I,m totally lost.....how do I connect all this????


I have a toshiba cinema view tv. It has all the audio video
1,2 in out etc. I have a yamaha 5450 AV reciever with s video but no component video. It does have an optical hookup. I have a samsung dvd r120 dvd recorder and finally a comcast cable DVR box. I want to be able to record anything off of my cable signal. Iv'e tried reading all the instructions but I'm still confused. can any one help?
Yes, I realize I am home theatre "challenged"!!

If i couldn't hook it all up,I'd ask a friend who has done his up(invite him over for some BEER to help you out).
or pursuade one of the audio people where you purchased the gear and offer him some cash or.I know I would come over and help but I am in Canada.Usually take ONE CABLE AT A TIME.
say the cd INPUT on receiver,That's where your output from the cdp goes.Where is the sound coming from(source,CDP)source to receiver ect.signal out to signal in.going out of cdp to in on the receiver.

from the cable from the wall to your cable box(input)then the output on(cable box)to input on DVDR and output on DVDR to input on TV.My recorder has to be on channel three to record and same with my TV.The manual might say that in there.It's really from out to in ect.some instructions show three different cables but that's there to show you can use
one of those coax,optical,component,S-VID,composite(That's 5).If dvdr is optical then your TV should be OPtical,If not
S-Video to S-Video ect,Hope that helps
