When choosing Audio and Video Cables for home theater systems, you must be precise with the cables you choose for the best quality. If you connect a poorly made cable, or one that doesn’t fit the needs of the system, both the audio and video effects will be damaged.

After you purchase you’re audio/video system, connecting the cables and wiring the boxes are the most important factors for high quality, do research on your particular product and don’t hesitate to ask questions!

Here is a list of important questions that must be asked to configure the wiring for your product:

1. What will you be using your cable for? Finding a cable with all the capabilities that you need, and not one with more features than you'll use, can really help you optimize your system without breaking your budget.
2. What kind of signal will it need to carry? 
If you're hooking up an old VCR, and then it's okay to opt for a lower-quality connection. But if you're connecting a high-def. cable box to your HDTV, then you'll want to go with an HD-capable cable, like HDMI.
3. What length do you need? 
Measure the distances between your components to make sure your cables are long enough, especially if your components are shelved in such a way that the rear panels are difficult to access.
4. Any installation considerations? 
If you're planning to install your cables in your walls, make sure any wire you're putting behind a wall is UL-rated for that purpose

Once all of these questions are answered, and the correct cables are installed into the right jacks, your system should be in the highest quality.
