A media room or a home theater room (aka cinema room or mini movie theater) is that space in your house that gives you an amazing theatrical experience with installed audio and video equipment. It’s a room dedicated to enjoying movies, television, sports and gaming.

With a large flat screen TV, awesome surround sound system and comfortable seating arrangement, it serves as the perfect place for many of your social gatherings.
