flummoxed

Hi, I'm Dave from the Sunshine Coast of BC Canada. I'm pretty new at setting up the new electronics. Used to be so easy. X number of wires and X number of slots to put them. It's like you need an engineering degree to successfully put a surround sound system together. I recently purchased a Jamo DMR60 receiver and am trying to get it properly hooked up. I've got the audio part right but cannot find the right configuration to get the video from the DVD player on the DMR60 to my Samsung HDTV. The TV was purchased in 2002. I bought Monster cables at the advice of the sales guy where I bought the Jamo and they are coded red, blue and green. There are two sets of red, blue, green inputs on the back of the TV and I can't get either to work. I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right forum and if not, I apologize. Someone please either give me some advice or direct me to where I am supposed to be.

Thanks!!

Hi Dave and welcome to the Shack!

Yeah... well... this is the introduction forum for sure, so you got part of it right.

I'd say you would want to post your question in the General Discussion forum since it is a general hook up question. Maybe title it "Need help connecting receiver to display". That should get you going.

Hi Dave ..and welcome..

You're not on your own when it comes to understanding all the latest gear..

Hi Dave,.. Welcome. Don't need no engineer,..... all they would do is make it harder than it needs to be.

Thanks Mark,

Sometimes it just seems that way. The manufacturers give the most obscure instructions as to how to get set up. Thanks to input from some good folks on here, I've got it connected and working great.
