    Help with receiver set-up

    Thank you. I appreciate the help. Also, would it make sense to buy the component cables for the Wii? I am hesitant, because I guess the receiver is supposed to up-convert the signal anyways. So, would using the component wii connection to the receiver give any extra bonus?
