Connecting your TV to your Receiver
by Sammy Satellite. – Staff Writer for n2news
Connecting your receiver to the TV is the first step in getting into the world of FTA. Some might say it’s the most important step! The first thing you need to do is get a good look at the connection on the back of your receiver and the back of your TV. Use Sammy’s chart starting at the top to figure out the best connections to use:
| My T.V. Has…. |
I should connect…. |
A small horizontal plug that looks like it could fit a nickel called an HDMI plug.
|
If your receiver supports HDMI output, simply connect the two and you’re set. This offers the best picture quality and audio in the same cable.
|
A set of 3 plugs colored Red, Green, and Blue also called Pr, Pb, Py component cables.
|
If your receiver has the same connectors use these with a nice shielded cable. A tip from Sammy, don’t waste your money on Moster Cables!
These three cables get you a picture so you’ll still need sound. Connect the Red and White cables to the Red and White audio input on your TV or Stereo Receiver.
|
A small black circle with 5 little holes called an S-Video connection.
|
There is a good chance your T.V. and Receiver have an S-Video connection and it’s a good idea to use it if you don’t have Component Video or HDMI. You’ll still need sound so connect those Red and White cables for audio.
|
A yellow RCA jack
|
This is the last resort connection but every TV and Receiver supports it for a reason. The Yellow RCA Video input is like Sammy’s dog, it’s old but it still has some life left in it.
|
If you have a surround sound system, and everyone should, then you want to connect the audio from the back of the receiver directly into the sound system. The best way to do this is with an Orange audio jack that is labeled “Digital Cable” or “Digital Coax”. If your receiver doesn’t have the orange connector, look for a small square connector that says “Optical”. For this you’ll need an inexpensive Optical Audio cable from any superstore. Finally, you may use the Red and White audio cables if you don’t plan to watch movies with full surround sound.
