problems with DVD and DVR since hooking up new TV

[. Raine]

OK, here is my setup:

Yellow/white/red cables hooked up in video 1 on DVR and UHF/VHF input on DVD
Green/blue/red cables hooked up in output component video on DVD and video in on TV
Coaxial cables (2) the one that comes from the wall is connected to 3-way splitter on DVR; the second cable is connected to ant. cable on TV and out plugin on DVD
My HDMI cable is connected to HDMI 2 slot on TV (this is what TV is set to) and other end in the DVR

Does this sound like the right hookups for everything?

The green, blue and red cables [component] hooked up in output component video on DVD and video in on TV are video only - there should be red and white plugs on that cable for audio that would need to be hooked up or you'll have no sound on those inputs/outputs.

Thanks for confirming what I said.

Still not getting sound from DVD; still can't record from DVR to DVD

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those of you weighed in on my issue (see original from April 1) but I am still having the same problems. It's got to be something that's not plugged in right. Please read over my original description of exactly what is plugged into what, and let me what doesn't sound right.

From your receiver, do you have the red/white/yellow outs hooked up to the correct in's on the dvdr? How do you have the dvdr hooked up to your tv?

Merged to relevant similar thread.

They should be connected to the r/w/y input in the dvdr.

Green/blue/red cables hooked up in output component video on DVD and video in on TV

You need to connect the r/w audio cable from the dvdr to the correct in on the tv, or use an hdmi cable to connect the 2. You need to select the correct input on your tv. hdmi2 for the dvr and conncect the dvdr to hdmi1.

If you can't figure it out, pm with your phone number and a good time to call and I'll try to help you over the phone.

As others have said, when you use Red/Green/Blue component cables for video, you also have to have red/white audio cables connected as well. See the blue section at the bottom center of this image:

I suppose you could also use TOSLink audio.
