Reel Home Theater is an HAA-Certified audio calibration company.

 


Do you have trouble hearing what people are saying when you listen to TV or watch movies? Do you have to keep turning up your volume to try and hear better? Are there certain frequencies that seem to resonate in your listening room? Is your BASS shallow or boomy? Are you having trouble hearing sound effects to your sides and rear during movies? These are all symptoms of an improperly calibrated sound system.

Using our suite of Sencore Scientific Calibration equipment and the extensive knowledge we have gained through our HAA training, we guarantee that we can tune your audio system to a level you've never dreamed possible. Our HAA audio calibration will give you crystal-clear sound so that you can hear every detail, even with the volume turned down to a whisper. Our HAA audio calibration will give you the most accurate frequency response possible in your listening room.. Your BASS will be accurate, not boomy. Our HAA audio calibration will give you a seamless, 360 degree surround sound experience. You will no longer hear "your speakers." Instead, you will hear countless details of the director's movie environment completely surrounding you in the most natural fashion you could possibly imagine.

We offer the following HAA Audio Calibration Services:

Acoustic Design Review - We will evaluate your plans for a new listening room or evaluate your current, existing listening room and show you how to achieve the most perfect sound possible.

System Hookup and Programming Check - We will inspect your current system hookup and programming to determine if all is done correctly and that you are maximizing your system's performance.

System / Room Audio Calibration - We will bring our Sencore Scientific Calibration equipment to your home and tune your audio system to match your listening room for the most extraordinary, exciting listening experience you ever imagined.

Remember, HAA Audio Calibration means...

  • Crystal-clear Sound even at extremely low volume levels

  • Accurate, level frequency response
  • Smooth, powerful, accurate BASS
  • Spectacular, 360 degree surround sound effects

Reel Home Theater is an ISF-Certified
video calibration company.

Did you know that most TVs that you bring home are setup by the factory to look their best in a large, brightly lit store, not your home? That's true! Just look at the "picture mode" that your new TV defaults to. It will be VIVID, DYNAMIC, BRIGHT, etc. These are the WRONG picture modes for your home. You will be come very fatigued watching your TV in these picture modes, especially at night in a dark room. It may even be painful for some of you.

To get the most VALUE for your investment, please call us to properly calibrate your new TV as soon as you purchase it. We offer two forms of video calibration...

1) ISF Quick Calibration - $75 within 10 miles of St. George, Utah.  We will come to your home and program all the user controls correctly for your TV and your watching enviornment. This will take approximately 1 hour. We will verify that your TV connections, programming and settings are precisely correct.

2) ISF Full Calibration - Price varies by the type of TV that you have and the number of INPUTS that you are using. Pixel TVs can be done faster than rear projection CRT TVs. We also ISF calibrate projectors. This calibration includes all the elements of our quick calibration PLUS a full GREY SCALE calibration using our Sencore Calibration equipment. The time for a full calibration varies from 3 to 8 hours depending on the type of TV you have. Please call us to get your exact price for this excellent service. 435-688-7335.

These are the benefits of proper ISF Video Calibration

Your picture will be more FILM-LIKE.

Take in a local movie. Look carefully at the image. You will see a picture that looks like real life. Colors will be accurate. You will see many details in dark and brightly lit scenes. Your ISF Calibrated TV will look very similar to this movie theater image.

Your TV will not be fatiguing to watch. It will be relaxing to watch.

If your TV comes with ISFccc modes (LG August, 2008), we will calibrate it for both DAY and NIGHT viewing.

Your TV will last longer.

TVs come from the factory in what we commonly call "Torch Mode". That means many adjustments are set at or near maximum. They are set like a car running at full throttle. When we ISF calibrate your TV we turn many controls down so that your TV is runs more like a car idling. This lowers the power consumption of the TV and extends its life.

I'm Glenn Thomas. Please call me 435-688-7335 to learn how I can help you get the most VALUE from your new TV purchase with ISF Calibration. Thank you.

In-Business since 1980. We come to you!

