Why are you using a RCA converter box?
Is it for TV?

QUESTION: Yes, we have OTA television, no cable.  THanks for the help.

Answer
Hello Sue,
You need to go and get a 3 in 1 switch from radio shack or any electronics store
It will have 3 inputs and 1 output. Once you get this switch you need to connect All outs (Red, white and yellow) from Playstation, Xbox and DVD VCR combo to all three "IN"
The Video out goes to Converter box. The red and white out goes to your Onkyo's Aux "IN". The cable from converter is connected to TV.

It should work.
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
