A flip book for displaying electrical connection data for consumer electronic equipment on an arrangement of side-by-side panels includes nine FROM panels each of which is arranged with connection information for three different hook up options. Additionally included are eleven TO panels each of which is arranged with connection information for a corresponding item of consumer electronic equipment. The nine FROM panels are arranged on the left side of the flip book and each includes a tab portion identifying the corresponding item of consumer electronic equipment. The eleven TO panels are positioned on the right hand side of the flip book and include a tab portion identifying the corresponding item of consumer electronic equipment. A spiral binder allows the user to easily select the desired item of equipment by selecting the tab portion and flipping over any covering panels. Once the panels for the two items of equipment to be connected are selected and viewed in a side-by-side arrangement, the user is able to see what cable choices are available, what those cables look like, and the connectors or jacks to be used on each item of equipment. The three different hook up options also include information as to various cable lengths depending on the arrangement of the equipment. The disclosed flip book is intended to be used primarily at the point of sale so that the connections can be explained and the required cables obtained by the end user prior to leaving the consumer electronics store.
