 Amplifier connections explained

Your amplifier has many plugs when you turn it around and have a look at the rear. Amplifiers have changed over the years and can be very confusing when needing to be set up to your TV, DVD, Blu-ray etc.

Here is a brief explanation of the inputs:

Digital In – is for connecting digital audio from your DVD, Blu-ray etc. This can be done by using a coaxial or optical cable.

Digital TV are you ready?

Digital TV are you ready?

The old “Analog TV” signal is going to be switched off by the 3rd of December 2013 in Sydney.  In many areas in Australia this has already been completed.  If you already have a digital TV, digital set top box or Foxtel you have already made the digital switch so you will be fine.   This means you are already receiving the extra digital channels, HD channels and the electronic program guide.

Digital TV are you ready

If you haven’t already got a digital TV, digital STB or Foxtel you will need at the minimum adigital set to box.   These days they are pretty cheap, starting at about $30 at your local electronics shop (e.g. Dick Smith).

Digital TV are you ready

If you currently are receiving digital television without any problems you will not have to change your current antenna.   Antennas made for analog tv signals work just as good for the new digital tv signals so save your money.

What is 5.1 surround sound

What is 5.1 surround sound

5.1 surround sound means 5 channels (front left, centre, front right, rear left & rear right) of audio sound and the “point one” is the low frequency sub-woofer.   The 5 speakers are designed to surround the listener just like in the movie theatres.

What is 5.1 surround sound

The centre speaker is designed to send the voices from the movie to the listener.   The left and right front speakers give you the big sound effects and the rear speakers give the listener the added sound effects.   The “.1” is the sub-woofer giving you the bass.

RCA cables explained

RCA cables explained

An RCA cable is used to carry audio and video signals.

 

The name RCA comes from “Radio Corporation of America” which is a simple and low cost designed cable.   These cables transmit signals from your DVD and VCR etc to your TV.   These cables are therefore colour coded so that you insert the correct cable into the correct input on the back of the device.   (see image to right)

RCA cables explained

Composite & Audio cables carry a video signal (yellow) and the left and right audio signals (red and white)   These cables are rated a 4/10 connection.   Mainly used for older TV’s, VCR’s and DVD’s.

RCA cables explained

 

Component Cables (red, green and blue) transmit 3 analogue

video signals from your device to your television. Transmitting twice the resolution as composite video (red, yellow, white), this is often preferred for those with higher definition televisions. These cables are rated a 9/10.
