Home cinema, also commonly called
home theater or
home theatre, refers to home entertainment systems that seek to reproduce a
movie theater experience and mood using video and
audio equipment in or outside a private home. As of 2015, system users typically use a large projected image from a
video projector or a large flat-screen high-resolution
HDTV system, a
movie or other video content on a DVD or high-resolution
Blu-ray disc, which is played on a DVD player or Blu-ray player, with the audio augmented with five or more
surround sound speakers and a low-frequency
subwoofer.
