<font color='#000000'>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.</font>
