Need help in knowing what cables I need to purchase

415 Views 6 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  ThumperII
Gentlemen,


I have just purchased a JVC 1080P Lcos TV, an Oppo DVD player (will come with DVI-HDMI and DVI-DVI cables), the Pioneer VSX1015, and the SVS 5.1 surround system. Could someone please educate me on the cables I will now need to hook everything together. Also, I will be running an HD cable box from TWC (I think they may supply the cables needed for this). Any help would be most appreciative.

I cant post a website here so I will send you an email of a good company on the internet. They seem very reliable and outstanding prices.


A few of the cables you may need would be a subwoofer cable, bulk speaker cable, at least 14 or 12 gauge, component cable,


Your cable box should come with cables
why can't you post the website, everyone else does

He doesnt have enough posts yet.
I've had two really good experiences ordering from www.monoprice.com . They were super fast, and the cables seem to be pretty good quality (and SUPER cheap).


For audio, you will definitely need digital coax audio cables (don't buy anything fancy..the $4 75-ohm digital audio cables from monoprice are just fine). Use the digital coax audio cables to connect your DVD player and cable box's audio outputs to the receiver. Then use a standard L/R audio cable (red and white) to connect audio output from your receiver to your TV. You might also need component video cables for your cable box to connect to the TV.


My suggestion would be to order more cables than you need from monoprice. I ended up making two separate orders because I underestimated how many ways I would want to connect things. Now I have multiple connection options for each device, and the total cost of cables was around $50 for everything.

I have the 720p version of that TV. I have been pretty happy with it other than a blown bulb. After some headaches they sent me a new one and also a technician for a recall issue. I also picked up the Oppo which works well with the JVC.


anyway, I purchased all my cables from Blue Jeans Cable who also sponser the forum. The cables are well built.
