I'm an amp n00b but thanks to the help on here i'm nearly set up. I've just bought a YAMAHA RXV367 receiver Which arrives Thursday. I'm just chasing in cables for it.
I see that there are component ports on the back so should i plug the wii into this? Or should i just go straight from wii to TV? The lead i have is a single cable with 5 fingers on the end. Therefore i have a problem leading the phonos to the amp. Am a bit stuck tbh.
If i plug all 5 into amp, how does the TV get info? Would i need another component cable amp-TV?
If so, i presume the only advantage of going through amp would be sound quality? I only have 2.1 anyway and wouldn't i get speaker sound from the TV-amp separate phono leads?
Also, i hear talk of optical cabling? I Don't want to finish plastering and find i need more cables...... i did this once already Do i need to consider this?
So my current setup =
Bluray to amp (hdmi)
Sky HD to amp (hdmi)
wii to ????? (component)
Amp to TV (hdmi)
Amp to Speakers (speaker cable)
I was also told i needed phono?... red/white cable to go from TV to amp????? Am not sure what this is for? Isn't all audio taken care of through the hdmi/component leads? Was i sold something useless (wouldn't be the 1st time )
Cheers for any help.
