Well I guess the first question I would ask is what kind and how many inputs does the tv and reciever have? I have only 3 components, my tivo, 360 and PS3 (for blu ray only), and they all run hdmi into my reciever. The tivo goes hdmi into the AVR for when I want to watch tv stuff in 5.1 other wise I have it running component straight into the back of the tv.

Again it all depends on the hardware you have.

Does the reciver have digital in and out capabilities? The little squarish looking port?

What cables do you have for the 360?

What cables do you have for the dvd player?

Is there a speaker selection button on the front of the receiver?

Ummm I have to be honest here, with the cables you have and the lack of inputs on that reciever, I wouldn't even begin to guess how you had anything hooked up. Unless your tv has alot of inputs and a couple outputs I wouldn't have a clue on where to start.

I'm usually the one that does there stuff. LOL

Seriously with no video ins and outs on that receiver I wouldn't know what to do either unless you had some sort of a/v switch box.

Well on the red/white/yellow cords the yellow is usually designated as video. Sorry I just took a look at my hook up with the magic of flash, I only need to have the camera pointed in the general direction of what I want to shoot, photography and I do have a up convert dvd player hooked up too. I only forgot about it because it hasn't been turned on in over a year and a half. Its a mess of wiring is what it is.

Yes video in and out on a receiver. Mine has a digital audio  The 3 HDMI ins are my 360, PS3, and Tivo. The reciever of course decodes the audio and send the video on through to the tv. Now on some older receivers, newer than yours, there was Svideo and component outs for similar set ups like my hdmi wiring. I ran out of HDMI ports on my reviver so I went hdmi from the UC dvd player into the tv and have a digital coax going back to the receiver. Its pretty horrible.  But I digress.

Taking another look at your receiver its stereo only so video ins and outs never happened. That would lead me to believe you had the 360 and dvd player going straight into the back of the tv and then used the 1 audio OUT on the tv to the back of the receiver.

So its would, if I'm right go like this. I am assuming you don't use the vcr part of the dvd/vhs combo machine -

dvd player -  go from the dvd/vhs OUT port to the back of the tv (channel 2) with the red/white/yellow cords. Now you'r going to run a red and white cord from the audio OUT on the tv to the receiver so you can have sound, again unless you want sount though your tv.

dvd player option 2 - Run b/r/g AND a red/white to the back of the tv and then a different r/w out to the receiver.

360 - Run the R/G/B wire to 4 or 5 that'll take care of the video. However you are going to run the red/white wires that split off from the 360 cord and go straight into your receiver, unless you want sound through your tv.

Glad I took those pictures and typed that other stuff out, it got my brain in gear.



 

Well, the video shows up on the TV, but there is no sound for either the DVD/VCR or Xbox coming out of the receiver. As far as the Xbox cable, it doesn't have the Red, White only connections. The other half of the Yellow, Red, White is the Green, Blue, Red connectors.

Okay. Will need to re-hook again. Also, I just noticed that the front of my DVD player comes with Video Audio In ports. But I never used the front for connections before.
