Since you are inputting the DVD/VCR with Component to the AVR, I believe you need to connect the component monitor out on the AVR to a component input on your TV. I don't believe your AVR will take a component input and output it via the HDMI.

Or just bypass the AVR and connect component from the DVD/VCR right to the TV, for the video. Then make an audio connection from the DVD/VCR to the AVR for the audio.
