Where do you lay the red, yellow and white cables?

Use the yellow cable to connect it to the monitor’s video input jack (also usually yellow, but may be green if your monitor’s component video input is dual-powered). Red and white go from the audio output of your source to the audio input of your speakers (which may also be part of your TV).

Can you use red-white-yellow wires for components?

The AV input you are referring to (yellow, white and red) is composite video (yellow) and stereo audio (red and white). You can use any RCA cable (they’re all the same even though they have different colored heads) to connect composite or component video.

How to connect red and white audio cables?

You can find them on the back of the TV. The red jack is for right channel audio output and the white jack is for left channel audio output. Connect the two cables to the two audio output jacks you just found on the back of the TV.

How do I connect my home theater to my television and my decoder?

HDMI Connections

  • Move the TV, cable box and stereo as close as possible. Typically, a home theater system has all the components in one easily accessible box.
  • Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI output of the set-top box. Plug the other end into an HDMI input on your HDTV.

    • How do I connect my surround sound to my decoder?

    Connecting surround sound via HDMI

  • Make sure all items are disabled.

  • The other end of the same cable should be plugged into the receiver for surround sound.
  • Take the second HDMI cable and plug it into the TV video out connector on your receiver.

    • How do I connect my cable box to my AV receiver?

    Connect the satellite (or cable box) to the AV receiver. Connect one end of another HDMI cable to the satellite receiver (or set-top box) and connect the unused end of that cable to the TV/SAT HDMI input on the AV receiver (or simply select an available HDMI input on the AV receiver ).

    Is it better to run HDMI through the receiver?

    HDMI is best if your receiver supports it, so use it if you can. In general, it’s best to run anything that can output surround sound directly to the AV system and pass it through that to the TV.

    Does the receiver affect image quality?

    AV receivers affect video quality. You can improve lower quality signals with video processing such as upscaling. But they can also degrade quality by adding unnecessary video processing to signals they don’t need.

    Does the receiver need to support 4K?

    For 4K, the entire channel must be 4K compatible. So if you buy a new 4K TV, feed it 4K via HDMI sources, and want to switch those sources using an AV receiver (as opposed to the TV), you’ll need to buy a new receiver which will manage these 4K sources.
