just set-up my 5.1 the other day and will probably spend the next 2 week setting it up correctly, is there anyone on here thats a expert in the various levels that things have to be set at?

For helix - you will have to set the speakers up around the room above or at head level. Dont do what my folks did and have them on the floor behind stuff or you might as well throw your cash away coz it aint going to sound any better. If your worried about the cable colour then do what i did and rewire it with a more acceptable colour.

Putting mine up took around 2 hours although it would have been quicker if Idid not have so much stuff to move.

My system is a pacific one from asda and its got a aux input on the back and a aux2 on the front so i got my stereo in one and the tv (which also has phono audio out) in the other. Works a treat and the whole lot including the tv was under £200
