			# Select the Inputs that the A/V Devices will be using.
			# Select the A/V Device connected to this input.
			# Select the proper Input for the A/V Device (ie AV, RGB, etc.)

			Once the association is made LinuxMCE will make the necessary connections and allow you to start using your A/V Device in concert with the capture device.

The list on top represents that types of devices that you can add to your system. The smaller window below represents the devices are currently added to your system. Starting with the device which is going to have the most other devices connected is the best first step. For most people it is either the TV or the Receiver/Amp, as this will allow for a more fluid setup.

			# Select the type of Device you would like to add.
			# Select the Manufacture of the Device you would like to add.
			# Select the Model number of the Device you would like to add.
			# Select whether or not this device is connected to any of your other devices, if so select that device.
			# Select the input of the previous device this new device is connected to (ie AV, RGB, etc.)

			If your device is not currently present on the lists then there is no support for that device currently, but support can be added by build a new device template for your device. [[LinuxMCE Admin Website]] is currently the only method available for building new device templates.
