Hullo,

I am back fresh from RS with my new Yamaha HTR5640 and I need to connect it up, some cables I have, some I don't. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my Yahama

and hear is what I have to connect and my options

LG3350E DVD Player -
Digital Out Coaxial,
Digital Out Optical,
S Video Out,
Scart In, Scart Out,
Auido L/R Out

Sony CDP-XE570 -
Digital Out Optical,
Audio L/R out

LG 32 Inch -
2 scarts (1 RGB),
S Video,
Composte In

Rio Riot -
3.5mm to Phono Out

Xbox -
Compsite/Scart Out

Toshiba V231UK VHS Recorder -
Scart in & Scart Out
Aerial in & Aerial Out

I also have a Btech BT21S Splitter thingy which has 3 Scart In, 1 marked TV, Composite and S-video.

My head is completely mashed, I have never had the chance to set it all up together but now I have this amp I feel it's only right to use every connection I can!

It will be finished off with my nice new shiny Wharfedale Cinema Screen 3 pack (luckily i can wire speakers....just). Yay!

Any advice at all would be very much appreciated including what type of cables i might need.

Thanks

Connecting to the Amp for the moment

Coaxial cable from DVD Player to Amp Coaxial
2 phono audio cable from CD player L/R to Amp CD L/R
Optical Xbox cable (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006ZS92/ref=sr_aps_videogames_1_2/202-5428556-6003042) from Xbox to Amp Optical
2 phono audio cable from TV L/R to Amp TV L/R
2 phono audio cable from VCR L/R to Amp VCR In TV L/R
2 phono audio cable from Rio Riot 35mm to Amp MD In TV L/R

Now the video

RGB Scart from DVD player to TV RGB Scart
Scart from VCR to TV
S-video/composite from Xbox to TV
Aerial cable to VCR Aerial in
Aerial cable from VCR Aerial out to TV Aerial in

I think that should work

ok been loooking at this this morning with fresh eyes

I dont have audio in/out on my TV or my Video.

So to get the audio of these coming through my amp, I am going to need to use the Btech Swicth unit? :confused:

Thoughts?
