Home audio & video forum: Help setting up TV/Home theater system

Sorry, but something about the way you've constructed your post is excruciatingly difficult to read. I'll try the best I can interpreting from what I see above .

Try the following 'recipe', and let me know if I missed any of your components from the 'soup' you've provided (which model radio dock???? what kind of plug does it have??) 8-)

Unfortunately, I don't see any way to have everything run through the HT since it doesn't have enough inputs. Either the Roku or the Wii is connected to the HT component. For $100+ more you could have picked up an Onkyo HTIB which would have solved this issue.

Which of the Roku boxes do you have, btw?? I'd guessing perhaps it's the HD model since you mention both HDMI & S-video ouput.

HD DVR (HDMI out) -> (HDMI in) LED HDTV
" " (digital optical out) -> (digital optical in) Samsung HT

Wii (composite video out) -> (composite video in) LED HDTV
" " (composite audio out) -> (composite audio in) LED HDTV
*doesn't output surround sound, so I opted to connect directly to your HDTV

Roku (Component video out) -> (Component video in) LED HDTV
"" "" (composite audio out) -> (composite audio in <via aux in>) Samsung HT

I'm sorry I worded it so horribly. I know I probably made a mistake with this HTIB - I wanted the same brand for ease of use between the TV and HTIB and money was a big concern.

I understand that the Wii does not have surround sound but I still don't want to use the TV speakers. Previously my configuration worked with another HTIB.

This TV only has one component input - no composite.

I switched things around and here's my current configuration -

DVR (component out) - > HTIB (component in)
HTIB (HDMI out) - > LED TV (HDMI in)
HTIB (optical audio out) - > LED TV (optical audio in)
Roku (HDMI out) - > LED TV (HDMI in)
XM Radio (analog audio out) - > HTIB (analog audio in)

so far, so good. The Wii is the only thing not hooked up yet - I have a component cable on order and I am hoping that going Wii (component out) - > LED TV (component in) will give me the audio through the HTIB since the Roku is working that way. Ya think?

Now my biggest problem is that the TV is not getting HD. But, it didn't when the TV was directly connected to HD DVR. So I'm think the DVR went bad somehow when I switched TVs. Cable guy is coming on Wed.

I think I finally figured it all out. Now I just have to get the Wii component cable to make sure it's all good.

Whew!
