I've had this baby together with a nice Klipsch Reference series setup (5.1) for 5 years, but until now never had digital audio inputed into it. Put a coaxial line from dvd for the first time last week...........Wow, we all said, now this is what Dolby Digital Surround is supposed to sound (and feel!) like.
Now to connect everything properly..........
I have basic stuff........DVD player with digital audio, and S/Video and Component video outputs. My new HT cable box has digital audio and S/video outputs. My older flatscreen 32" has both component and S video inputs.
I want to run video as well as audio through my Onkyo, but I'm having trouble; here is where I could use a hand.
Since my cable box is only S video outputed, does this mean I should use S video from my receiver to TV? If I use component video from dvd to receiver but use s video from receiver to tv, doesn't that defeat the use of component video between dvd and receiver?
Apparently if I do use componenet video from receiver to tv, the OSD doesn't work; it will only work via S video. Don't know why.
Right now I'm just running component cable between dvd and tv but I hoped to keep things simpler for my family.
Anyone using a cable box and dvd player like I am with this receiver? No sense in reinventing the wheel.
Thanks
