Connecting A/V to TV, DVD & Cable
|
New member Username: Dd1967Post Number: 2 Registered: Jul-06 | I apologize if this has already been asked.... I just acquired a Harman Kardon receiver w/ all the connections. Have a TV with coax and digital connections hooked up to my Samsung DVD. Do I connect the Optical cable from the DVD to my receiver? If so, anything else? Also, do I connect the "audio out" cables from the cable box to the receiver? Thanks! |

It shows the best connection for two units, separately. Unless I'm missing something, it shows hooking up the Receiver and DVD to the same video out connections on the TV. Should I connect the Receiver to the TV and DVD only to the Receiver? I'v got 3 Video in and out connections all with Svideo. Thanks. |

New member Username: ElectronicsgeniusnotPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | Help. Have a Samsung DLP HDTV, DVD-VCR combo and Motorola digital cable box, and a bunch of cables. The cable box only has the Red,White,Yellow hook ups. The DVD-VCR combo has green,blue,red hook ups and red,white,yellow. Also has a plate that states "DVD only". Any help with how these all go together would be appreciated. |

Connect the component out red/blue/green to the TV and set the DVD in the combo on progressive scan, you'll need the red/white audio outputs connected too. Connect the yellow/white/red out of the VCR to an open input on the TV. If you don't want to record on the combo, connect the RCAs straight to the TV. |
