Home Theater Cabling Cleanup (Again)
After previously making the effort to tidy up my home theater setup, I had unfortunately let that good work go to waste and once again was faced with an absolute mess. After putting it off for a while, I finally knuckled down this afternoon and pulled everything out. The additional impetus was provided by my brother lending me his old Blu-ray player — which was when I realized that plugging it in was going to be overly painful due to the tangled mess behind the component rack.
At any rate, I did some re-arranging, removed some extraneous cables and am quite happy with the result. With any luck I won’t let it get so ludicrously messy again (at least for a while…). So, as it stands, the setup consists of:
- Blu-ray Player
- DVB-T HD Tuner
- DVD Player (My Blu-ray Player only plays Region 4 Discs)
- Surround Receiver
- PC
- Xbox360 with HD-DVD
- PS2
- Gamecube
