How to Connect a DVR to a Surround Sound TV
- 1). Hook up the red, green and blue (RGB) plugs on one end of the component cable to the video-out jacks on a satellite receiver or cable TV box by matching each plug color to the color stripe on the rim of the jack.
- 2). Insert the RGB plugs on the other end into the video-in jacks on the back of the DVR.
- 3). Connect the two remaining white and red plugs on the component cable from the left and right audio-out jacks on the satellite receiver or cable box to the audio-in jacks on the DVR, matching the colors on the plugs and jacks.
- 4). Hook up the second set of component cables from the DVR's three video- and two audio-out jacks to the AV component inputs on the back of the surround sound TV, matching the RGB video plugs to the jack colors, and the white and red audio plugs to the left and right audio jacks, respectively.
