"Hello, Reggie Hayes here, with Expert Village. And, let's talk about lighting in your home theater system. Lighting can really set the mood for your movies and things like that; it can help you enjoy watching your movies a lot better. One option you may want to do is we have our components here installed, as we have mentioned, our stereo's up here breathing very happily, we have our DVD player right here, and we have a light under here which shines down on our DVD's and that way when it's dark you can still see what number, DVD's and things like that. So, we'll but this off and send that away. But we also have this light over here in the corner. Now these are dimmer lights. They're operated off the remote control that we have programmed here. So I can flip over, and go to lighting, and I can take it down to a theater mode, and we have other lighting in here, so it might be kind of hard to really show this right now, but you should be able to see these two lights dimming at the same time. They're connected together off the dimmer that we've hooked up over here. Now, I've taken them down to dim, I can take them up to full bright, which would be something like at night when you're just watching regular TV, or, I can take them off, when you go to bed. And it's all completely programmed off the remote control, so you don't have to have all these remote controls and you don't have to go find the switch, and all that stuff, it's all right here. You don't have to leave your couch. So, think about lighting and explore around, there's all kinds of options that you can do with home theater lighting."
