Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'home' + 'theater' specifies the domestic entertainment context and 'projector' names the device, so the meaning 'a projector for a home theater setup' is immediately inferable. This is a common, cross-linguistic construction (modifier + head noun) and therefore accessible to a B1 learner who knows the component words.
Etymology
Home theater projector comes from the simple picture of putting a projector from a theater into your home, so it shows a big movie picture on your wall. That's why it means a projector made 'for watching movies at home'.
