Yamaha amplifier setup screen always shows on wrong tv input (DVD) instead of TV input.

Yes, to get sound from your Roku TV to your receiver when using the TV's built-in apps (such as switching to TV sound), you might need more than just RCA cables. RCA cables only carry analog audio signals, and many modern devices, including Roku TVs, use digital audio signals for better quality.
Here's what you can do to ensure you're getting sound from your Roku TV to your receiver:

1. Check Audio Settings on Roku TV:
   • Go to your Roku TV's settings menu.
   • Look for the audio settings section.
   • Make sure the audio output is set to the correct option for your receiver. This is usually HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) or Optical audio.
2. Use HDMI Cable with ARC Support:
   • If your receiver and TV support HDMI ARC, connect an HDMI cable between the ARC HDMI port on your TV and the ARC HDMI port on your receiver.
   • Ensure that the HDMI input on your receiver corresponds to the HDMI ARC output on your TV.
   • In the TV's audio settings, select HDMI ARC as the audio output.
3. Use Optical Cable (if no HDMI ARC):
   • If your TV and receiver don't support HDMI ARC, you can use an optical audio cable (Toslink cable).
   • Connect one end of the optical cable to the optical audio output on your TV.
   • Connect the other end to the optical audio input on your receiver.
   • In the TV's audio settings, select optical audio as the audio output.
4. Configure Receiver Settings:
   • Ensure that your receiver is set to the correct input source for audio. For example, if you're using HDMI ARC, select the corresponding HDMI input on your receiver.
5. TV App and Volume Settings:
   • When using apps on your Roku TV, make sure the volume is turned up and not muted within the app itself.
   • Adjust the TV's volume settings to an appropriate level that allows your receiver to amplify the sound effectively.
6. Test with Different Content:
   • Test the setup with different apps on your Roku TV to ensure that the issue is not specific to a certain app.

If you've tried these steps and are still not getting sound from your Roku TV through your receiver, it's possible that there might be compatibility issues between your TV and receiver. You could also try reaching out to Roku's customer support or your receiver's manufacturer for further assistance.

Assuming that you plugged the video cable from the Wii into the "VIDEO IN" connections on the Magnavox, you need to do two things:
1) go into SETUP and make sure the inputs are set to regular/composite, NOT S-Video
2) use channel -/+ on the Maxnavox remote to select the correct input

hi,
u can make connections only through digital inputs(optical and coaxial). u can connect the digital outputs of ur dvd and cable set top box to the receiver. no way to connect HDMI. HDMI is a high definition media interface. for using it u have to go for a av receiver that supports HDMI.
ok

These days the video input channel depends on the TV and any other equipment in the sequence. I've seen component video come in as Line, Channel 3/4 (with a switch on the video device), Aux1, Ex1, AV1, Channel 60 (I think that may be specific to satellite dish receivers). If the remote has an input button, try that (alternatively, look in the menu for source options). One thing to try: press the PSCAN button on the DVD remote (to toggle off the Progressive scan).

On some TVs the channel for the video is reached by going down from Channel 2 (this works when no channels are programmed into memory and the intervening channels are skipped).

What TV are you connecting to the DVD/VCR player? (If it is an older TV and any external device was connected to either channel 3 or 4, check that the TV works with any input device. I had a 19 year old TV (coax in only) that was damaged and no external device worked.)

I wish that I could be of more help.

Greetings ! Hopefully you followed the instructions on page 18 - 20 of the Yamaha manual... then set the Flat screen or monitor to one of the two inputs that you view movies or dvd's on . I would try it first without HDMI cables as even the book states some monitors do not accept or see hdmi. try it with the dvd cables.
You have to follow the book carefully as I have the same system . Its a complicated system and I was informed , "a lot of people do not know how to set the system up and end up returning a perfect system..." from the Geek squad from Best Buy. Just follow carefully the manual.

does the dvd have a coax output for coax antenna input on the tv? you can use that untill you can get the video input selection straight with the tv and a remote that supports rca's extra functions such as menu , tv/av button
or
also if there is a( wake-up) on/off timer in the tv menu , then you can also set it to come on with the video input instead of a tv station,set it a few minutes after the time it is when you set it( then just turn off the tv set after the time is set and you have exited the menu, then it will come on with the video input instead of a tv station)
otherwise you will need that remote that supports the video input selection on your tv

try turning the channel up or down with the tv remote to input 1 or 2 depending on which one is being used for the dvd player. tv should use input 1. dvd should be on input 2.
when turning the channel set it to show the dvd screen, then go up 1. if it doesn't show, return and go down 1.

dvd and dish tv optical inputs from both dvd and tv if tv has opticl out or give optical out from hd receiver. or rc pins from hd or tv to dtv/cable input of yamaha

I have Polaroid TV Monitor HDMI LCD 15.4" no power light on TV, blank screen, the power adaptor is Ok 12VDC supply. I need suggestion; in any possible problem or parts busted?

I assume your plasma set has one or more auxillary (component) inputs, and to one of these is where you should hook in the VCR. You will have a video input jack, and a set of audio input jacks (probably 2 for stereo) for each of these aux. input sets. While exact setups differ, depending on your cable box(es), DVD players, and whatever other equip., a likely hookup is from the VCR video & audio outputs to one set of the aux. inputs on the plasma set. When you want to use the VCR for playback, you must select that particular aux. input with the plasma remote. Some of the hookups these days get complicated by all the equip. some have, but the above is at least a start. Thanks
