I need some help connecting my new AVR 3802 AV amp.
The rest of my set up includes:
Sony KV32FX60U widescreen TV (3 scarts at the rear and S video and phonos at the front of the set)
Sony DVPS536D DVD player (2 scarts, S video, phonos and coaxial and optical digital)
JVC HR7700 video (2 scarts, S video)
Satellite box will follow in about a month
I have connected my TV to the DVD player through a scart to scart lead. I am using the RGB setting as I understand that this gives a better picture quality than S video or phono line level.
In accordance with the manual I have then connected my DVD player to the amp using phono to phono plugs. By this route I am getting sound through the amp. I have a coaxial to coaxial digital lead which I will use to replace the phono's when I have enabled the coaxial setting on the amp, as the manual suggest that it is preset by default for the CD rather than the DVD input.
The problem is that I cannot get the amp's on screen display to work and cannot therefore get into any of the setting menu's.
The manual suggests that a connection for picture needs to be made between the DVD and amp. I have tried both yellow phono to phono and S video to S video leads between the DVD and amp (in addition to the scart to scart between the TV and DVD and phono to phono between DVD and amp) without success.
I have been told that I need a scart to phono lead between TV and amp (in addition to the scart to scart between DVD and TV and phono to phono between DVD and amp). The manual makes no mention of this method. Is this right?
Before I purchase any leads I would be grateful for any advice. I want to achieve the best sound/picture quality available and would prefer to avoid phono connections and use the digital coaxial for sound and RGB/S video for picture if possible.
Thanks
Imran
