Thanks for everyone's reply. I have a two new question now.

1. I will be hooking up the roof antenna (I know, I know) to the monitor to watch TV. I would like to get the sound through the 5.1 speakers. I assume that I will need to use a cable from the TV to the AV Receiver. If this is true, what kind of cable and what brand of cable do I use?

2. I would like the DVD player to use component video cables to get the best clarify in picture. However, considering that I'm only going to be using an antenna, can the component cables go directly to the TV in lieu of going to the receiver (I'm assuming if it goes into the receiver, the TV will also need a set of component video cables to receiver). Also, if I use component video, what kind of audio cables do I use for the DVD player?

Gosh, I hope this all makes sense...it did in my head.
