You may have surmised by my user name, I'm not up to speed in the audio/visual world. Recently I purchased a Sony Bravia HDTV and a Yamaha HTR6230 receiver to run my Panasonic DVD/VCR combo. The TV has all the current inputs but the combo is about eight years old. The Yamaha receiver is a little difficult for someone used to a red and a white. There is no satellite nor cable box involved. The DVD combo has RGB outputs and optical audio - DVD only while the VCR portion has in/out composite YWR. The Yamaha book says DVD RGB to component in/under DVD and out to TV under monitor out (RGB). On the TV, aligned with the component in are two audio connectors - where are they connected on the receiver? The VCR part is a bigger mystery. Here again the book states 'using the DVR in/out connectors, bring composite video from the VCR, input to ouput and vice versa then connect the AV video monitor out to video in on the TV. While I'm on a roll, I'd like to also run the TV audio through the AV to benefit from the speakers - thought an optical connection from TV to receiver would do it - no joy. The DVD video is working but no audio - help
