groups.com,
ConfusedEasily puked up the following:

I have Denon AVR3805 plus a matching DVD player, Sky + box and
recently acquired 42" Panasonic Plasma.I also have a surrond sound
speaker system hooked off this - Infinity Aureous.

I can get the Sky box and TV to play through the speakers, but caanot
for the life of me get the DVD palyer to play a DVD and play through
the speakers.

I am a non technical person and found the manuals very tricky along
with trying to assign the various ports on the Amp.

My current config is
There are Scart connections from TV to Sky and TV to DVD player. A
Denon link connection between the two Denon Machines. Finally there is
an S video cable running from the DVD to the Amplifier....

My questions:
1. I need to get it work sensibly, how do I connect it all up !
2. WHat is the best way to get best quality to connect all the bits
together (The DVD does have HD connection capability)

Thanks

Hi,
The S video cable does not pass sound, just pictures. As your DVD player is
connected to your TV with scart (hopefully fully wired and therefore RGB if
you TV scart supports it), you do not need to connect the S Video cable to
your amp. BUT you DO need to connect your DVD player to your amp for
sound - best done with a digital connection - optical or "coaxial" otherwise
you won't get the proper surround effect.

Set you DVD player's digital output to BitStream (not PCM) and set your amp
to "look" at the digital input that you connected your DVD player to. You
should hear lovely surround sound from your DVD player, through the amp.
Make sure your TV volume is set to 0.

If you want the best picture from your DVD player, connect it to the TV with
the digital connection (HDMI, I expect) and get rid of the scart. Only use
the scart for the Sky box.

You can also connect your sky box to the amp either by optical digital cable
if it's a sky + box or by two red and white phono cables. The sound should
be much better than through your TV's speakers.

Hope this helps
