Unregistered guest | I have a TV, DVD, & receiver. TV -(1) set of component IN (& S video) DVD - (1) set of component OUT (plus s-vid & optical) Receiver has (2) component IN & (1) component out. (plus s-vi & optical) What is the best way to hook this up for clearest sound & video? THANK YOU for the help |

Makes it a whole lot easier as well, rather switching the TV by remote to the S-video mode, but if you don't mind, that's OK. |

JTOUPS1214 Unregistered guest | So "Johnman," You're saying I won't need a set of Audio cables if I hook it up your way? |
|
JTOUPS1214 Unregistered guest | "Andy Summers," my AVR has neither S-video input or output. So that won't work. |

JTOUPS1214 Unregistered guest | Let's say I hookup my DVD to TV (using Component Video.) If I hookup my DVD then to my AVR (using the optical digital)...will I get surround ONLY when watching a DVD or when I'm watching TV also? I want to achieve surround out of TV also! Thank YOU! |

JTOUPS1214 Unregistered guest | Will sound come out of you TV speakers when you watch a DVD? becuase hooking it up that way puts no audio cable from DVD to TV. |
