I just purchased a new Yamaha HTR-5790 receiver that should be here next week. Before it arrives, I want to have a plan for how each of my components will connect.
My cable Set-top box is a Motorola DCT 2000, but doesn't have many options--not equipped for optical, s-video or component connection. I can either connect to the receiver via a composit video output that is provided and run the audio via L/R outputs provided or use the single coax output that is currently hooked to a VCR and carries both sound and video signal. Which is the better option?
I plan to contact my cable company this week to see if they offer an upgrade, but if not, I have to use what I've got and I want the best it can provide.
Thanks,
Mike
