OT - Connecting HD set-top box & DVD to TV ??

[AntonS]

Has anyone got simple instructions for me mate, before he pulls out what little hair he's got left ???

[Marlin]

Step one - Plug appropriate cords into set top box / DVD

Step two - Plug the other ends of those cords into to the TV

Well, with mine there was a cord (called and AV cord I think) with three plugs on it (red, yellow and white I think) the set top box and TV clearly had plugs with the matching colours... I just hooked them up and I was away.

There will also be a power cord that you will need to plug into the set top box and wall socket

What about DVD?? Does the arial plug into Set-top or TV?

[Marlin]

The arial goes into the set top box...

If the TV has more than one AV input you do it the same way and e.g. the set top box will be AV1 and the DVD player will be AV2...

Depending on the set top box you might be able to run the DVD player through that but I'm not sure...

[AntonS]

I'll pass it on. If he blows up the house we'll put it down to bad luck

What marlin said.

Each of your bits need to be connected to the TV, not to each other - well that's how mine's setup anyway.

HD box cables go into the AV1 sockets of the TV
DVD cables go into the AV2 sockets of the TV

TV aerial goes into your HD box though, not your TV or DVD or whatever else.

etc.

Stuff knows how they work, I got the shits with mine and let the misses work it out. Otherwise the Set top box would have got thrown down the street
