Most audio receivers have types and several inputs available . The TV will likely have only two types. One will be the standard Red and White RCA connectors. Others may not have the RCA but a 2.5 mm headset connector. Some TV's will have an optical link connection. And a few will have a digital connection. The digital is a single RCA type connector but of a much better quality than the vintage.
The digital and optical; are the highest quality and would be the first choice for best audio/surround/Dolby. The RCA Red and White is next. The 2.5 mm headset is the least desirable.
Some receivers are programmable for the optical and digital inputs. You would need to reference the receiver manuals to determine the setup. The default setup will work but a little trial and error may be required to determine what input goes to what device. ie the DVD might be connected to the TV input (can be a little confusing)?
After connecting the best quality output of the TV into the receiver it is necessary to go into the TV setup menu to turn off the TV internal speakers and I would set the audio output to fixed. The variable output setting can be confusing where both the receiver and TV can set the volume.. The volume will now be set where the receiver can control the volume and not the TV,
