Tired Of Solving Computer Issues Yourself?

Sacramento Home Theater Service

So you want to watch movies in style without dragging your feet down the busy Sacramento theater scene? With today’s home theater technology, this can easily be a reality. There are more options than ever before for home entertainment, whether television, movies, or streaming internet media. You can hook your computer up to your TV and surround sound system, wirelessly attach your tablet device and smartphone, as well as a number of other home theater gadgets. Now how to set it all up? The initial effort involved in creating a solid home theater system can be daunting and may scare some people from making the step. That’s where we at Nerds On Call come into play.

We can set your whole home theater up! Even more than that, we can help you pick out what you need – even as far as going to the store, (like the Sacramento Fry’s) with you.  Since we have no interest in gaining commission off what you buy, we’re able to suggest what’s actually best for you and not what makes us the most money. We believe that home entertainment should be a great outlet to just relax and unwind – not get all spun in circles trying to understand complex technical lingo. We’d like to share what we know with you so you can enjoy your theater in peace.

Our Nerds are all based right here in Sacramento – so we know the local stores that will get you the best deals and know where to get all the components that you’ll need to assemble a radical relaxation system. So give us a call or click that chat icon below to get started!

Questions nerds often hear about Sacramento Home Theater

Is Home Theater expensive?

Every computer problem is different. We give free estimates so you can get a good idea of exactly what you need.

Common Terms

HDMI

A High-Definition Multimedia Interface cable is the modern standard for trasmitting high-definition digital video and audio. HDMI cables can carry both standard and 3D video as well as surround sound audio and internet. For this reason, most modern game consoles and televisions use HDMI to interface with computers or set-top boxes.

RCA

RCA connectors, also called phono connectors, are analog cables and have been used for years to transmit standard definition video and audio. RCA cables for home theater are usually seen in triples: a yellow video jack, and the red and white stereo audio cables.

S/PDIF

The Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format is used for transmitting digital audio. It can carry multiple channels and is often used in home theater systems where HDMI does not carry audio

NTSC/PAL

NTSC and PAL are two types of encoding video signals: NTSC is used in the Americas, while PAL is widely used in the rest of the world. Devices designed to play NTSC content cannot play PAL content, and vice versa.

Sur­round Speak­ers

5.1, 6.1 and others refer to speaker configurations. A 5.1 speaker system has five (5) satellite speakers and one (1) subwoofer. This is the standard method of referring to speaker configurations. For instance, a 3.3 sound system would be a strange one with three satellite speakers and three subwoofers
