Hi,
I'm very new and admittedly STUPID with audio/video equipment...I just replaced my 1994 college 13'' Mitsubishi TV with the 34xbr800...WOW! I have searched the FAQ, but my confusion is very very basic. I have the Sony HD200 STB, Oval dish Direct TV, no OTA antenna, and Bose 321 (yea yea sorry this was a wedding gift...probably take it back to CC and get something else). There seem to be several ways to connect all of this to the XBR, and I'm confused as where to begin. The Sony manual doesn't really help. Can the Bose be connected through the STB and how...what is the recommended connection between the STB and the XBR? Do you connect with component cables(or DVI) AND an RF connection...and how does this work...what are the component cables (or DVI) transmitting?
Should I connect the component cables to the 480i, or the 1080? I'm just looking for someone to give me basic setup instructions, and THANKS VERY much! This group is amazing...
