How Do You Hook Up A Home Theater System?
Home theater systems are the perfect complement to a big screen TV. They provide the audio “punch” that adds life to whatever you’re watching, but particularly to movies with multi-channel sound tracks. Many home theater systems are all-in-one systems that include speakers, subwoofers and DVD players combined with audio amplifiers. These are convenient for many people, and hooking one up doesn’t have to be an all-day affair if you know what you’re doing. Unpack your home theater system and lay out the different elements. Find the manual and read the section on setup–this simple step is too often ignored, but a little reading ahead of time can solve a lot of problems later. Examine your TV for the type of video connections it has. The best video connection to use is HDMI, an all-digital connection that carries sound and picture.
