How To Install Wireless Surround Sound Systems

Everyone tries to create their own home theater with the best speakers that allow them to watch their movies and shows surrounded by high quality sound. Watching a movie in high-def is not so good when you are constantly having to rely on the sound coming directly from the television.

As great as it is to have a home theater the one problem that people run into is trying to install a system that comes with tons of wires and cords. It is rather difficult to find ways to hide the many wires and it limits where you are able to place each of the speakers. Installing a wireless system is much easier and will take you half the time.

  • The first thing you will need to do is to install the wireless transmitter close to the receiver of the home theater system. This needs to be wired to the right and left channel audio outputs of the system. Make sure that this unit is using its own power outlet or is connected to a surge protector.
  • Remove the standard wiring from each speaker around the room. There are some systems that will require you to wire the back speakers to the receiver – but not many. While these systems are not completely wireless the wires are much shorter then normal and therefore easier to work with.
  • You are now ready to wire the speakers to the receiver. There are some systems that will use a small receiver for every speaker it comes with or that will connect directly to it or that will sit under the speaker. Make sure that you are connecting the right speaker with the right receiver.
  • Now you are able to turn it on and play a movie to see that everything is connected properly. You might need to switch some of the channels on the transmitters and receivers. They should all be on the same channel in order to work right.
  • When you know that it is working right and you have set all the settings to the way you want then you are ready to connect other media players. Use the extra inputs to connect your stereo to the wireless transmitter. The majority of systems will give you two or three input sources.