"As recent transplants from the East Coast we were greatly dismayed by the lack of customer service and support we experienced in Southwestern Utah, that is until we met Glenn Thomas from REEL Home Theater. During construction of our new home Glenn met with us numerous times at our convenience to plan and design our Audio Visual system.  Glenn is the consummate professional - He arrived on time, listened to our needs, worked hard with the precision of a surgeon during installation.  Our Home Theater System is a blast to watch and when Glenn calibrated the entire Audio system, speakers, amp, everything to work in harmony the sound is AWESOME.  Well worth the money we spent, and it really was not that much money.  My wife and I highly recommend Glenn and his company, REEL Home Theater."

We are ready to answer your St. George Home Entertainment questions.

Hi. I'm Glenn Thomas, the owner of Reel Home Theater. Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. If you have a minute to spare, I'd like to tell you how I can help you design, install, hookup or improve your Southern Utah Home Entertainment systems.

Souls, Entertainment and Technology Bring Us More Joy in Life

I truly believe that one of the greatest joys in life is experiencing the artistic talents of our fellow man / woman. Each artist, be it a musician, actor, writer or filmmaker shares his or her soul with us when they perform the work that we call entertainment. Entertainment is a gift that moves our spirit in many ways. It can make us laugh or cry. It can educate us. It can inspire us. It can excite us. It can make us afraid. It can take us to worlds we’ve never imagined. Entertainment is the gift of souls touching souls in a very spectacular way.

The minds and souls of countless engineers have brought us dramatic improvements in picture and sound technology over the past fifty years. This has now made it possible for us to enjoy the gift of realistic entertainment in the comfort our own homes.

The amount of joy that we get from the entertainment we watch in our homes is directly proportional to the illusion of realism that our electronic equipment can create. The better our equipment and installation is, the more realistic and enjoyable our experience will be.

Designing a Home Entertainment system is like creating a work of art.

The artist (in this case, the audio/video engineer) must create the art (the finest picture and sound experience) by selecting the highest quality equipment, making sure that the selected equipment works well together, installing the equipment so that it blends seamlessly with our home’s decor, programming each piece of equipment correctly, calibrating our video display to industry standards, calibrating the sound system to perform best with our room’s dimensions and acoustic properties and last but most important of all, making the entire system easy for us to use with a single, touch-screen remote control.

The enjoyment that we get from our home entertainment system will be determined by our budget and by the home entertainment "Artist" that we choose to create it.

It’s Your Home – Your Sound – Your Choice

For AUDIO / VIDEO CONNOISSEURS

I am seeking clients who have highly discriminating ears for music and  eyes that can see the most minute details in a video display's contrast, brightness and color accuracy. With 20 years experience working in the Hollywood, California area for entertainment industry executives and an full compliment of Sencore Scientific calibration equipment, I have what it takes to build you a new Home Theater system that will absolutely astound you, your family and your friends.

That's right, FREE. Why? Because I love what I do, I love improving your lifestyle and I love seeing the the big smile on your face when I turn your system into an easy-to-use masterpiece.

No pixels! I love these classic beauties. Let me take care of them  for you.

Are you angry at having to watch 2:35:1 ratio DVD's in your theater or on your HDTV with BLACK BARS on the top and bottom of the screen? Guess what? I have the cure. It's a bit pricey (about $2500 installed) but it will do the trick. I can setup your projector or TV to display both 1.85:1 and 2.35:1 ratio DVD's with a full screen image using a DVDO image scaler. If the DVD is a 1.85:1 ratio DVD, I'll feed it directly to one of your HDTV inputs. If the DVD is a super-wide 2.35:1 ratio, I'll feed it through the DVDO scaler, use the scaler to enlarge the image to fill your screen and send it to another one of your HDTV inputs. Now, with a few button clicks you can enjoy all your DVDs at 1080i or 720p resolution with no black bars.

Introducing The Visage by Screen Innovations

From audioholics.com

"The bottom line is that this is the first screen we have tested that you can view in the daytime and be able to achieve a watchable image. In fact, no other screen material that we have tested to date even comes close to the performance level obtained with the Visage. To summarize the experience with the Visage during daytime viewing, we felt like a vampire that had been cured from the nighttime curse and now free to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine.  Watching Nascar and the Olympics during the day on a 92-inch diagonal was an exhilarating experience to say the least."

