I can watch cable tv just fine but for some reason the 360 isnt showing picture but I can hear sound. Is the HDMI cable messed up? All the HDMI package says is 1.3 HDMI. Any suggestions?

My 360 was a first gen and it doesn't have an HDMI output. I use component cables to connect to the receiver, then an HDMI cable to go from the receiver to the TV. For some reason the receiver won't communicate through the HDMI to the 360 when coming from component. |

1080P isn't possible from components, by specs/license/etc.

FWIW though, When I play COD4 (which is 1080p capable) on 360 through component the info button on the TV says 1080. When I watch cable TV through component the info button on the TV says 1080i. IMO, the component cables are capable of transmitting 1080p signal. |

Ok I need a receiver - my cheapie Onkyo HT-r340 **** the bed last night. realistically I don't need a switching receiver just something that can drive 5.1 or 7.1 and that has one opitcal and one coaxial digital input (i know, all of them should be able to do this now)
I found this Onkyo TX-SR506 on amazon for $160 ($50 cheaper in silver, which is fine by me) and realistically this is overkill for me http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...cmu_pg__header any thoughts on something from one of the big box stores as I'm all about instant gratification... |

I've got a problem. Moving into a new house, and will be losing my dedicated HT But in the new house I'll be able to build a bigger & better one But that won't be for a few years
Which means I'll have some extra gear until the new HT is completed. I'll take the gear from the dedicated HT and use that in the family room of the new house. Already have gear for a dedicated video game room. Already have gear for the computer room. The problem is what to do with the 4th receiver? Do I hook it up in the bedroom (no good place for a tv there)? Use it in the garage? In the guest bedroom? I like to have these kind of problems |

I know I'm going to regret this question because it's probably really obvious and Im going to feel like a moran. I've got some Logitech z-2300 speakers hooked to the tv(42" flatscreen) So how do you play music from the dvd player without the tv being on?
Dumb question? Or not? |

There are no dumb questions. Only stupid people.
to answer your question, depends how things are set up. But if your running your DVD player into the receiver & the speakers into the receiver... 1. turn on DVD player 2. put in music 3. Press play 4. switch input on receiver to DVD 5. Cry alone in the corner listening to your emo crap |

I ain't got no reciever. The speakers are self-powered. Is there some sort of simple switching gizmo?

OK, so I need some advice.
I currently have a 42" projection TV with a DVI conection, no HDMI. I have a HDMI>DVI connector hooked up to my Xbox 360. I just picked up a PS3 and I need to figure out how to have them both connected, I'm looking to get a switch. I'm looking to pick this one up: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 Anyone have both connected to their outdated TV & surround sound systems? |

BTW, what's the difference in the HDMI cables? Can anyone recommend a specific one on monoprice? I don't need a long cable.
