Tips on Setting Up Your TV

Hooking up your home theater system can be extremely complicated. If you are not particularly tech savvy, you might not know the difference between an S-Video Cable and a Component Video Cable but don't worry, you are not alone.

Consumer Electronics Association Helps Connect Home Theater Systems

Connecting your home theater.

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the preeminent consumer technology trade association, has developed a Web site to help consumers hook up their home theater systems: The CEA Connections Guide. The interactive guide lets you select which equipment you wish to hook up (e.g. DVR, Set-top box, TV, etc.). It then asks you to choose which components are available on all the equipment you had previously selected (e.g. S-Video, Component Video, etc.). At this point, you will be able to choose which equipment connection instructions you wish to view. Now that you have a detailed guide, hooking up your home theater system should be smooth sailing.
