Hi guys. Great service. Having some difficulties with video input/output. Here's the situation:
Have a dual DVD-VCR from Sony (new). Outputs are:
VCR: Video, left audio, right audio
DVD: Component out, coax digital audio out, left audio, right audio
(no S-Video or optical)
My Sony TV is connected to my Denon AVR-4800 via S-Video cable to the Monitor 1 out on the 4800.
I've connected the VCR video to the VCR video in on the 4800
I've connected the VCR audio to the VCR audio left/right in on the 4800
There are no problems with the audio for VCR when the 4800 has VCR as the selection
I've connected the DVD component outs (R/G/B) to the 4800's component in for DVD using monster cable component video cables. I've connected the DVD audio using the DVD digital coax cable and connecting it to the 4800's coax 1 RCA coax connector.
My TV/DBS setup is fine (S-video from my DirecTV receiver into the S-video TV/DBS in. TV displays fine and audio is fine.
Here are the problems:
1. When VCR is selected on the 4800, I do not have video going to my TV (which is tuned to Video 1 input). I have audio.
2. When DVD is selected on the 4800, I do not have video coming to the TV (routed through the 4800 from the R/G/B inputs and theoretically out through the S-Video Monitor 1 output), AND I do not have audio output through the digital coax.
I just do not know enough about the paths inside the 4800 to know what I can and cannot do. For example, is it even possible to route Component video into the 4800 then out through S-Video to the TV? Plus, why wouldn't the digital coax audio be outputting to the 4800?
Help! I'm stumped...
