Rookie here. I am buying an LCD TV, av receiver and bluray player. How many HDMI cables do I need and is that all of the connector cables I will need (other than speaker wires, of course)?

What is the source of your TV signal for regular programs?

Who knows? We don't know what you bought, thus we don't know what they support, thus we don't have any idea what you need.

I have a vehicle I just bought. Can somebody tell me how many tires I need and what size and kind I should get?

You will need 3 HDMI cables. That should be all the cables you need. One from cable box to the Onkyo TX-SR705. One from the DVD player to the Onkyo TX-SR705. One from the Onkyo TX-SR705 to the TV.

Thanks HDMI Guy! One more thing. I don't have a cable "box". It's just a coaxial cable.

If you want surround sound from the cable signal through the Onkyo then you will need an audio cable (optical if the TV has an optical audio output) from the TV to the Onkyo.