News
Press Release: November 1, 2005

Reel Home Theater Receives Video Calibration Certification from Sencore Corporation

Santa Clara, Utah – November 1st, 2005 -- As part of his mission to produce the highest quality picture for his clients, Glenn Thomas, owner / operator of Reel Home Theater has graduated from the Sencore Academy in Sioux Falls, S.D. and become a Sencore-certified Video Calibrationist.

As a professionally certified Sencore Calibrationist Glenn can maximize the performance of your TV, video display or projector, create the most film-like experience possible and lengthen your display’s service life.

Why should I calibrate my TV or Projector?

Remember how different all those TV’s looked at the store when they were all receiving the same program signal? That is because they were not properly calibrated.

The primary purpose of video calibration is to enable your display look the same as the displays used to monitor the quality of DVD production. Calibration ensures that you will see movies exactly as the movie producers intended with correct colors and excellent detail in both bright and dark scenes.

Direct view CRT and rear projection CRT televisions will look better and last longer after calibration. Manufacturers "tweak" video settings so their TVs get the most attention on the showroom floor. Blue and red levels are significantly higher than they should be. Proper calibration will reduce the output of the blue and red CRT tubes, extending their life and will make the picture look more film-like.

Plasmas are generally delivered to you with high blues, high reds, high brightness and high contrast. These settings are "flashy" on the showroom floor but contribute picture burn in, viewer eyestrain and shortened plasma life. Proper calibration will enhance the life of the plasma, make the image more film-like and reduce the viewers’ eyestrain.

Whatever your display’s design is, CRT, Plasma, LCD, DLP, I-DLA, etc., professional video calibration will ensure that you are getting the best performance and maximum life span from it.

About Reel Home Theater (RHT)

Reel Home Theater (RHT) is a 5-star Custom Installation Company that is owned and operated by Glenn Thomas. Glenn is an electronic technician with over 25 years experience in the audio / video industry.

All calibrations are done using Sencore software, sensors and signal generators.

Exclusive products available from RHT are Canton (German) Speakers, NAD and Sherwood / Newcastle AV Receivers, Screen Innovations movie screens and MTX Home in-wall speakers.

All business is conducted by way of appointment, at your home, business or new home under construction. Our business hours are M-Sat. 10-6.

Consultation and Design Services for Our Southern Utah Clients

NOTE: Prices quoted are for cities within 10 miles of St. George, Utah

Improve your PICTURE!

  • Are you disappointed in the quality of your TV picture?
  • Are you sure you are seeing the highest quality picture possible?

For $75 + any required cables we'll check your system and make sure your programming is correct, your wiring is correct and demonstrate how the DVDO I-Scan HD+ can dramatically improve standard definition cable, satellite and DVD pictures by up scaling them to a high-quality 1080i or 720p resolution.

Sorry... NO INTERNET SALES!

We only sell what we personally install for our S. Utah clients.

Improve your SOUND!

We have found that 90% of St. George "Surround Sound" systems we've inspected are not programmed correctly or do not have a DIGITAL AUDIO cable connected. For $75 + any required cables we'll make sure you are hearing the BEST sound possible and getting what you paid for.

TIP: If you are playing a Dolby Digital or DTS DVD on your Dolby Digital / DTS AV receiver and you do not see the words Dolby Digital or DTS displayed somewhere on your AV receiver's display, your system is not performing correctly and you will benefit GREATLY from a SOUND check-up!

Want to hear the World's Best speakers? When you book our $75 sound check-up we'll bring you a pair of Canton German-built speakers to listen to and a full Canton catalog to keep.

Canton speakers range from $125 to $15000 each and are engineered and built in Germany.  They produce the "most realistic" sound we've ever heard. All of our client's love them.

Sorry... NO INTERNET SALES!

We only sell what we personally install for our S. Utah clients.

