Can’t seem to get Junior to help cable up your new television and home theater in a box (HTIB)? Perhaps the following web site can help: ceaconnectionsguide.com. The CEA Connections Guide is a simple step by step advisor to the most common consumer electronics setups.

First, select the various devices on the list (e.g. TV, receiver, DVD player). Then, identify the various connections available on each device. The web site then takes you to a list of connection items for each component of the system. Such as “DVD Player to TV” or “DVD Player to A/V Receiver”. Upon selecting one of these choices, it then visually shows the various GOOD, BETTER, BEST cabling options based on a 5-Star scale. Simply click on one of the available connection options and it will show what cables to connect where! And if you’re not sure what the cable looks like, it has a photo of what it will look like. Additionally, it provides information about the cables being used and why they are classified on the 5-Star scale.

The CEA Connections Guide is a great resource for those who are not familiar with the barrage of cabling and connection choices of their consumer electronics. For those with more complicated setups, it may be best to defer to your friendly neighborhood Tech at Integra House. We hope everyone will get the most out of their technology acquisitions.
