I probably connect the sdv296ktu to tv composite and connect either optical digital from the tv to the tx-sr501 and see how that works out. If not the optical digital then may audio line-out instead.
Hello CNET
I need help hooking up my parents home theater...
They have a digital tv tuner, sony bravia tv 48r510c, Onkyo AV Receiver tx-sr501, and a Toshiba Dvd/Vhs combo player sd v296 ktu. Any help is appreciated!
