Answer
Hello Pravin,
S-Video as it says is only a video cable, which will give you a fair to good picture quality, then you need to connect audio and depending on the availability of audio outs and I assume you will have the RCA (red and white) connectors on all your devices. You can connect these to audio "IN" on your TV.
Thanks

Any question regarding Home Theater Systems. What to buy? How to do the hookup and troubleshoot. (Only surround sound hook up) Please note that I am not a technician. I do not do projectors. When sending me questions, please make sure you provide me with as much information on your equipment as possible. I would like to know on each equipment you are connecting, if you have HDMI, Optical and or Digital Coaxial ports and how many. Do not forget to include make and model of your equipment......Thanks
