Yamaha RX-V6A and component vcr

[breckrider]

My VCR has the rwy compenent cables. I see audio in connections on the back of my receiver but no yellow video in. Do I need the component to HDMI converter or am I just not seeing a yellow jack on my receiver?

The V6a has no analogue video inputs of any description. If wanting to convey analogue video to it then this isn't possible without using some form of intermediate analogue to digital conversion. IN the case of this AV receiver then yes, this would need to be analogue to HDMI in nature.

Other options include connecting the player's analogue video output directly to the display and then using the player's left and right audio connection to the AV receiver.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I can connect it directly to an older tv that I have.
