I don't see Lynxfx around but if anyone can help me out, I would much appreciate it.
Ok so I have the XBOX and I just purchased a 27" Sony Wega and a Sony 5.1 DVD with Surround Sound. Ok so I went out and purchased the HD Adapter for the XBOX, I also purchased an optical cable (pretty expensive stuff might I add).
So I get home today and first of all it took me 3 daamn hours to assemble the Sony tv stand. Anyways, so here I am ready to hook up my system when I realize something. The only cables that I have are the ones for the XBOX. So I hooked up the XBOX to the tv without the optical to the dvd/receiver, WOW the picture was beautiful.
But I mean is that all? the only cable I got with my Sony/DVD receiver is a yellow one. There is nothing else. I guess I have to go purchase more cables right? Well my first question is which cable should I purchase to hook up my DVD/Receiver to my tv, and from what I see on my dvd/receiver there is only a line out for Svideo, and my tv only has 1 input with component cables the other one is for Svideo and just a normal hookup. I guess logically I have to go out and purchase an S Video cable to hook up my dvd/receiver to my tv? Right or Wrong???
Do you guys play your television through its own speakers or do you connect it to the receiver for Dolby surround?
Please help me out as I am eagerly anticipating the moment I could enjoy my new toys.
Thanks to all who reply,
And PEACE OUT
