Home theater question

Well kiddles, it's time for my biennial stupid question.

I scooped a big screen TV back in December (not HDTV), brand new 54" Panasonic for $500. And then I found a set of 5 home theater speakers new on clearance for $50. And then I found a Panasonic A/V processor on clearance for $150.

So I'm happy with all that, but I'm (here's a surprise) confused. Can someone show me to a good site where I can try to figure out how to hook all these toys together the right /best way?

I've got way too many choices for how to hook the units up and not enough knowledge. S-video, Component video outs and ins on different things. Digital hookups, all that good stuff. My heads swimming, but before I go and buy a whack of new cabling, I want to do it right. Thanks folks.

Don't buy the Monster Cable though, there are much more affordable cables out there.

Check out Monoprice.com (I think that's it) for cables.
