As the weather cools down and the entertainment options dwindle, you may be wondering how to occupy yourself in the coming winter months. The living room calls: Set up a home theater system to replace those trips to the cinema for you and your friends. It could get expensive, but thankfully, it's not too hard to get good deals on separate pieces.

We don't know what your budget is, but you can find some ideas for devices below that can either help you get started or spruce up your bare-bones entertainment center.


Sharp Aquos LC-60LE757U

A good device for the all-around home theater system is this Sharp Aquos LC-60LE757U, which has just about everything you could want in a modern TV: A large 60-inch screen, 3D capability, smart features and apps, and good picture quality that lets you view most media without issue. It's not perfect, but if you want to switch between watching Netflix, sports, or films, then it's $1,598 well spent. This deal through Dell Home also gets you two pairs of 3D glasses and a $300 gift card for free. Another TV option is this 70-inch Vizio E701I-A3, which also offers smart features, 3D tech, and a free gift card.


Yamaha Receive and Definitive Speakers SuperCombo

Get complete sound with this supercombo now on sale at Newegg for $1,079, which allows you to save $697 if you bought the AV receiver, floorstanding speakers, and subwoofer separately (this might be a good idea if you want to save some money). We haven't experienced these products first hand, but they each have mostly positive reviews on Newegg from customers. You'll have to hurry if you want to get in on this deal since it ends on September 11.


Samsung HW-F551 Soundbar

For theater-like sound, you should purchase a soundbar or separate speaker system that'll enhance your TV's audio for the best experience. The Samsung 46-inch soundbar on sale at TigerDirect for $329 has a wireless external subwoofer, which promises to deliver "amazing 2.1 channel sound." It also uses Bluetooth technology to connect to any enabled device. We recommend doing your research prior to purchase.


Yamaha PDX-31 Portable Speaker Docking System

World Wide Stereo via Newegg is discounting this portable speaker docking system until September 10. Perfect for connecting most recent-generation iPods or iPhones, the Yamaha PDX-31 also includes an aux input for blasting music from other devices, plus a remote for easy playback. It's great for parties and could be a good addition to your home-theater system if you're an audiophile. Plus, for $52 with free shipping, you can save a lot of money.


Roku 2 XD Streaming Player

We recently reviewed the Roku 3 media player, which provided us with content you won't find on cable, not to mention an interface that one-ups what you get on most higher-end TVs. While smart-TV users will find this product redundant, the Roku player could be the perfect living room companion for others. The Roku 3 is a little pricey, so if you don't want to spend as much you can check out the Roku 2 XD player, which is on sale at Amazon for $59 with free shipping.
