OK, so I got this new system an I want to hook it up but I ain't sure how to do it. It was an open box with no instructions. It has a DVD unit an some small speakers, a big speaker an another thing that is bigger with a hole in it. I figured out that the speakers hook up to the back of the DVD unit but I don't understand what C, FL, FR, RL, RR and SW stand for.

    C- center channel
    FL- Front Left
    FR- Front right
    RL- Rear left
    RR- Rear right
    SW- Subwoofer

    Sounds like a HTIB (home theater in a box). Not sure if you have speaker wire but the main unit should have speaker outputs in the back labled as I described above. Just match up your speakers to the appropriate connections. The sub is the largest speaker with the port. The center may look a little different than the other 4.
