Connecting up your home theatre equipment is really a fairly simple task, but there are a few different ways of doing it depending on what components you have and what image and sound quality you want to achieve.

Positioning speakers is critical to the quality of your sound, perhaps more than any other aspect of home cinema setup. It's also critical to the look of your entertainment area and a cause of a lot of fights between partners, leading to what's known amongst enthusiasts as SAF, or Spouse Approval Factor. In an ideal world, you'd have the room, money and romantic carte blanche to have seven fridge-size speakers and a subwoofer capable of architectural demolition. In the real world, you want speakers and home cinema gear like Blu-ray or DVD players receivers and televisions that are unobtrusive and stylish enough to meet with your partner's approval and a sound that is convincing for a given budget. Let's look at the options.

Now we're talking. This is the easiest way to get the most from your BDs and DVDs. All you have to do is plug the Blu-ray player's HDMI output into your receiver's HDMI input, plug the receiver's HDMI output into the HDTV's HDMI input, and you're done! HDMI makes everything simple, and keeps the quality digitally perfect.
