How to Hook Up an AV Receiver to Disk Player to HDTV

It is possible to hook up A/V receivers to your high-definition television.

An audio/video receiver (AV) is a device that accepts audio and video signals, allowing you to send the information to outside devices, such as a television system. This is helpful if you do not have enough connection ports on the high-definition television. Setting up this configuration only takes a few moments to complete, giving you more time to enjoy your audio/video equipment.

Things You'll Need

• DVD player
• 2 sets of RCA audio/video cables

Instructions

1. Plug the first set of red, yellow and white RCA audio cables into the "Video Out" ports on the DVD disc player.

2. Connect the opposite ends of the cables into the "Video In" ports on the A/V receiver.

3. Plug the second set of RCA audio/video cables into the "Video Out" ports on the A/V receiver, then insert the other ends of the cables into the "Video In" ports on the HDTV.

4. Power on the high-definition television, DVD disc player and A/V receiver. Select "Video" as the input option on the TV and the DVD information loads onto the screen, running through the connected A/V receiver.
