Re: New receiver set up help
Hi Erik. Welcome to HTF!
My first advice:
- Receiver on lowest shelf in your rack. Leave lots of space above
- Cable box above the receiver
- Tivo above the cable box
- DVD player at the highest shelf so you dont have to stoop to interact.
Video Connections:
- HDMI or DVI video connection from Cable box straight to TV
- Component from DVD player straight to TV (unless it has HDMI out as well)
- Component or SVideo from Tivo straight to the TV
Audio Connections:
- Coaxial or Optical inputs from everything to the receiver.
- If the Tivo does not have digital outputs, use L/R RCA cables.
This is NOT the easiest system to use, but it is the best way to connect things. Video straight to TV, audio straight to Receiver.
Hope this helps.
