    I have a PC with Media Center and Power DVD Player to play my DVD's. I have burned a lot of my movies to the hard drive, but when I pull up the list of movies on my drive it just list the name of the movie. Is there anyway that you can list the title and show the cover (picture) of the DVD to help remember the what the movie is about? If so, how do I do it?

    When setting up your home theater you can create Hollywood ambiance by placing Hollywood themed decorations! They add excitement. Like film reels, clapboards, movie posters or stills. I got some at Hollywoodmegastore and they have very good prices.

    When setting up your speakers, take a piece of string and tape it gently to the tweeter. Extend it to your usual seating area, keeping it at ear level. This is effective because tweeters provide the most directional sound. Repeat with all speakers.

    Make sure that, when you set up a surround-sound system, you make all the wires the same length. Sound travels through the wire.

    Speakers sound different depending on where they are placed so try different positions to get the best sound - even a small movement can make quite a difference. The nearer they are to a wall or corner the bass will increase but may become boomy.

    When setting up your home theater system, make sure to label your interconnection cords. Should you have a problem with one of your components, you can track down the connections that are suspect. You can buy labels at Radio Shack or other audio stores or you can do what I did and just label them with masking tape and a pen. You will also want to label your AC plugs in case you have to unplug a component to reset it or remove it for servicing. The last thing you want to do is unplug the VCR and have to reprogram it when you really want to unplug your DVD for servicing.
