So I assume you are taking audio directly out of your DVD player?

How are you trying to get audio out of your TV? If it is from a digital source that might be the cause of this problem. Try taking an analog (red/white RCA) out to your receiver.

You will need to get a cable box if your TV does not have audio outputs.

To answer your previous question: If you have a VCR you could run the cable into it, use it's tuner for watching TV and it's audio output to your Receiver for listening to surround.

To answer your latest question: If you want sound out of your VCR to your receiver and TV there are two ways to go. The best way is to get TWO RCA Y splitters:

and run red/white RCA cables to both your VCR and receiver.

The second way is to simply run RF out (coax cable ) out of your VCR to your TV and a red/white RCA cable to your receiver.

Hope this helps
