The switch box will let as many as four sources be connected to a TV with only an RF "antenna" inputĭVD player, Dolby Digital receiver, TV with S-video input, and speakers (including subwoofer).ĭVD-Video/DVD-Audio player with bass management, VCR, digital cable, CD changer, cassette deck, pre/pro, amplifier, TV with S-video and component inputs, game console, speakers, and subwoofer. This is what you want if all you are doing is hooking a DVD player up with an older TV set, especially if you are retaining a VCR in the setupĭVD Player, VCR, TV with on A/V inputs, an A/V switch, an RF modulator, and the option for a basic stereo system. The DVD and VCR signals are kept separate because passing the DVD player's signal through the VCR will cause the Macrovision copy protection to kick in, ruining the picture. Each picture also links to a larger picture of the diagram and more details on the wiring involved.ĭVD Player, TV with no A/V inputs, and RF modulator.
More advanced systems are possible, such as front projection systems which would likely add a line-doubler between the DVD player and the projector or an HDTV capable display with a separate HDTV tuner, but this gives you an idea. The last diagram is of a more advanced home theater system, with a large number of components.
The next diagram gets into a more robust home theater, but does not include any additional equipment.
The second diagram shows a system without a receiver that has several devices (DVD player and VCR) connected to a TV and to a stereo system. This diagram includes an alternate diagram adding a VCR and switchbox. The first diagram is the simplest, showing a DVD player attached to a TV that does not have any audio/video inputs (such as an older TV or a small TV) in this case, the TV provides the speakers (or speaker, as it will mostly likely not have stereo sound). All of the diagrams have legends identifying the different types of cables being used: analog audio interconnects (each interconnect shown is a single "channel," so a stereo connection appears as two lines), digital audio interconnects (either coaxial or optical I do not differentiate), video (a single line identifies either a composite or S-video cable, and the three lines shown between DVD player and TV on the third diagram identify a component video connection), speaker cables, and coaxial "cable tv" cables.
