Argh!

I thought I was good at this kinda stuff but damn, I guess not. I feel like Im about to have a brain aneurism tryin to figure this out.

Ok here is what I haveL

1. JVC LCD TV
2. Toshiba HD DVD player
3. Onkyo AV Revciever TX SR705
4. Definitive Tech Subwoofer
5. Definitive Tech L and R Shelf Speakers

Ok, so I cannot figure out how the F to put everything together so it all works. And it is driving me nuts.

I got the JVC TV hooked up to the DVD player using the R,G,B cables (dunno what they are called)

The picture works, but thats all that works. The problem is the sound cos I have no clue how to hook up the cables.

I need someone guide me thru this if possible cos I dunno what to do!!!

R,G,B is called Component.

If your tv has an hdmi input then do this: hook up the Toshiba to an input on the Onkyo with an HDMI cable and then use an HDMI cable from the "HDMI Out" on the Onkyo to the tv. HDMI carries both audio and video on your 705. You may have to "assign" the inputs on the Onkyo so it knows where to look for the audio and video signal. See the manual for detailed instructions and come back here if you're still having problems.

If you choose to continue using the Component cables for the video then you need to hook up a digital cable from the Toshiba to the receiver, either Optical (aka toslink) or coaxial, to transfer the audio. Component carries video only.
