Electronic Options
Are you bewildered and over-
whelmed by the dazzling array
of electronic gadgets flooding
the market? Should you create
a home theater or toss out your
VCR? How big should your TV
screen be? Should you buy a
plasma or LCD set? Should you
sign up for cable or satellite or
the phone company?
Here are some tips from the
Custom Electronic Design &
Installation Association to help
you sort things out. CEDIA is an
international trade association of
companies, specializing in plan-
ning and installing electronic
systems for the home.
• Wire for everything now as
you don't know what the future
will bring.
• Plan for HDTV now. Federal
law takes effect in February, re-
quiring all TV stations to broad-
cast in high definition.
• Insist on integrated lighting
and audio systems.
• Buy an experience, not a box.
Find a dealer that will allow you
to test drive the entire system
to experience the thrill of high
performance.
• Buy remote controls that
handle every system in your
house and get them custom pro-
grammed.
