Equipment Needed for Home Theater System Setup

Video Transcript

Hello everyone! My name is Tony Ramirez and I am here to teach you the basics of setting up your own theater system, so enjoy. Our first step is to get all of the equipment and tools that we will need. In this example, we will be setting up a 5.1 surround sounds system. Just in case you ever wondered, the 1 in 5.1 is the subwoofer and the 5 or the 5 satellite speakers. Here we will have 5 basic book style speakers. One speaker will be used for the center speaker, another for the left channel, right channel, rear left and rear right. As for the 1, we are using a powered or active 8 inch Sub wolfer. In addition to the speakers, we will need an audio receiver capable of decoding Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound. This unit here decodes both. Next we will acquire a DVD player with either optical or digital coax cable outputs. These outputs carry the Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound signal to your receiver. Finally, make sure you have speaker wire long enough to place the speakers where you would like them and also a Digital Coax Cable or optical cable.
