When you say I wont get surround sound, do you mean perfect quality surround sound, or just no sound coming through the surround speakers? Because I had it temporarily setup with red and white cables and the xbox came through all speakers. My friends also just have their surround sound hooked...

I feared that would be the answer. It seems the only way I can get an Xbox to work with this setup is to find an older model xbox that uses composite audio and video. Because I dont think they make an HDMI to Composite cable. Well thanks for your help again, if anyone has any other ideas, Im...

Oh cool, Ive never even known they made those types of switches. My only concern though is that my receiver only handles video through. How will the audio work?

Hey again guys, Well I have an update and another predicament. After using the new optical audio cables, the sound worked great and I couldnt be happier. Now I have my DVR, my Blue ray, my receiver, and my tv all working perfectly. Im looking to through another item into the mix. An Xbox...

Oh, I see.. That clears up a lot. I thought when Joe said "pass-through" that maybe it was just a lower quality audio. Im going to buy two of the optical cables now. Should I need more than 2? One to go from DVR to the RCVR, and one from the DVD to the RCVR. Is this correct? Thanks again guys...

I did try running it the way you are saying. I brought an HDMI cable from the DVR to the DTV/CBL spot on the receiver, and then an HDMI from the OUT on the receiver to the TV, it still didnt play sound. I just looked around at the optical audio cables, I found the ones that would fit. Is the...

Just did a little editing on the photo so you guys can see things better...

Frank, I added a new link for the receiver that shows a picture of the back of the receiver. All of the speakers are hooked up to the receiver in the correct location. ie. front left, front right, rear left, etc. I do see a section for Digital Input on the back of the receiver. It has two ports...

Hi guys, thanks for reading in advance. Im stuck. Im a pretty tech savvy person and Ive always been the guy who people go to to hook up their electronics and home theaters. Now, when Im trying to do my own in my new house, Im running into trouble. Heres the equipment; TV - LG 55" LED LCD -...
