what kind of cables i need for HT?help please... (1 Viewer)

[balajiPA]

I am doing my first HT setup project.
I have a onkyo TXR600 receiver.
energy take 5.2 speaker and subwoofer package(will get this in a week's time)
sony DVD player(with progressive scan)
sony 32'' FD trinitron wega tv
Panasonic VCR(new model)
dish network satellite receiver
all of these are recently purchased equipments.
I have a wall unit in which i will keep all of these.as far as speakers go, my home is prewired for 2 front and 2 rear speakers and so i dont need to do any wiring.
please advise
thanks

To get going you will probably need the following:

-Subwoofer cable: coaxial w/RCA connectors
-Component video cable to connect the DVD player to the TV
-Fiber optic audio interconnect from DVD to Receiver and/or
coaxial audio from DVD to Receiver
-4 coaxial audio interconnects with RCA plugs for VCR to Receiver and Satellite receiver to Sony Receiver
-2 coaxial video interconnects for Satellite receiver to TV

There's lots to choose from out there. BTW, how are you going to connect your center channel speaker?
Have fun!

"Speaker wires the correct length for the five main speakers."
I will not need speaker wires except for center speaker as home is prewired on ceiling for 2 front and 2 rear speakers.
what kind of wire i need to buy for center speakers?please see starting post for details of HT components.
" If the sub is powered, a signal cable with RCAs on both ends. "
Subwoofer cable: coaxial w/RCA connectors , should be fine i think
-Component video cable to connect the DVD player to the TV
-Fiber optic audio interconnect from DVD to Receiver
-S-video cable for panasonic new vcr (SVHS)
now Tim,
why would i need
"4 coaxial audio interconnects with RCA plugs for VCR to Receiver and Satellite receiver to Sony Receiver
-2 coaxial video interconnects for Satellite receiver to TV
"
i am confused.
