Hello All,
This is my first post and I need some advice. I have an LG 65" LW6500 on the way and am extremely excited (upgrading from a 50" dlp sammy). I also have an older Onkyo surround sound system that is going to move downstairs with the old tv because it doesn't have any HDMI inputs or outputs and no blu ray 3d player. Since I am in a townhouse and cannot crank the stereo way up I do not need an incredible surround sound system. I am looking at the LG LHB336 system so that I can have all LG products.
Now that I have given you the background to the setup I need some advice on the connections. I have never run only HDMI connections. If I hook my cable box and PS3 into the receiver with HDMI cords and then run one HDMI cord from the receiver to my TV, how will it work? (All HDMI will be 1.4 High Speed w/ Ethernet) Would I be able to get sound through just the TV speakers from the cable box and PS3 if I wanted? If I choose netflix from the TV will the HDMI run the sound back down to the receiver if I wanted it to?
I am basically asking how would you set this up so that you would be able to have sound running through your TV speakers when you want and the best sound possible running through your surround sound with the LHB336 system?
TIA
