Subwoofer - A speaker designed to replicate very low bass frequencies, usually approximately 80 Hz and below.
Surround Sound - An arrangement where speakers are placed in front of and behind the listener. This creates the sensation that the sound is organically part of the environment. Many home theater systems include several speakers for this purpose and the result allows the listener to feel as if he or she is totally immersed in sound.

Video Rocker- An ergonomically designed chair, for watching TV, reading, or playing video games. Video rockers are often made of vinyl or easily-cleaned fabrics, and do not connect to power sources.
