wiring my home cinema

[admin_exported]

hello and thank you for reading this and hopefully being able to answer my question.

i am new to the home cinema world after years of nagging the wife to let me spend some money!!!, i have been out and bought the following:-

panasonic th42pz70 full 1080 plasma

sony bdps300 blu ray player

kef kht3005se speaker package

sony strda1200 es receiver

i am also using my faithful old sony dvd recorder in the system.

my question is probably an easy one for someone in the know, but what is the best way to hook this kit up to obtain the best quality sound and vision, bearing in mind i just blew most of budget on the kit. i am not looking for the cheapest solution nor am i looking for the most expensive.

oh and i forgot to mention sky+ is my digital tv.

many thanks

chris
