The DB-25 interface was developed by Lucasfilm THX to save space on the rear panels of home theater products. If your components use a mix of connectors, cables with a DB-25 (25-pin) connector on one end and multiple phono connectors on the other are available from home theater equipment retailers. If you wish to make your own adapter, see Figure 17-1 for the DB-25 pin configuration.