SAVE MONEY on

 "do-it-yourself"

systems!

60 % of the "do-it-yourself" systems we've seen in St. George actually cost the owner more money than a  professionally-designed system and have lower quality picture and sound because of improper selections of equipment, critical missing cables and errors in equipment programming.

For example, one client picked a $3500 2000 lumen LCD conference projector to display movies on a 92 inch diagonal screen 12 feet away. The projector was the wrong choice for this theater. It was too expensive, too bright, too noisy (fan was 39 dB) and displayed a HUGE "screen door" effect on the images.

We would have recommended he purchase the incredible NEC HT510 DLP projector for $1495 with a $200 mail in rebate. It's specs are PERFECT for his room. It would have looked better (correct brightness, no screen door effect), been quieter (29 dB in low power mode) and cost him $2105 less!

For $150 we may very well save you thousands!  We'll show you how to build a professional-grade Home Theater system that will cost you less and perform like a champion. Allow 2 hours.

PRE-WIRE your  new home CORRECTLY! 90% of St. George pre-wires we've seen are being done incorrectly.
  • There are not enough RG-6 quad lines being run to the dish location.
  • Many times there's no dish lines at all.
  • There are not enough coax lines being run to the Home Theater equipment bay.
  • There are not enough coax lines and CAT-5 lines being run to the TV outlets in each room.
  • Projectors are not being protected from AC surges and AC blackouts resulting in premature bulb failure.

For a small fee of $75 we'll provide you with a correct pre-wire list for your new home so you won't end up spending much more money to fix pre-wire errors after your home is completed.

Enjoy High Definition Music!

DVD - Audio

Super Audio CD

Are you a "music-lover?" Do you have a High Definition music system?

Do you know what the World's Best-sounding, best-selling music video is?

Hint: It was recorded in 1994 and the DTS 5.1 surround mix was masterfully done by Mr. Elliot Scheiner.

Can your surround system play DTS discs?

For $75 we'll show you what professional-grade equipment to buy and how to wire your system to play DTS, DVD-audio and SACD high definition music discs.

Choose  the RIGHT TV!

NEC ... The Professional's 1st Choice!

  • What type of new TV should you buy?
  • Plasma, CD, DLP, IDLA, CRT direct view, CRT rear projection?
  • HD (high definition) or ED (enhanced definition)?

If you pick "the wrong kind" you will be greatly disappointed.

For $75 we'll come to your home and explain what type of TV you should purchase and why.

Sorry... NO INTERNET SALES!

We only sell what we personally install for our S. Utah clients.

Make your system Easy to Use!

Tired of using 6-7 remotes to control your Home Theater system?

For $75 we'll bring a MX-3000 color touch screen remote control to your home and show you why it is the easiest-to-use remote control in the World.

If you decide to purchase the MX3000, we will refund the $75 service call fee.

Sorry... NO INTERNET SALES!

We only sell what we personally install for our S. Utah clients.

Improve your CABLE picture!

Several St. George clients have told us that they lived with a terrible cable picture for 3 to 4 years and that everyone they hired to "fix it" could do nothing to improve it.

We have diagnosed and "fixed" all of these clients' poor cable picture problems in 1 hour or less.

Do you have a fuzzy or noisy cable picture?

For $75 + parts we'll make sure your cable system is wired correctly and improve the quality of your picture dramatically. This offer is good for up to 1 hour of labor. Some cable system repairs may take longer and an additional labor fee may me charged.

Design your Home Theater correctly!

  • Where do you mount your projector?
  • What type of projector should you use?
  • What type of screen should you buy?
  • What wires should you run to the projector?
  • How do you control your equipment that is located in a closed cabinet?

For $150 we'll come to your home and show you how to design and build your own Home Theater correctly. Allow 2 hours.

Design your  House Music system correctly!

  • Do you know there are 3 types of whole-house music systems?
  • What amplifier should you purchase to drive 16 speakers?
  • What type of speakers should you buy?

For $150 we'll come to your home and show you how to design and build your whole-house music system correctly. Allow 2 hours.

 

Learn how to install OUTDOOR Speakers!

