Hey everyone, Just wanted to start out by saying "wow" this is an awesome site. Tons of info! Well...I'm new here and I just bought a receiver to take the place of my "home theater in a box" type of set up. Connecting my system has been a nightmare and I even consider myself pretty savy when it comes to electronics....hope you all can help.
Here is the gear i'm running:
46" SONY Bravia LCD FP 1080p
Pioneer receiver model VSX-917V-K **new**
HD Cable box/DVR (through COX Cable)
PlayStation 3
I want to connect my system using all digital wiring; want to get away from analog. My main problem I'm getting is that when i connect all of my components via HDMI (and some optical) wires I don't get any audio unless I run regular (red/white) rca cables to hear audio. Any ideas as to what I can do?
Here is how I have my equipment set up now...
Was I too ambitious in thinking this would work?
Thanks for all your help in advance.

- From my wall the cable goes into my HD Cable Box.
- HD cable box has an HDMI output
- I run the HDMI cable from the cable box to my TV
- 1 optical wire to my receiver
- My PS3 is connected via HDMI to my TV
- Audio wires connected via analog RCA cables from PS3 to my receiver
- DVD Player not connected (that's another issue I'll address later)
- Cable goes into my cable box
- HDMI out from cable box into IN of receiver
- DVD player HDMI out to the IN of my receiver
- HDMI cable from Receiver's OUT HDMI slot to my TV
- My PS3, I envisioned connected via HDMI to my TV
- 1 optical wire on my TV's digital out to the IN of my receiver
