Guys,

I have a local branded CRT TV, Pioneer HTZ-181DVD home theater system, and Astro decoder.

How do I make use of the LINE feature on my HTS and output sound to my TV & Astro watching? I deeply appreciate your help.

what is LINE feature anyway? if ur receiver has HDMI input use that if not u can use digital output..

I dont really get ur q's, which one u wanna use ur TV speaker or HTS?

your pioneer HT has analog input, so just connect astro red/white audio out to your pioneer audio in, your pioneer will be doing the sound reproduction, tone-down your TV audio volume

for video connection, hookup astro's yellow RCA video out to your TV's yellow video in

neb, I'm almost there. About the video connection, I assume is for the Astro but what about when playing video output through the DVD player?

for your DVD, connect pioneer HT yellow video out to your tv's video in 2

if your tv only has single video in, then manually plug and unplug video cable

next time your upgrade your TV to HDTV, you can then use HDMI for your DVD connection instead, HDMI will produce much nicer output quality to your HDTV

If your TV have the RGB (Red, Green & Blue) input, try using that instead of the yellow (composite) input
It will give u a much better picture
