The main advantage of a home theater is the possibility of creating a powerful acoustics, which can not be compared with the sound of a TV. Therefore, people of all ages are asked this question.

Home theater accessories

The modern market is replete with a wide variety of sets of home theaters, which allows you to choose the optimal model with the required parameters. Most of these systems support the surround sound option Dolby, Didital DTS, is equipped with AM / FM tuners and a certain number of speakers. The latest versions often have a built-in tuner for the USB port, satellite radio, audio player.

All home theaters include audio-video receivers that are connected to the TV, speakers. The receiver of the cinema performs the main function. It reproduces, processes information, provides an image to the output and sound to the speakers. Blue-Ray, DVD-players, VCRs belong to the items of additional equipment. They can be purchased by the owner independently. These devices are universal, so they are compatible with almost all home theaters.

To properly connect the home theater to the TV, you will need a special cable and a power strip. The cable selection criteria are the connections that are available on the receiver and home theater. Cable come with different connectors: standard, HDMI, S-video input, RGB-connector.

Home Cinema Connection

The TV can be connected to the cinema in several ways:

• The receiver and the TV have an HDMI connector. This method is preferable, so if possible, it is recommended to use them. This connection guarantees high-quality signal transmission and an excellent "picture". First you need to turn off the power, then connect the HDMI connectors (HDMI IN) and the receiver (HDMI OUT) to the HDMI cable. After that, the connection is considered complete. The equipment is ready for operation.
• use the component video output of the receiver (no HDMI connector). This option implies the presence of an RGB cable and allows you to play only video. The ends of the RGB-cable have three connectors, differing in color (red, green, blue). Connect the connectors in a color-coded manner.
• use a standard composite connector. This method should be resorted to, if the above are for some reason impossible. The quality of information transfer is below. For speed and ease of connection, the option with a composite cable is not inferior. Use the cable to connect the receiver's (COMPOSITE VIDEO) and TV (COMPOSITE IN) jacks.

In addition to the described, there are several other ways, but they are used very rarely. If you have S-VIDEO or SCART connectors, you can also use them. In this case, you need the appropriate cable (S-VIDEO, SCART). Use the cable to connect the receiver's OUT jack and the IN jack of the TV.

Connecting Speakers

At the last stage of the connection, the home theater speakers are connected to the subwoofer. There are times when cinemas are equipped with wireless rear speakers, so the signal they receive from the receiver (radio frequency). This scheme is more preferable, since there is no need to pull wires around the room. In addition, today more and more popular wireless subwoofers, the presence of which reduces the probability of entanglement of wires to zero.

When buying standard wired speakers, you should immediately check the kit for the presence of the required components. The speakers are always equipped with all the necessary wires with signed, multi-colored plugs. The presence of marking helps to quickly and correctly connect the speakers. The main thing here is not to mix the plugs with the corresponding connectors.
