The Annual CES (Consumer Electronics Show) doesn't officially start until later this week: Thursday, January 8th, but that doesn't stop some exhibitors from hyping their new products ahead of time. Although most product announcements will be made once the CES starts, below is a peek at just some of the new home theater-related products that are expected to be creating a lot of buzz at CES this week:

Canton High-End Reference 3.2 DC Loudspeakers with Ceramic Tweeters (Canton).

Denon DVD-A1UDCI Blu-ray/DVD/SACD/DVD-Audio Player (About.com - Home Theater).

EZ Gear's First Blu-ray Disc Player: EZ3000 (EZ Gear)

Harman Kardon's Flagship AVR 7550HD 7.2 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Audioholics).

LG's new LCD television with "Trumotion 480Hz" screen refresh rate (LG/Philips).

Sharp LCD TV/Blu-ray Disc Player Combination units for the US Market

In addition, to product announcements, another feature of CES is the "battle of the booths". The larger companies always try do outdo one another in booth size, design, high-tech demos, booth babes, and entertainment.
