DVD setup

[dellhome123]

Ok.. here's the setup..

i have a Pioneer SD533 widescreen TV
i also have a Pioneer DV-655A (same as 656A w/o DVD-Aud and SACD)..

My stereo system is going to be Yamaha RX-V1400 with Klipsch synergy speakers (maybe on the speakers)..

How do i need to hook up the DVD and TV?  Should i be using the 2 channel sound out or get a digital out?

I'm not real familiar with stereo terminology.. so bare with me on that..

thanks for any help..

The RXV1400 is a multi-channel receiver and should accomodate the DVD.  I suggest you connect the DVD's digital output, either opitcal or coaxial, to the receiver's digital input.  If you have no other video sources, like VHS or another DVD player, you could connect the DVD player's video output directly to the TV via the s-video or component (Y Cr Cb) terminals.  The latter requires 3 identicallly constructed and sized 75-ohm coax cables usually color coded yellow, green and blue.  Check with Radio Shack for component video cables.  Alternatively, you can connect the TV to the receiver's monitor output, also via component or s-video.  This way, you can control your receiver via the remote and OSD or On Screen Menu which is displayed over whatever is on the TV. Hope this helps.
