| 809961 | 2009-09-14 01:41:00 | Hi there sorry not very techno savy and was hoping someone out there could save me having a mental breakdown!! We have had sky set up with our tv and unfortunately the dvd/surround sound and video weren't set up properly again!! So we have a Samsung tv (5yrs old -ish) sony DVD Home theatre system Sky and an old panasonic NV-HD620 So what plugs into where???? What is the easiest way to tune (set- up) video?? Thanks so much to anyone who can start me on the right track with this. |

Would you be able to take a picture of the back of the whole lot, making sure the jacks and jack labels are visible and I can draw up a diagram showing you where everything needs to go, failing that provide model numbers of the equipment so we can see what's got what inputs/outputs etc etc General rule is everything goes into the home theater receiver and from there video goes into the TV, however I don't know what kind of home theater receiver you have, some don't have the necessary inputs. The VCR doesn't need tuning at all, because you're using the Sky decoder to receive TV. You should be able to connect a secondary output from the Sky decoder into AV1 on the VCR to record Sky if you want to be able to do that. |

I have got some JPEG's of the jacks but after reading the FAQ's etc I don't think I can attach anything or have an IMG button enabled???? Sorry to be a pain in the butt if you have any ideas please let me know my e-mail is [edit: email address removed] if you are allowed to reply to that so I can send them ( not sure of ettiquette about this stuff???) Thanks again |

| 809966 | 2009-09-14 20:47:00 | Lets start with your sky box. Take the audio out leads and plug those into the audio in of your video. Take the video OUT (yellow socket) and plug that into video IN of the Video. Grab another set of RCA to RCA leads and plug those into the Video and Audio OUT sockets of the video. Take the video lead and plug that into Video In on the TV on input one. Then take the Audio OUT leads and plug those into Audio IN on the DVD/HT player. Then lastly plug your component out from your DVD to component IN on your TV (which you have already done) |

| 809967 | 2009-09-14 22:32:00 | The component plugs on your tv should also not be red white or yellow either they should be red green and blue. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 809968 | 2009-09-15 07:38:00 | The component plugs on your tv should also not be red white or yellow either they should be red green and blue. The color of the leads has no effect on the video signal. |

| 809970 | 2009-09-15 18:51:00 | The color of the leads has no effect on the video signal. Correct. But do make sure they are all the same length. |
