connecting gemini and dvd genie to Sony TV and Sony receiver

HR 54-700 and a gemini wired

Is this colocated as you don't connect both to the same TV.

I have gemini connected to dvr gemoni to tv or so I think

DTV receivers can't be connected together.  The HR54 is the DVR, the Gemini is a mini client.

I have had it on same TV for awhile but I got a NEW SONY RECEIVER STR 1000 AND BUYING NEW SONY BRAVIA 7 TV HAVE AN OLDER SONY SMART TV 2017

AFAIK DTV has turned off the HR54 audio/video output on collocated units so the easiest way to connect the Sony receiver is using the digital optical audio Toslink from the Gemini to it.       

OK CAN I GET A STEP BY STEP DIRECTION OF HOW THIS ALL SHOULD BE CONNECTED OR IS THERE A BETTER EQUIPMENT OR WAY TO ENJOY DIRECT TV AND MY RECORDED SHOWS.

SHANNON IF I USE THE OPTICAL TO LINK THEN DO I NOT US HMDI CONNECTIONS.

Gemini connected to the TV with an HDMI cable, a digital optic cable you need to buy connects to the Sony receiver.

OK GOT ONE SO ILL DO IT THANKS

Juniper and Shannon02;

Thanks for your help. I got things going after connecting gemini and genie as directed colocated by going then  hooked up ARC from TV to receiver but no sound so then went into settings of both to be sure ARC was activated. This resolved all.

When you get your Sony ES-1000 Connect the HR54 HDMI to ES-1000 (Sat/Cable) input -Then Connect the DVD HDMI to ES-1000- (Bluray/DVD) port Then Connect the Gemini HDMI Cable to the ES-1000 (GAME) port.

Then connect a Hdmi Cable to your NEW SONY TV (HDMI port labeled) ARC--Then Connect that cable to the ES-1000 Montior Input A.
