Hello, everyone-

I recently picked up a Yamaha HTR5760 receiver and need some help hooking it up to my DVD player and basic Sony TV (nonHD).

I've heard different ways hooking it up, but I'm looking for the most effective way. I've read the receiver manual and that helped a little, but I still have some questions. I'm confused when it comes to the optical, coaxial, component video, s video, etc...

I would like to have the TV sound play through my receiver as well. I do not have a cable box or satelite.

If possible, I am looking for some specific instructions. I apologize upfront for my ignorance when it comes to this.

**I know I need optical going out from my DVD player to the receiver. Do I also need coaxial from DVD to receiver?

**Is there also a video out from DVD to receiver, or is this taken care of with the optical/coaxial? [the receiver manual shows video out from DVD to video and s video and also to component video- that confuses me tremendously]

**How is the audio connected from DVD to receiver? Would this be an analog connection?

**Now, what about the connections with the TV? Would that be between the DVD and TV or the receiver and the TV? Would it be an S Video connection? How is the audio hooked up between the TV and receiver?

Thank you very much in advance with your help.

Please let me know if I need to clarify anything more.

Thanks again.
Eric
