KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-( Business Wire )-

It’s time to get serious about revamping the living room or basement into an entertainment paradise and showing it off for others to see. HGTVPro.com and CEDIA have partnered to honor the best in home “Electronic Lifestyles” projects.

Homebuilding professionals and anyone interested in home electronics systems can visit www.hgtvpro.com/cedia to vote for their favorite design from the Home Theater, Media Room and Integrated Home categories for CEDIA’s annual Electronic Lifestyles® Designer Awards. Site visitors can tour these categories of home technology and even drill down into each project for additional photos, descriptions and project goals to learn how to create the perfect home theater or media room.

Check out some media room tips and advice featured on a new package on HGTVPro.com:

• Find out the difference between a media room and a home theater and discover which is right for you.
• View slideshows of themed media rooms, such as the Star Trek Home Theater, to add value, interest and fun to home remodeling plans.
• What good are speakers if there isn’t any sound feeding to them? It’s important to consider the audio/video/data sources for the media room.
• Proper lighting in a media room is just as important as any other equipment and can be made as simple as installing dimmers and replacing light switches.
• It isn’t attractive to have numerous tangled wires and exposed power cables. Planning and structured wiring will help solve this problem.
• The introduction of new technologies such as rear-projection, LCD, and plasma, has made shopping for the right television anything but simple.

Visitors can vote up to five times per day for their favorite design in each category. Voting ends Sept. 10. The winner of each category will be announced at the CEDIA EXPO Electronic Lifestyles Awards Banquet on Sept. 25 and recognized as the HGTVPro.com Audience Choice Electronic Lifestyles Award winner on HGTVPro.com.
