Hi there, I got a reciever a while ago with my old TV. I had a PS3 and a Wii and had them both hooked up to it and to my TV. I have some Sony floor standing speakers hooked up to the reciever as well and there was no problem with it, the sound would go through the speakers - not the TV.

Yesterday I bought a 42" HDTV and a XBox 360, and am having trouble setting everything up.

I have an HDMI cable running from the TV to the reciever and another form the PS3 to the reciever. I have standard cables (red, white, yellow) for the Wii and Component for the XBox 360. If I plug all three systems into the reciever and then the reciever into the TV, I get video for the PS3 but only audio for the other 2.

I assumed this was because I only had HDMI going form the TV to the reciever, so I'll get another HDMI for the XBox 360 and I have no idea what to do about the Wii.

But the big problem is I can't get the audio to route to the floor standing speakers. All the audio goes through the TV speakers, even if I go into the settings and select External as the audio output.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What receiver do you have?

If you run the Wii via composite cables and the 360 via component (directly to the reciever), you must run the same cables from the receiver to the TV (as HDMI will only route HDMI audio and HDMI video ONLY). In other works, you will need to run a composite video cable (yellow) from the receiver to the TV. For component, you must run the component cables from the receiver to the TV as well. Audio will be handled by the receiver.
