Setting up your home audio and video systems will not only get it ready for company but also allow you to make a good impression on your friends and family.  These tips will help you prepare your home for a safe 4th of July celebration.

Enhance The Night With More Than Fireworks

★ Outdoor speakers are extremely important for a successful outdoor summer bash when hosting your loved ones. Once the sun sets and fireworks are in full display, you’ll need to ensure the party doesn’t have to move inside because there is no music outside! having speakers outside across your backyard and/or patio to give your party a beautiful and festive ambiance is a must.

★ It’s also a good idea to have one tv installed on the wall as the bare minimum. We recommend installing TVs under covered areas to make sure the TVs last longer.

★ We can easily install any TVs or outdoor speakers. Just give us a call!

Prep The MEDIA ROOM BEFORE The Party

★ If your home has a media room, make sure it’s working properly several days before the actual party. You’ll have a hard time if any of the audio and video components in the rack are faulty or if the projector or projection screen is not working properly due to malfunctions.

★ Here are some tips for prepping your media room: Power cycle everything – Give a good power reset to all the electronic devices and make sure there are no funky components doing something they are not supposed to do before you start hosting for your guests! Check all the AV cables – Make sure all the cables are connected all the way in and that no cables are disconnected from their sources inside the AV rack. Calibrate the speakers – All AVRs come with a basic calibration menu that can be accessed with the remote control, follow the prompts and your system will guide you through the calibration process for the best audio setup for your system. Look for 4th of July streaming content to entertain your guests –These are some of our recommended movies: ID4 Independence Day, Pearl Harbor, The Patriot, The Longest Day, Captain America, and Top Gun!
