Taking the kind advice of a member of this forum, I bought a home theater system for my new TV and tried to connect them, along with my DVD recorder/player and satellite receiver. I tried to connect them in series: satellite receiver to DVD recorder to AV receiver to TV, thinking I could then record whatever appears on screen. That didn't work.
So I found an online site that offered a hook up diagram for the four devices, instructing me to connect the satellite receiver to the TV then the DVD recorder to the satellite receiver. The AV receiver connected to the TV. I still can't get the home theater system to work when watching TV, such as a Netflix movie streaming in via ethernet cable connected to the TV.
After reading the manuals, I became so confused and mentally exhausted that I gave up. So I drew the back of each device and attached them to this post, hoping someone will lend me a hand...tell me how to connect the four devices. I have all the cables, HDMI, toslink, component, and composite.
