While easy to overlook, this simple step can save you a lot of time and trouble if you ever need to disconnect or relocate your receiver in the future.</p> <p>Few people realize that most A/V receivers come with pre-printed labels for just this purpose. As you connect each source (TV, CD player, etc.), simply find the corresponding label and attach it to the cable. That way, should any of your cables get disconnected, you’ll know exactly where to reconnect them.</p> <p>Today’s high-end receivers come with labels for just about every kind of component, so you shouldn’t have a problem ensuring accuracy. So, don’t throw out those labels—use them! </p>
