component, s-video and composite newbie


Finaaly broke down and got a Pioneer DV 656A and a Pioneer elite vsx-41 receiver. My tTV is an old tosiba which take only the composite video input.

1. Should I hook my DVD to my receiver to each other with the Component or the s-cable? Will this have any effect, or setup problem for the TV which is composite only?
2. Do I need to hook up all the 5.1 RCA audio cables between the DVD and the receiver, or is this taken care of by the video cable?
3. How do I hook up the TV so I can get signals into the surround sound system and out of the receiver?

Thanks in advance the manual suck...

theres no need to run the video on the dvd to the reciever if you only have one source, just plug that straight into the tv, then you need to get a coaxial digital cable to hook up between the dvd and reciever, this will cary the movie soundtracks to the reciever so they can be decoded as surrond sound, and let you listen to cds
