    Folks,
    I'm going to start to build myself up a eintertaiment system (TV, DVD, CD, record player etc).
    But I'm relatively new to the whole seperates thing.

    Can anybody recomment a good guide anywhere online to explain how this is best done?
    I have limited knowledge - I know about RCA connections for example, but I'm looking for things sush as

    What's the difference between digital and analogue? Not how they work, but what's the better/more common etc.
    When buying speakers, what is the default connection?
    What's important to look for when buying an amp?

    You get my drift.

    Any ideas? Unless people here would be happy to answer my mind-numbing questions...
    Cheers,

    S.

    /edit - also things like coxial, and "Component video" - what are the Y, Ca and Cr connections?

    I learned with a mix of www.avforums.com and google. Whenever I found something I didn't understand, just google it. Most guides I tried to read were either inaccurate, incomplete, trying to sell something or to simplified.
