can inspire fun parties. (NAPSA)—If your viewing habits are ready for a makeover, taking a look at the latest trend in home entertainment may do more than expand your viewing pleasure—it may provide an excusefor a party. But don’t even think “TV set.” The newest trend is a low-cost, sleekly designed portable projection system that can turn home viewing into a big screen home theater—whether you’re watching a football game, fight event or awards show. With a bigger image and more portability than any TV set, the event you’re watching can become the basis for a party or a fun gettogether. When company comes over, surprise them by blasting a huge image on a wall or portable or pull-down screen for a big-as-life show. With moveable systems such as Mitsubishi’s new Home Cinema (HC) line, it’s easy to switch the location of the home theater—today the living room, tomorrow the bedroom, family room or den—then even store it away until it’s “showtime”again. Economical systems like this weigh under seven pounds, making them more portable and streamlined than expensive, bulkier, and heavier alternatives like flat plasma and big screen TVs that show a smaller, fixedsize image. To make viewing even more dynamic, a projector provides crisp, clear images from cable or satellite boxes, DVDs, DVRs, com- puters, VCRs and gaming consoles. They can even accept signal input from HDTV sources. Combined with advanced color controls, high contrast ratio and high brightness, the system projects a full movie-theater effect with wide-screen visibility and vivid colors. There are any numberofcreative party ideas you can plan around your hometheater system. Just pop some corn and make a few phonecalls for: * viewing It’s A Wonderful Life during the holidays * watching your favorite team during the Super Bowl * rating outfits at the Academy Awards * holding life-size video game competitions * and getting the family and neighbors together for ‘walk-in’ movies shown on the side of your house. The system’s remote control is easily programmed to operate two additional video sources, such as a DVD player or VCR, allowing users to switch easily between displays.
