Technique is improving every year more and more. If earlier the receiver could be connected to the screen via an RGB cable, today it is more advisable to use an HDMI connection. Next, we'll talk about how to connect a home theater system to a TV so that there is sound and video, becauseMany have difficulties in this process( for example, they can not choose a suitable cable from several options).
So, you bought a new home theater, consisting of a DVD player, a receiver and a speaker system( usually 5.1).Now, to enjoy viewing, you need to connect all the cords in one single system. How to do it? All is pretty simple, the main thing is to correctly connect the connectors according to the letter and color markings.
The instructions for connecting the home theater to the TV are as follows:
- We study the circuit that comes with the devices. It is best to focus on the method of wiring that is recommended by the manufacturer. If the scheme is missing or not understandable for you, you can rely on the simplest option provided below.
- Determine which connectors are on the receiver and the back of the TV( the same as in the photo).In modern models, the HDMI connector is used, in older models - component( RGB), S-Video or SCART.Preference should be given to the first option, tk.in this case the quality of the picture transmission is the highest.
- Display the picture on the screen. To do this, connect the "OUT" jack of the receiver to the "IN" of the TV with one of the selected methods( for example, HDMI OUT - HDMI IN or MONITOR OUT - MONITOR IN).Wires are usually included. If there is no HDMI connector, you need to connect the theater to the screen with tulips.

- Output the sound on the speakers.

- Connect the speaker system to the satellite receiver. On the rear panel you can find such inscriptions as: FRONT /CENTER/SURROUND/ SUBWOOFER, which means respectively - front, center, rear speakers and subwoofer. According to the color marking of the wires, as well as the designation "+" and "-", it is necessary to connect the exposed contacts either by pushing or threading( depending on what is present).
- Install the speakers from your home theater in the selected locations. As a rule, the front panels are on the sides of the screen, the central one is lower or higher than the viewing area, and the rear ones are behind the back. The location of the subwoofer can be arbitrary, but it's best to place the device on the floor next to the screen, as shown in the picture.
- Suspend the TV on the wall( or place it on a small bedside table).
- We connect the cinema to the mains and check the installation by running a movie from your home collection or a TV program( at least check the speakers).Sound and video should be without interference.
That's how you can connect your home theater to your TV so that there's sound and video. You can also see the whole essence of the connection in a visual lesson:

We draw your attention to the fact that you can use speakers as an acoustic system to watch ordinary channels. Of course, stereo sound may not be, but it's clearly better than the weak speakers of the TV device.
