When setting up your home theater, you might be confused on how to associate the various components such as a Dvd player, cable box or satellite box, audio receiver, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Blu-ray player to your Tv. I'm going to show you how to associate each component to video and audio.
If you have a high definition Tv, you're best choice would be to use an Hdmi cable to associate your components to the television. However, this requires your components to have an Hdmi input. Check to see if your Dvd player or cable box has an Hdmi input. If it does then you can use an Hdmi cable to digitally forward both video and audio from only one cable! If it doesn't don't worry, you can still associate a Dvd player or cable box to an Hdtv is using a component video cable. The back of your Dvd player should have green, blue and red inputs (labeled Y Cr Cb or Y Pr Pb). If it does, then you are in business. Component video is an analog association that also does full Hd, but only transmits video. You will need a detach cable to forward analog audio, such as a 2 Rca audio cable (usually red and white). However, some component video cables come with the 2 extra audio cables attached development a total of 5 connections in one cable. These are commonly known as 5-Rca Component video cables.
Hdmi Tv
Blu-ray players, Xbox 360s, and Playstation 3s all have an Hdmi production so an Hdmi cable would be the association for you. However, if you plan on using a surround sound principles for audio, it might not have Hdmi inputs. If this is the case, then you will need an alternative way to get surround sound out of these components.
The back of your audio receiver should have whether an visual audio input, or a digital coaxial (S/Pdif) input. The best quality association would be a Toslink visual audio cable to the visual audio input on the receiver. visual audio is a digital signal so you would be getting the best quality possible out of your equipment. The Digital Coaxial audio cable would be the next best choice to associate from the component to the receiver. These are used to forward a clean digital audio signal. As a last resort, if you don't care much about the quality of your surround sound, a suitable red and white Rca cable will do the trick.
I hope this helped you shape out how to associate each component to video and audio.
