How to get sound out of my home theater receiver when plugged into a dvd/vhs combo

Question

I just bought a home theater receiver and a vhs/dvd player combo. I have everything hooked up. When I put in a dvd it plays on the t.v. and I have sound out coming out of the speakers, but when I play a vhs I don't. The movie plays on the t.v. but I don't have sound coming from the speakers. Can you tell me what I need to do?

Answer 1

Are you using the optical or coax connector for SPDIF digital audio? That will not work for VHS. You'll have to connect to analog outputs.
