How do I connect this thing if I can't get a picture, but the sound comes on. I have the regular red, yellow and white A/V cables. But I can only get the sound. I also have Satellite Cable, along with a DVD/VCR connected. I can't get the game system connected directly to the TV, but I can get it on the DVD/VCR, since that's connected to the TV with an R/F piece. The Video Selections are : Video 1, Video 2, and Component ( I tried them all). I know this is confusing, but for anyone who is into telecommunications, could you please help me with this. By the way, I'm trying to connect an XBox 360 and the switch is on "TV". I tried all different types of combinations, but I could only get the sound when I put the AV cables in the correct order in the Audio and Video Out sockets on the VCR. I know that I can get an RF piece for the game system, but I've been doing that with every game system I ever got, and I want to know how to do it with AV cables this time.

I have an HDTV with two HD inputs -- one HDMI and one component. However, I have three HD devices: my cable box, my DVD player/receiver, and my xbox 360. Can I get an A/B switcher or something like that, that I can plug the xbox and the DVD into, and then switch between them? As it is, I have to physically unplug one to plug in the other... kind of a pain! I did a quick internet search, but I get things that are hundreds of dollars. Can't I get something like this for ten bucks at Radio Shack or something?

I am trying to install a Samsung Blu-Ray and a Toshiba HDDVD player into a high end home theater. We are using a McIntosh Controller to switch HDMI inputs going to a 1080p projector. The issue we are having is that the resolution on both the Blu-Ray and HDDVD keeps changing from 1080p to 720p everytime we switch sources on the McIntosh. Does anyone know of an issue with HDMI and Blu-Ray / HDDVD players and being able to maintain the set resolution? If there is a problem, does anyone know of a work around?

I have logitech 5.1 surround sound speakers and a 22 inch HDMI monito. I am going to hook my Xbox 360 into this 22 inch HDMI monitor but dont want to use the two HORRIBLE speakers that are built into the monitor, I want to use my surround sound. Since I am hooking up VIA HDMI doesn't the sound travel via HDMI to the monitor? Or is there a seperate sound channel that needs to be hooked up, in which case I can just plug it into my surround sound speakers. So all in all I am asking if HDMI transfers both sound and video or just video and if it transfers both then can I hook up my surround sound?

I would like to have a speaker system installed throughout the main rooms in my house all connected to one soundsystem.

This would probably be around 5 speakers. Not taking into consideration the cost of speakers/music system roughly how much would it cost to have my house wired up?

also if i had wireless speakers with just power cables how much would it cost to have them mounted and power outlets put into the wall near the ceiling?

I appreciate this is very vague and maybe impossible to figure out but any help is appreciated.

I recently purchased a DVD recorder and I had no trouble at all setting it up to record VHS tapes to DVD-- but I can only record the ones that are not protected. Is there any "secret" way (lol) to burn protected tapes to DVD? I heard a myth that you can cover something up on the tape so it's not protected. Anyone?

I have several AV components (Cable Box, TiVo, XBox 360, AV Receiver, etc) that I am keeping in an enclosed cabinet (glass front). I am worried about it getting too hot in the cabinet, especially for the XBox which is notorious for overheating. I added a small fan near the top of the back of the case, which I think is helping. I have thermometers in the cabinet that do not exceed 95 degrees F, but I'm not sure if that's still too hot. Is there a good rule of thumb for electronics ambient temperature?

I'm trying to hook up my xbox360 and dvd player to my receiver. I have them connected to my hdtv thru hdmi cables. Could I then hook my receiver to the spdif out on the tv, instead of running optical cables from the xbox and dvd to the receiver? Is it the same either way or is there signal loss?

Thanks!
