Trouble with home theater setup
Hey all, I thought I'd never see the day when I have to ask how to setup my home theater but with the new teachnologies out there these days...
Anyhoo, I have the following: 4 speakers and a sub Yamaha 5.1 Channel Receiver (RX-V459) Samsung Blu-ray BDP1000 Samsung HDTV I can get the video from the blu-ray to the reciever and then to the TV, but the problem is, there's no sound at all. Here's some of the things I've tried: 1. Using old set of speakers (assumption is that the new ones are defective) 2. Hooked the blu-ray to the tv directly, no sound either (assumption is that the receiver is the problem) 3. Hooked another dvd player to the receiver and then to the tv, no sound either (assumption is that the blu-ray is the problem) 4. Tried various audio settings on both the blu-ray and reciever, no dice Any idea?

I finally figured it out. I'm not sure what it means but the receiver had output setting of 8 ohm while the speaker was designed for 6 ohm. So, I set the receiver to 6 ohm and it fixed the problem. I don't know what that means but I guess I'm getting old.
I am hooking the blu-ray through the component cable, and I'll take up catback's suggestion.

Ok, my tv is HDTV but it doesn't have HDMI port (how odd...) so, I have looked into getting a HDMI->DVI cable and was wondering if it's any better or should I just stick to the good old component cable?
Also, which would be better, digital cable or coaxial cable for sound? Alot of review/opinion are split on that one.

While this is true, some receivers DO NOT process the HDMI audio feed, they simply pass the video on to the display you have to use a seperate (coax/optical) audio to make your audio connections. Quote:
