Hooking up your home theater system can be a nightmare, and it only gets worse as you add more electronics. If you are not particularly tech savvy, you might not know the difference between an S-Video Cable and a Component Video Cable; don't worry, you are not alone.
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.
