How to Eliminate Home Theater Clutter

Setting up your home theater system involves running a variety of different wires and connections from one component to the next. This leads to wire clutter running from every device to the television and/or receiver. Wiring can create an eyesore and distract from the entertainment devices you have assembled into your home theater system. In addition, every device comes with its own remote controls, increasing clutter on your end table.
Getting your home theater clutter under control is not difficult by following these useful tips:

  1. Hide surge protectors behind the entertainment center. You can keep them off the floor by attaching a small shelf to the wall behind the entertainment center.
  2. Use wire ties to bunch wires from each device together. Wire ties also help wires from getting tangled with each other.
  3. Use an HDMI switch to eliminate multiple HDMI cables running to the TV. With a switch, you only need to run one HDMI cable to the TV.
  4. For wall mounted TVs, hide wires by running them through the wall from the baseboard to behind the TV. This gives the appearance of a “wireless” setup. If you cannot drill holes in the wall, bunch them together with wire ties and hide them under a wall mountable wire cover.
  5. Purchase a universal TV remote and program it to control all of your devices. Store the original remotes, with the batteries removed, in a drawer to keep them out of sight.

By taking the time to reorganize your home theater devices, and clean up wire and remote control clutter, you will have an elegant home theater setup. For TV stands, accessories, and universal remote controls, feel free to contact Replacement Remotes at 1-855-5-REMOTE (1-855-573-6683) today.
