Advice with my new setup

Hi

I've just purchased some new stuff and want to know the best way to set it all up and get the best out of it at the moment.

The equipment

TV - Sony Bravia KDL40X2000u
HomeCinema - Sony HTSF1100
Sat - Sky+
Blu Ray+Games - PS3
Games - Wii

At the moment I’ve only connected sky+ to the TV will a RGB and TV aerial. What should my connections be and any advice on what will be best purchases.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Advice with my new setup

I would connect optical lead from sky+ to opt in sat(remember to select digital sound in sky setup), Hdmi lead from Hdmi out to TV, Hdmi lead from PS3 to tv and optical lead from PS3 to opt video2, Wii component lead to tv and audio L/R to audio in video1. TV audio out L/R to audio in tv. I think this is right! (looking at manuals)
So you need 2x hdmi leads 2x optical leads 1x Wii component lead and 1x rca audio lead. Then you will have spagetti junction behind your tv as I do!
Best purchases are what you can afford! Not uber cheap not uber expensive!
