If you’re befuddled by some aspect of setting up a home theater, two new sources have become available to help.

The first is Joshua Zyber’s new HD Advisor column at High-Def Digest. Once a week, he answers reader questions about Blu-ray, high-def and home theater in general. His advice is straight-forward and easy to understand, and readers can jump over to the site’s forum for further discussion.

The second is from Don Lindich, whose syndicated AV column runs in the Star Tribune. He has just posted a detailed guide, with step-by-step photos, on how to set up a home-theater surround system. It’s one of many helpful guides on his Sound Advice website. If you don’t understand something, you can always send him a question, and he might even answer it in his column.

One thing mentioned at both websites that’s worth repeating: Don’t waste your money on overpriced cables. Monoprice is your friend. You’ll be amazed at the low prices it charges for all kinds of cables and adapters needed for your setup. The quality of its products is excellent, shipping charges are reasonable and service is prompt. What more could you want?
