Hi everyone!

First of all, I love.. LOVE my Pioneer 4270, and my Xbox 360. I lurk here and love the site as well!

OK, so on to the problem:

I have the Xbox 360 connected to the back of the TV via component cables. Inputs 2 and 3 are pretty much filled with cables (2 for the Xbox and 3 for regular TV viewing in HD).

I bought a Pioneer HTS-GS1 yesterday (HTIB) for the Xbox 360, and I connected it (pretty easy, took about an hour with wire pulling behind shelving being the hardest part). Unfortunately, I can't get the speakers to work with regular TV channels; they work fine and sound great with the Xbox 360. In the instruction manual it says to connect red/white RCA's to the analog jack in the receiver of the HTS-GS1, and connect the other end to the TV's audio input jack - BUT the inputs for #3 (my TV input) are all taken! There no where to place the RCA's. :( I have other inputs that are open, such as 4, 5 and 6, but if I put the RCA's there I won't have video (as the video RCA's are in input 3).

Any ideas? Do I just need to remove the audio inputs from input #3 and replace them with the audio RCA's that are connected to the receiver?

Thanks!

additional adapters maybe?
regular tv as in Coax coming in to your tv, and you're trying to hook up your tv's audio out to your system's receiver? *shrugs*

All the spaces in both inputs are taken up, so I feel like I have no where to attach the analog red/white audio cable from the receiver.

Does that make better sense?
