If you want a home theater in a hurry at the lowest possible cost, a home theater in a box might be for you.
A home theater in a box is an all-in-one system that typically includes speakers, an AV receiver for surround sound, a DVD player, a remote control and the cables you need to install everything together.
Just add a big-screen TV and you’re at the movies!
Theater-in-a-box systems cost from $200 to $2,000, depending on the quality of its components. You can buy them at big-box electronics stores.
These aren’t fancy, high-end home theater systems, but they’re a way to get started if your budget is tight.
