It’s sorted out by list of sound/video (A/V) components in your home theater. (Sound sources are gadgets that give sound just playback in your home theater framework, while video sources give video or TV content.) The A/V framework gives the control to your home theater.  This means it lets you select what you need to watch or listen to, and does all the truly difficult work as far as sending sound to your speaker system. The video part, obviously, is the thing that you watch the media source from.


The table also lists some optional components — gaming systems and HTPC (home theater personal computer).  This lets you use a PC as a high-quality audio source device, or video source device, or both.
