Re: Over my head with A/V set up - Newbie
Volker,
I’ve studied your post, and it looks like you have six components – X-box, WII, a cable box, Xbox 360, a PS2, and Apple TV. Plus the Bose’s DVD player, which makes seven total. The problem is, your TV only has four inputs for video, and your Bose has only three inputs for audio. Not sure what we can do for you here – you simply have more system than your Bose or TV can handle.
About the best I can offer is this: Connect your DVD player and three other most-used components to the TV’s video inputs, and also connect the three most-used to the Bose’s audio inputs. For the others components, you’ll just have to unplug something else from the TV and Bose when you want to use them.
Dan is right – a receiver with enough inputs and connections to accommodate all the components in your system would simplify things immensely. That way you can send all your audio and video connections to the receiver, then a single video feed to the TV. This gets you both audio and video happening with a single button on your remote control (as opposed to having to make separate selections on the TV and receiver). A receiver with inadequate number of inputs and connections, like you have now, is only going to complicate connections and day-to-day operations.
