Not sure how to hookup my VCR and DVD players. I have a Sony STR-DE695 AV receiver and an HDTV ready[would have to purchase box down the road] with three inputs Vid 1,2 &3.
Do I hookup my VCR & DVD player directly to the T.V. by passing the receiver, or do i hook them up to my Sony receiver and from the receiver to the TV via vid 1 & 2? The VCR would be composite, and the DVD would be s-video.

what are the advantages either way? Also, how would i hookup the audio cables?

thanks for all your past help guys,

Burt
