I have a Panasonic scrt50 (all-in-one) with 1 HDMI hookup and a cable box with 1 HDMI hookup. My Sony 46XBR4 is being delivered tomorrow. How should I hookup to get the benefit of surround sound from both cable box and Panasonic unit?. :confused:

Does the Panasonic have an HDMI input or an HDMI output or both?

Cable box to Panasonic scrt50 with HDMI, then Panasonic scrt50 to Sony 46XBR4 with HDMI. Turn off speakers on Sony 46XBR4. May need to change Audio settings on cable box.

Panasonic has 1 HDMI AV Out

Thats what I was thinking BUT Panasonic has only 1 HDMI...Would a HUB Work?

Panasonic has 1 HDMI AV OutThen you have little choice. Run the HDMI cable from the cable box to the TV. Run coax from the cable box to the Panasonic. Make sure you set the cable box to output the audio via coax and not via HDMI.

So don't plug in the Panasonic HDMI at all?
