We bring the magic
People don’t remember the TV brand or the size. They remember how the room felt.
Home Entertainment Setup, Done the Right Way
Setting up a home entertainment system isn’t about buying the biggest screen or the newest gear. It’s about how the room works, seating distance, mounting height, sound placement, lighting, and how everything comes together.
At Audio Video Synergy, we’ve been helping homeowners design and install home entertainment systems since 2010. Our team focuses on room-first recommendations, proper installation, and clean setup so the system feels right long after the boxes are gone.
This page brings together our most common setups for TVs, mounting, soundbars, surround sound, and large screens—designed around how people actually watch at home.
Start With the Room, Not the Gear
Most home entertainment problems don’t come from the equipment, they come from skipping the room. Screen size, mounting height, sound placement, lighting, and seating all affect how the experience feels. When those pieces are off, even great gear can disappoint.
That’s why every setup we recommend starts with how the room is used, not what’s on sale.
Four Home Entertainment Setups We Recommend Most
Most problems we see aren’t caused by bad equipment they’re caused by equipment that doesn’t fit the room.
These are the four setups we recommend most often, based on how people actually watch at home, seating distance, room layout, lighting, and daily use. Each one solves a different problem, and each is installed with the same attention to detail.
TV Size & Mounting That Feels Natural
A TV should sit comfortably in the room, not dominate it or disappear. Size and mounting height matter more than most people expect, especially once you live with the setup every day.
We help homeowners choose a screen size based on where they sit, then mount it at the correct height for comfortable viewing, without neck strain or glare. Cable management and soundbar placement are planned before anything goes on the wall.
What this setup focuses on:
-
Screen size matched to seating distance
-
Proper mounting height for seated viewing
-
Clean cable routing and power planning
-
Soundbar or speaker placement considered upfront
TV Mounting Services
Soundbars Designed for Clear Dialogue
If voices are hard to hear, the experience falls apart. Soundbars can be a great solution when they’re sized correctly, placed properly, and chosen for the room, not just the brand name.
We focus on clarity first, then balance. That means matching the soundbar to the room size, placing it where it can actually perform, and adjusting settings so dialogue stays clear without constant volume changes.
What this setup focuses on:
-
Dialogue clarity at normal listening levels
-
Proper placement under the TV (not inside cabinets)
-
Room-appropriate soundbar selection
-
Clean integration with the TV and remotes
Surround Sound That Feels Immersive, Not Overwhelming
Surround sound works best when it feels natural. When speaker placement and tuning are done correctly, the room opens up without drawing attention to the system itself.
We design surround sound around the room—not a generic diagram. Speaker placement, center channel clarity, and system tuning are all handled with everyday viewing in mind, not just action scenes.
What this setup focuses on:
-
Clear center channel for voices
-
Speaker placement based on room layout
-
Balanced surround effects, not excess volume
-
Simple control for daily use
Large Screens and Projectors, Done Carefully
Going bigger changes the room. When it’s done right, it feels cinematic. When it’s rushed, it feels overwhelming.
We help homeowners decide between large-format TVs and projectors based on lighting, seating distance, and how the room is used day to day. Power, cabling, and screen placement are planned so the space stays clean and comfortable.
What this setup focuses on:
-
Large-screen TV vs projector guidance
-
Bright-room vs dark-room performance
-
Screen size matched to viewing distance
-
Clean wiring and unobtrusive installation
