Bear with me, somewhat of an overwhelmed newbie with all this. Here's what I have:
LG Plasma, wall mounted, 2 HDMI in (along with component, S, etc)
Time Warner-Motorola HD/DVR 3416
Toshiba DVD/R
Xbox 360
Pioneer Receiver (no HDMI...bummer)
BR Player to come in near future
As the TV is wall mounted I want to minimize the cabling that I have to run (in wall) up there. I'm a bit confused on the best way to configure the cabling to do this. I'm figuring a new receiver is needed, I'm seeing some in the $500 price range with 3 HDMI in, 1 Out with upconversion. That being said, do i run the DVR, DVD/R and future BR via HDMI into the receiver? The Xbox via component to the receiver and the upconversion will send it via HDMI to the TV?
What about all the audio, I'm assuming the HDMI connections will deal with that right?
The last question (I think) is a connection between the DVR and the DVD/R so I can record a feed onto a DVD...and I have 2 feeds coming out of the DVR, one to the receiver, the other to DVD/R?
Thanks for the help!
