The key to cabling is to make it look good (which is to say 'unseen'). Many people prefer to leave this to professional installers, but for the do-it-yourselfer, this is a great opportunity to save some money and bring your home theater project in under budget. For those who aren't sure they're up to the task, Home Theater Hero can provide advice, oversight and even lend a helping hand. We're here to help you save money. 'Nuff said.

Connections are another area where people can get very confused. With all the cables going here, there and everywhere, many people refer to the back side of a home theater cabinet as "the snakepit". To make matters worse, there's usually only one "right way" and multiple "wrong ways" to connect everything. And to make things crazier still, sometimes there's more than one "right way" (but there's always only one "best way"). Home Theater Hero can take the confusion out of it, either by connecting everything for you or by providing some expert guidance.

NOTE: We maintain a library of images of the I/O (input/output) panels of our customers' equipment. This provides us a reference by which (in many cases) we can assist you with connection issues over the phone - at little or no charge.
