Wiring for Home Theater

[oskar22]

Got a new TV and revised my wiring but not sure if all is ok. The system works good but perhaps there is room to improve. I wonder if someone can point out any mistakes on the attached schematic.

Yes my audio receiver is old but the sound is the best and maybe in the summer I will get a new one

Sorry but I want to include an updated schematic which indicates more applicable connections. Also I want to point out some of my questions:

On the Bell receiver the component video and digital audio are not used and I wonder if they should and how.

On the Panasonic the component TV-IN is not used and perhaps it should?

On the JVC is the Antenna OUT required?

The new schematic was not included in my previous post

Oskar, you really do need to upgrade your reciever so you can go all HDMI, simplify your wiring, and get the best quality out of your entire system.

At the end of this year the studio are going to flag the component outputs to be downrezzed to 480p. At that point even your Bluray output would be knocked down to 480p.

My advice is to upgrade the receiver to a HDMI based one.

As mentioned, I do have plans to change the AV receiver but with 600 total watts of power or 100 watts x 6 in surround mode at 0.9% THD including Dolby digital, DTS-ES + Pro Logic II decoding +++ so many other goodies its not my priority.

Now if someone who knows how to properly connect all these gadgets together provide me with some recommendations, it will be more fun and interesting to see the results.

In the world of A/V today, none of what you mention are really goodies - they are sound formats of the past. This receiver cannot even process the new flavors or the old lossy formats. There are very few Bluray's that use the old lossy audio formats, Lossless DTS and Dolby codecs now dominate all releases. So what you think is goodies, are really nothing more than relics of the past. If you update the receiver, then a whole world opens up for you, and it become SO much easier to connect all of your components to the receiver and get the best quality out of them.

When you ask people for help, it is not wise to dismiss the advice that is given -especially if it is sound and wise. If you do, it make people less likely to help you again.
