I have the Nintendo component cables and right now the left right audio is going into the Samsung LN-S4695D LCD screen. Is anyone using a surround receiver and if so how did you connect the Wii to it? I assume you only have 2 choices, go to the TV input or to your Receiver input.

Unless I'm missing something there is no secondary audio out on the Wii?

Hi my wii is connected via component to my plasma and also on the component lead their is audio out leads which you can plug into your reciever for surround sound which i do.

Hi,

I have the component cables coming out of the Wii, into my receiver, and then component out of my receiver, to component in of my samsung ln4695

I have the Samsung LN-S4695 as well and a Denon 7:1 receiver. I can do the same but does your receiver have to be on to pass through to the TV? Thanks.

Hi yes your reciever has to be on to output sound to your surround speakers.The tv should be muted.If your component cable has audio leads attached then it has to be plugged into your reciever otherwise you won't get no sound.Well does with mine anyway.

I use the Onkyo HTS 894 for my audio. I just have the red/white audio cables going to the input on the receiver and I set the receiver's video source that I will be playing the Wii on, to get the audio from the red/white cables.

And yes, the TV has internal mute on as well.

Hope that helps some.

Yes, the comments here are what I expected. I know how to connect it but I was hoping there was a way to get both TV and Receiver input going. Too bad they didn't add a digital or second analog output on the back of the Wii. They could have done it on the component cable as well. I would throw in an extra $20 for that. I guess I'll just leave it on the TV to keep things simple for my wife and daughter.

I love the Wii but my PS3 has spoiled me.

I guess..... you can use a couple of Y splitters from the audio cables on the component set. to go to TV and receiver.
If you have a surround setup, then I don't know why you'd want the TV speakers on though.

Oh, my apologies, I guess I misunderstood what you were asking. As far as I know, the best way to get audio to both would probably be what Dallow suggested, use a Y splitter.

im using the sony mhc-gx470 mini hifi stereo bookshelf system

i also have my creative zen vision;m and also my dvd player hooked up with my wii to a switch box and when the night is calling for gaming i use a pair of sony mdr-v700 headphones

my tv has a digital audio output which I have connected to my receiver. i have component cables from the wii to a manual switchbox to the tv. it has no problems passing PLII from the wii.

Or send the receiver's tape out to the TV's input, or send the TV's audio out to the receiver...

I have a Samsung SP-R4212 42" Plasma EDTV connected to a NAD T743 receiver.
Connected to the TV is my wii (via component + L/R Audio Analog), Motorola HD STB (via component + L/R Analog audio) and an xbox 360 (VGA + L/R Audio Analog + optical toslink audio). The TV sends the audio to the NAD via digital coax (it appears that 5.1 surround is lost when using L/R analog out cables from the TV, thus the digital coax from the TV to the NAD). This eliminated any source switching headaches (I just switch the source on the TV, and the NAD source never needs to change - xept when playing mp3's or the radio). Very girlfriend friendly.

The 360's toslink optical audio alternately plugs directly into one of the NAD's toslink inputs. This allows me to play mp3s from the 360 while having the TV off (preventing burn-in damage since the 360 lacks a decent screensaver).

As for speakers, I'm rigged up with a polk audio surround bar in the front, a 50w polk sub, and a couple no-name rears.... sounds great ;-)

I have video and audio running to my tv, and then I have an 1/8" audio output from my tv to my Surround Sound receiver. Alternatively if your tv does not have an audio output you can buy RCA cables that go female to male to extend the Wii's audio to reach your receiver.

I have component video into my x2vga component -> vga transcoder then off to my LCD projector. I have audio from my component cable going to my onkyo 7.1 receiver then off to the surround speakers. If my projector had component in, I would use the component video pass through in my receiver.
