need some help with set up

[Mitchell Torres]

OK currently I have a standard satelite box wihth the coax coming into it and the commponent (yellow for video and red and white for audio) cables going into my receiver.

I am trying to set it up so that I dont always have to use the receiver to get video or audio, is there a way to hook it up so that the TV can be turned on and listened to without having to use the receiver but still have the receiver involved as well?

Connect the coax out from the box directly to the TV. Then also connect the red, white, yellow to the receiver, then the video to the TV.

This will let you use the standard coax input for 'casual' listening/watching through one input and the composite/receiver connection for more detailed occasions. You'll just need to make sure your receiver is turned down or switched to a different input or you'll get sound from both. This will also obviously require you to change inputs on the TV for the 2 different sources.