  • Who makes the best-sounding, best-built outdoor rock speakers and offers a LIFETIME warranty?
  • How do you wire an outdoor sound system?

For $75 we'll come to your home and teach you how to design and install an outdoor speaker system.

Get what you paid for!

 

 

CALIBRATE Your TV!

 

99% of new TV's are not calibrated properly and EVERY new CRT rear projection TV should have a convergence adjustment every time the TV is moved.

TIP: If you see RED or BLUE lines around white letters when text is displayed on your TV, you need a convergence adjustment.

Did you know that you must calibrate each input that your display is using?

We will use $8,000 worth of Sencore calibration equipment and software to make sure you are getting the maximum performance out of your TV.

Calibration is one of the most effective and least expensive upgrades you can make to your video system.

Our current calibration fees are:

$195 for LCD, DLP and plasma TVs and projectors first input. $70 for each additional input used. $495 for CRT rear projection TVs or CRT projectors (includes all inputs used).

Public Service Alert
from Reel Home Theater

Many people paying for high definition satellite may not be seeing
a high definition picture and may not be aware of it!

If you cannot see a VIVID difference between your standard definition satellite stations and your high definition satellite stations, your satellite receiver may not be installed properly.

Over 50% of the High Definition (HD) satellite systems that I have inspected have NOT been properly programmed or wired to display a High Definition (HD) picture!  I feel that this is an outrageous injustice to the good people (you) who are paying a great deal of money to see High Definition satellite broadcasts. Apparently many of the technicians being sent to install HD satellite receivers have not been properly trained in proper installation and programming of HD satellite receivers.

I have found the following problems in over 50% of my inspections of HD satellite systems in Southern Utah...

1- No component video or HDMI connection from the HD satellite receiver to the TV.

2- TV Type (on Dish Network) programmed as: 480i or 480p

3- Output resolution (DirecTV) on front panel set to 480i or 480p

Here's how you can check your own system to verify that you are truly seeing a high definition satellite picture.

Dish Network Test

1- Check the HD satellite video output wiring

Check the connectors on the back of your Dish HD satellite receiver. You must see either a component video connection (Red, Blue, Green connectors) or an HDMI connection to your HDTV. If you only see the S-video or composite video connections used, you are not seeing HD on your TV and you should call a technician (who knows what he/she is doing) to install the correct cable(s).

2- Check the HD satellite receiver video output programming

Using the Dish remote control that came with your HD satellite receiver, press the following buttons:

SAT, menu, 6, 8 and look at the TV Type. If the TV type says 480i or 480p, you are NOT seeing a HD picture on your TV!

The TV Type must be set to 720p or 1080i for the satellite receiver to output an HD picture.

Many HDTV's cannot display a 720p picture so the easiest thing for you to do is select the 1080i TV Type. All HDTVs will display a 1080i picture.

DirecTV Test

1- Check the HD satellite video output wiring

Check the connectors on the back of your DirecTV HD satellite receiver. You must see either a component video connection (Red, Blue, Green wires) or an HDMI connection to your HDTV. If you only see the S-video or composite video connections used, you are not seeing HD on your TV and you should call a technician (who knows what he/she is doing) to install the correct cable(s).

2- Check the HD satellite receiver video output resolution

Look at the front of your DirecTV HD satellite receiver for a button next to four lights. There's a label near each light...480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i.  If the 480i or 480p light is on, you are NOT seeing high definition on your HDTV and you must press the resolution button until either the 720p or 1080i light is lit. Again, many HDTV sets will not display 720p so, for simplicity, use the 1080i setting.

Southern Utah residents

Please call me, Glenn Thomas 435-688-7335, if you have any trouble testing your HD satellite system or are uncertain of what to do. I will be happy to drop by your home and test or fix the HD satellite system for you for a small service fee (fee amount varies with distance from St. George).

NOTE:

Everyone, please e-mail (glenn@reelht.com) me if you find that your system is NOT wired or programmed to properly display HD satellite so that I can keep a record of how many installations have been done wrong.

Thanks, Glenn Thomas
