-   I am struggling with my dvd 5.1 home theater system. Everything works EXCEPT the dvd.. I can see the blue dvd symbol but it can't "read" the dvd. an rf modulator used to work for this prior to Tivo. No I have a pretty nice plasma hoping the updated tech would solve the prob...yeah, no! I feel as though I have tried everywhich way, but apparently I have not. My 5.1, the direct tv box, the super surge protector and the tv...I have adopted the cable jungle. Any tips?-   hapi chk
I do not have the photo of the back, but attached is a general wiring diagram for any Audio-video Home theater system. If you have a Home Theater Receiver, then hook it up as the diagram. If not, hook it up per the comments in the diagram. This is how I hooked up my ONKYO HT system with my SONY Combo DVD recorder and my Mitsubishi TV.
One thing to note on Combos, is that the VCR Tape section will not play through the High Definition connections (HDMI, and Digital Audio). You have to use the older method of Audio-Video (AV) cables or the Co-axial antenna cables.
You can ask more questions if there is any confusions.
Thanks for the help...in my technological retarded state I purchased a DVD player. I am about to buy a Yamaha surround sound so you will probably hear from me again. Thanks for your help.

I have my Sky TV & DVD sound through a VSX 454, and I get an "out of sync" or a slight delay between the sound and the picture on the TV. If I turn the sound down on the TV & listen to the stereo the picture and sound are out of sync. Sky & the DVD play fine just using the TV sound. I don't have a manual for the 454, so hoping someone might know what to try. Thanks.

Bought new Denon receiver. Hooked up main speakers to speaker A and 3 sets of small speakers (outside, living room and dining room (in wall) to speaker B. I use a splitter for the 3 speakers on B. The sound on A speakers is much louder than those on B switch. Anything I can do to equalize the sound for both A and B speakers. Had same problem with my old receiver which had total of 300 watts. The Denon has 570 watts.
