How do you connect Video O/P of Yamaha AV Amplifier to Video input on TV?

Question

Helping a friend with setting up his home cinema system. The Amp is a YAMAHA DSP-AZ1. We have the DVD player connected to the optical input of the Amp, and the sound is coming out though the hi-fi speakers just fine.

However, we cannot get a picture on the TV screen. We have the monitor o/p of the Amp plugged into the co-axial video input on the TV. The on screen display (OSD) of the Amp displays on the TV ok, but no DVD picture.

We've tried all the AV input modes on the TV. Also made sure the OSD was turned off on the DSP-AZ1. Perhaps the fiber optic cable only carries audio???

You need to use the component video inputs from the DVD and Cable box (if they don't have comonent video- the red, green, blue - then use s-video if you can) to the component video inputs on the back of the receiver. The fiber optic cable is for audio only. You will then need a component cable from the receiver video output to the tv component input. The DSP-AZ1 doesn't seem to have any hdmi inputs/outputs. If they're there but I didn't notice them, use them instead of the component video
