Use the green, blue, red for video and white, red for audio. This will deliver the best resolution fron the cable box, you will also want to adjust the setting in the cable box to activate the 720p output, you should find this in the video setting menu of the cable box

I have a DVD/VHS player that uses RYW RCA connectors and a new 4k TV that has HDMI slots, plus one yellow and one blue round slots, neither of which fit the RCA cables. How do I connect them?

The red, white and yellow plugs from the reciever will plug into the red, white and green input plugs on the TV. Be sure to select "AV" mode on the TV and not "HDMI". The Green plug on component inputs is the Video input. Otherwise you can find an adaptor that will go to your hdmi ports via the rca jacks!!

I have an older onkyo 1994 or 1995 receiver dolby pro logic with the amplifier and 6 disk changer wnd the system is clear as could be in cd mode. my problem is Ihave my xbox hooked up to the tv with hdmi...

No no no!
# 1. You need to connect all your components to your TV via an HDMI cable. For true HD and digital sound this is needed. Your TV (if its an HD TV) should have 3 or 4 HDMI inputs. So your Xbox/PS3 should be connected via HDMI cable. Your HD sat or cable box should also be connected with an HDMI cable. Same for your Blu Ray player.

#2. Now that your components are connect in a way which will enable you to see their media in either 720p, 1080i or 1080p your ready to get the Digital sound to your speakers. On the back of your TV you should (again on most all HD tv's) have a digital audio (optical) out. You need to purchase a digital (optical) audio cable and plug one end into your tv's digital audio out jack. Then plug the other end into your audio receivers digital audio in jack. You may have to go into your receivers menu to select or enable the digital/optical input. Then you should be rocking and rolling with true digital DTS, Pro Logic, Pro Logic 2 in either 5.1 or 7.1...

Think of your TV as the hub. Connect all the components with HDMI cables. And then your TV to your receiver with a digital/optical cable. It's that simple.

Never never use the red and white cables for audio. They were designed for 2 channel stereo sound. They won't deliver 5.1 or 7.1 digital sound.

Also... Don't ever hook up any component using the old "yellow" video cable if you want picture quality better than 480i resolution. They won't do HD period.

Here is a list of the popular video cables and they highest resolution.

Yellow video cables - 480i resolution

S video (super video) cable - 480p

Component video cables (red/blue/green) - up to 720p

HIgh definition multimedia interface HDMI - up to 1080p (full HD) and digital sound.

Hope this helps...

How do i connect xbox to akura apl3268fd4 tv so its in hd

There are two ways to connect it.
1. The cable that came with your xbox should have two sets of plugs on it. One being the red, white, yellow and the other red, green, blue. You need to plug the red, green, and blue plugs into the tv with the same color plugs. You will also have to plug in the red and white for sound. The yellow plug is not needed. There will also be a switch at the base of the cable near the xbox. That needs to be set to HDTV. If your cable does not have the red, green, blue you will need to buy a cable that does have them.
2. You can use an HDMI cable. With that all you need to do is plug one end of the HDMI cable into the xbox and the other into the tv. Not all xbox's have the HDMI output though. If its new i should have it on the back of the xbox near the normal tv output slot.
If you use the red, green, blue you will have to set your tv on the component channel. If you use HDMI the tv will have to be on the HDMI channel
This will give you a more thorough explanation. http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/get-started/console/audio-video.aspx

How do I connect the tv to a satillite receiver?

You have multiple options here depending on the type of interconnect cables you currently physically have or are willing to purchase.
Below is a web site with a review of your monitor.
http://us.sanyo.com/LCD-Televisions/720p-31-5-HDTV

The best way is for you to have a HDMI cable. This carries your High Definition Video and digital audio from your Satelite Reciever all in one. The satelite box will also know that your monitor is only able to display the lower 720P resolution than the current 1080P resolution and will automaticly display images correctly.
HDMI is the highest and best way to connect your satelite box to your monitor.
Component - three wire cable 'Red, Green & Blue' is then the next best - note you will still need to have a stereo Audio cable also Red and White dual cable to connect also. This connection doesn't communicate with your monitor and you will have some set up to do on the mointor itself to display the resolution you would like. Between 720P, 'Highest resolution' , 720i ''next highest resolution' then 480p ' next in line' and then worse case 480i 'lowest resolution'.
If you don't have a HDMI cable - and go to by one. Don't go and buy the most expensive. It is best to keep the cable short as possible. HDMI doesn't effectly travel over long cables more than 8'. You will get color shifts in your images. Monstor cable is very expensive and not needed. Anything your local Wallmart and or Target have will be fine under 8 feet.

How do i hook up a nintendo to my tv which cords go where and can someone walk me through it

Round peg into the round hole. Red peg on the red slot. etc. If the wire from the nintendo doesn't fit the slot on the tv then you're in the wrong slot. if the wire from the nintendo fits the slot on the tv (and is the same color if you are using red/white/yellow rca cables) then you're good. here's a hint on connection types (you will not mix): 1. RCA (red/white/yellow round connectors) Red=right audio sound White=left audio sound Yellow=video connect to the slots that look like they want some. 2. Coaxial (stiff cable with a pinner poking out of the end -- same cable that connects you to cable tv) just hook it up by itself; it carries audio and video. 3. Component (red/green/blue)(red/white) two 'bundles' red=red component of video green=green component of video blue=blue component of video red=right audio white=left audio 4. VGA + (red/white) VGA=video (computer monitor cable) red=right audio white=left audio 5. HDMI (flat hdmi cable. you spent $30 on this 3 foot ****) HDMI=audio and video 6. hugs and kisses hugs=video kisses=audio (both sides)

How to hook up to cable box

There are several ways...
The best video connection is HDMI out to the TV HDMI in.
The next best is the RGD, Red, Green, Blue component connections

Make sure you check the cable box out put to make sure it is outputting the highest resolution that you're TV can handle (720P, 1080i , or best 1080P)

There may be some other things to do, but without more details of your question, this would seem to be the most basic answer.
