Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Need much help with getting a system!

Let's get the approach right before we start running cables. I'm thinking :

- use the tuner in the VCR/DVD player so cable input goes to the VCR, not the TV. Take the batteries out of the TV remote and put it away unless you need it to turn the TV on and off...

- run VCR/TV and DVD as separate inputs on the receiver, using comp video and stereo audio (red/white) cables for the VCR/TV, S-Video and digital coax for the DVD.

- run S-Video from receiver to TV, all audio goes through the main speakers not the TV speakers (ie no audio feed to the TV)

- if the receiver can switch and convert to component video (ie if the rightmost set of component video RCAs are "monitor out") then replace "S-Video" with "component video" everywhere above...
