  • If you are unsure of how to proceed at any point, get a professional installer involved to avoid potential costly, time consuming mistakes and errors.

  • Connect your Blu-ray/DVD/CD player, HD tuner/DVR, video game console(s), and all other A/V source components, as well as the speakers and subwoofer using the best possible type and quality of cables (i.e. use HDMI whenever possible) to the appropriate inputs/outputs on back of the surround sound receiver.

  • Run Ethernet cable from your home network to any network-ready components.

  • Securely affix/mount side/rear surround sound effects speakers, bookshelf speakers, and/or small satellite speakers atop stands and/or mounting brackets.

  • Plug all AC power cords into either the switched and un-switched power outlets on back of the surround sound receiver or the power surge protector.

  • Run an HDMI cable from the video monitor out on back of your surround sound receiver and let the cable dangle to about where it will be connected to the back of your television.

  • Place your television into/onto the furniture or mount it on the wall, connecting the dangling HDMI cable into an HDMI input on back of the television.

  • Plug in and power up your surge protector. Power up individual components.

  • Program any learning or programmable remotes to minimize the multiple remote control juggling act.

  • Once you've got all your surround sound speakers and subwoofer where you want them located, perform the microphone-enabled automatic setup procedure on your surround sound receiver to balance the sound pressure levels of all channels within the room. You can use a sound pressure level, or SPL meter, with receiver's test tone function for even more accurate settings.

  • DON'T move the television stand or entertainment center permanently back into place until you are 100% sure that everything is connected and operating properly.

  • ALWAYS get help when moving or re-locating heavy and bulky electronic equipment and furniture!

  • Get the popcorn popping and call up some friends to show off your new home theater system!
