I have a Sony VCR, Sony PS3, Verizon FIOS Motorola HD Set Top Box, Technics Phonograph and Harmon Kardon Tape Deck. 1 HDMI cable is connected to a Toshiba flat screen. The PS3 and Set top are connected by HDMI to the receiver. The VCR and phonograph are connected to the receiver. The Sony VCR won't play video through the receiver and if I understand correctly from other postings the receiver won't convert analog to digital and play through the HDMI so I have to connect this directly to the TV. The PS3 plays Blu Rays fine but the audio on DVDs cuts in and out. It sounds like I should use optical for the audio and connect the HDMI directly to the TV for this issue or is there a better solution. Also to get the phone to work I need a preamp? Is that correct?

Solved problem with Yamaha HTR-6040 AV Receiver. My daughter had inadvertently changed the program to "Direct Stereo" mode which allows sources to bypass the decoders and DSP processors so you can listen to 2-Channel PCM and Analog sources. Nothing to decode digital audio in this setting!

After further research, I learned that I need to plug the turntable into a preamp before plugging it into my newer receiver. As with cassettes, record players are fading away. I ordered a preamp, but won't be able to experience success until it arrives.

Modern AV receivers rarely contain PHONO preamps.
A traditional turntable requires a preamp inline with it to PRE amplify and frequency-balance the minute signal produced by it's cartridge. Most stereo receivers and preamps have Phono connections and internal preamplification strictly for that purpose. Yours does NOT.
A standard turntable will require you to acquire an external PHONO preamp to place between the TT and an Aux connction on the receiver.
Some of the newer turntables come with selectable internal preamplification to solve the lack of it in modern equipment. If your turntable is that type you can select its internal preamp output and run that to an AUX input.
