Connecting a new HDTV / Blu Ray to an old aiwa av-d57 digital receiver

I am having a difficult time getting the receiver to work with the tv. The receiver does not have hdmi but it does have an orange coax cable hookup and a optical digital cable hookup.

Right now - I have an HDMI cable from the cable box to the tv and from the blu ray to the tv. I have an analog cable (red/white/yellow) from the AV IN 1 to the back of the receiver DVD /video 1 slots. I also have an analog cable from the back of the receiver (video 2) to the DVD blu ray player. I was able hook up my old cd player to the receiver and have sound.

The back of the tv has one set of analog (red/yellow/white) AV IN 1; an optical cable output; and a section that has component in with R/L red/white audio; and the red/blue/green video inputs.

Since my receiver does not have the red/blue/green outputs; only red/white/yellow - it seems like I will not be able to use these.


I think if I can hook an optical cable from the tv to the receiver; that may work... that will bring the audio from the tv to the receiver but do i need a video connection also?

I also want to hook up a WII game set and a VCR - which will need the AV IN 1 analog slots. I will probably rarely use the VCR so could just switch it with the WII if I did want to use the VCR.

I tried the pdf doc on this website; but it doesn't list types of cables; only components.

can anyone explain this in simple terms; i used to be pretty good at hooking up electronics; but that was along time ago and everything is much more complicated now. My age is showing.. any help will be appreciated

Welcome to eCoustics kwt!

You can hook your TV to receiver with the Optical output. You doesn't need to hook the video output on your receiver!

To help us list your brand and Model of your receiver then your TV!

My Sharp Aquos has 9 inputs but many tV has only 3.

You can buy a automatic switching box if you can't hook all your componants.

I got Aquos 52'' 4 month ago then I like this TV, the color is great as wel that contrast(black)!
I hooked my new PC with HDMI on it then the 1080p video on youtube look as well that with my BlueRay, the ATSC tuner is a must, I get 1080i from Radio-Canada HD with better color and as sharp picture that my BlueRay.

I heard that the input board experiment few problem on older model, I hope that I will not have this problem!

glad to hear Plymouth about sharp ..
is it the quattron?
those are getting really good reviews and I myself love the blacks..
this tv best most panasonic black levels for a lack of noise in the blacks.

I'm recomending them for my customers for they're home theaters along with panasonic G or V series.

I don't mean any disrespect but LCD can not stand up to plasma in any category except brightness after that it is all down hill.
