VCR1 will work, so will Phono, CD. You will just need to select whatever you used as your source on your receiver.

If so, you arent going to get real surround sound. A surround connection using RCA has up to 6 plugs (front left & right, rear left & right, Front centre and subwoofer).
This and this may explain things further.

Phono will not work. Any other will. You run a pair of cables from the TV (red/white) to one of the inputs on the amp (R/W) and you'll have stereo. As stressfree says, for surround you'll need a different receiver and a digital source (dvd, cable, sat, blu-ray).

Oh yeah, welcome to TSF.
