fter we asked suppliers for information about home theater products, we thought perhaps we had erred in wording our request: Everything we got in return had a television featured prominently. So many TVs, in fact, that we wondered where all the other equipment was. As it turns out, the suppliers were right on the money. The television, of course, is the centerpiece of the home theater. The display device is by definition something youre going to use to watch movies, as opposed to watching Oprah, says Andrew Singer, proprietor of high-end audio shop Sound by Singer in New York. That, he says, should form the primary purchase in a home theater setup. Decide what you want, he says, and get the best you can afford. Deserving recipients certainly wont argue with such a sophisticated award designed for maximum enjoyment. But the array of choice in todays marketplace can pose a dilemma for purchasers. For example, there is the choice between plasma sets and projection sets. Plasma screens are available up to 65 inches, but projection sets can be virtually unlimited in size. Unless youre going to buy that Imax Theater a deserving colleague mentioned as a preferred incentive, chances are youll want to keep things fairly simple. Most programs will allow achievers to choose their own reward;
in the event its a television, consult with the recipient ahead of time. That can avoid a disappointing choice, one that overwhelms the room (rear-projection units can be up to 20 inches deep; plasma units tend to be much flatter), or isnt right for their viewing purposes. The home theater setup comprises many components, and the average consumer can hardly be faulted for not grasping its increasing complexity. For example, surround-sound systems now have seven channels, up from five just a couple of years ago. Singer suggests carefully assessing needs before buying. Rewards earners should be good consumers first: People need to ask, What do I want this thing to do? Singer says. Is it for movies? Or do I just want to listen to music? Ken Emmer, a Somerset, New Jersey-based consultant, says that its rare for companies to build incremental programs that would encompass, say, a television, followed by a receiver or speakers. People tend to earn it all right away, he says. That makes so-called home-theater-ina-box a reasonable choice. It has common appeal, says Dan Hodgson, senior vice president for electronics retailer Crutchfield. The simplicity gives people the choice of one package. On the other hand, gift cards give the recipient an opportunity to shop for something more sophisticated. Jonathan Pont

PANASONIC 42-INCH PLASMA SCREEN TV
You might say this television covers the whole picture, starting with its built-in HDTV tuner that lets you enjoy anything in rich detail, whether it be sports, movies, or concerts. Even so, youll notice something missing: the cable box. Thats because this model (TH42PD25U/P) holds a chip-embedded card that can take the place of the box (call your local cable company to see if they offer the card). Another notable feature: the HighDefinition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), a new standard that combines high-definition video and multi-channel audio connectivity in a single cable. (201) 392-6198

Wireless Home Entertainment System
Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug This apparatus is tted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
Hereby, Philips Consumer Electronics, BCU Audio Video Entertainment, declares that this product MX6000i is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BSAmp, A.S.T.A. or

BSI approved type.

3 Ret the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug tted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. How to connect a plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
Typeskilt nnes p apparatens bakside. Observer: Nettbryteren er sekundert innkoplet. Den innebygde netdelen er derfor ikke frakoplet nettet s lenge apparatet er tilsluttet nettkontakten. For redusere faren for brann eller elektrisk stt, skal apparatet ikke utsettes for regn eller fuktighet.
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow). Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.
