If you are reading this post, you probably are looking for a way to connect all your home entertainment electronic appliances together in such a way that the sound comes from the home theater CD Bass system while watching the pictures from the TV, without having to rearrange any wires.
Yes, it is possible to systematically connect all your home appliances – satellite decoders, DVD players, home theater digital surround Bass Sound system, TVs etc together such that all sounds emanate from the Bass sound system while all displays show on the TV.
Before now, many homes have faced the trouble of rearranging wires anytime they wish to view programs on their satellite TV or terrestrial TV decoders like the DStv and GOtv respectively and when they wish to play movies from a DVD player. Such trouble of connecting and reconnecting wires causes wear and tear in the TV connection ports and wires, inconveniences on the part of the viewer as well as making the surroundings look untidy from too many wires here and there.
This post seeks to show you in text and images, how to arrange your connections – decoders, DVD players, home theater sound system, TV etc together systematically so that you can watch any device by just pressing a button without touching any wire.
HOW TO LINK YOUR DECODER, DVD PLAYER, TV, SOUND SYSTEM TOGETHER TO INTERCHANGE BY JUST PRESSING A BUTTON
The secret of such multi-channel device connections is the AV wire. The AV wire enables you to connect virtually all types of entertainment electronic devices together, obtaining video and sound signals from source device to destination device. The word “AV” means audio / visual.
In this setup connection, the AV wires from all specified devices are linked to a distributing device known as the AV-selector. In the diagram above, the choice of AV-selector to buy is determined by how many peripheral devices to be connected. For instance, if you have one decoder, one DVD, a Bass Sound system and a TV, you would need an AV-selector with two input sources and one output source.
Each source has three ports corresponding to one video port (in Yellow) and two sound ports (white and red). The systematically connect all your home appliances – satellite decoders, DVD players, home theater digital surround Bass Sound system, TVs etc together such that all sounds emanate from the Bass sound system while all displays show on the TV. each having respective yellow, white and red joint parallel wires are connected accordingly to their respective colors from the devices to the AV-selector, on its input sides.
Additionally, you can also integrate all other home appliances to your decoders-either one or more decoders from multiple TV signal providers. If you are also thinking of linking all the rooms in your apartment to these devices, here is the best way to distribute DStv and other TV signals to all rooms in your building.
Then on the AV-selector’s OUTPUT side, the yellow single wire goes from it to the video INPUT of the TV. The other two sound output ports are connected to the two Auxiliary Jacks of the home theater or Bass sound system.
For the sound to be activated, the function or input of the sound system or home theater must be put on AUXILIARY. Accordingly, the TV Input or function must also be set on AV
The connection is ready. Your decoder, DVD Player etc can now be viewed by just switching or alternating the button on the AV-selector, without having to touch or reconnect any wires anymore.
HIDING THE WIRES TO MAKE YOUR DECODER, DVD, TV CONNECTIONS LOOK SMART AND NEAT
Remember that to make the whole device connection neat, all the wires involved can be systematically hidden in a wall plastic trunk. If a trunk is not desirable, a wire peg could be used to hold the wires in place on the wall, hidden behind the TV stand. In recent times, a type of massive fanciful TV stands make it possible to hide all the TV wire connections, making your multiple device connections look smart and neat.
