All in one system connection advice!

Thanks to these forums, I have now bought the following items...

Panasonic TH42PX60
Oppo 981
Denon DHT1356XP

I need to connect all these together alng with a Wii and Sky+.

Would are the best ways to connect them? What additional cables would I require.

I would like the Wii and Sky+ to also have 5.1 sound!

Also, which stands are the best for these speakers?

Thankyou in advance

G

For SKY+ you need a fibre link like this http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/TS001.html
Make sure in the SKY box settings you have done the following
For video ouput select RGB not PAL and 16:9 not 4:3
For sound via Fibre set to digital output.

I am currently connecting the Wii to my tv using component....do I just strip the audio leads from this and connect them to the amp?

Yes you will get 5.1 from Sky Movie channels or Stereo from all overs, but you can tell your AV amp to switch to Dolby Pro-logic II to get all speakers going. If the WII only has two phono plugs then use a stereo input on the AV amp and again switch to Dolby Pro-logic II to get all speakers going.
