I am having difficulty in setting up my tv/stereo.If anyone could tell me what plugs into what I'd be very grateful. Here is what I have. This is all older stuff.
Philips TV. one coaxial plug in the back, no stereo outlets. Oldie but I cannot yet afford to upgrade.
Philips DVD player.
Radio Shak RF modulator.
Sony Audio/Video controller (All I use it for now is as a radio. But I assume it can be used to play cable TV and DVD thru the two wall mounted speakers I have.)
Comcast Motorola cable box.
The cable goes into a splitter for the internet also.
Before we got the cable box I was able to at least play DVD thru the wall speakers. Now I'm all confused. Tried a bunch of different confugurations but can't seem to get it right. I'd appreciate any one who can tell me what connects to what and in what order.
