I must be so lame but all I want to do is connect my analog direct view to my digital cable box to my new Onkyo HT-S650 THIB! That's it, but I'm not getting any sound out of this thing. Can I just watch TV through this thing? Please before I kill! Should I just call Onkyo for help? Please list the basic cables I need because I know I must be missing something.

Assuming you have the video working, the basic connections you should have are:


Cable box audio out ==> Patch cable with RCA connectors ==> TV audio input of the Onkyo receiver


This is assuming you don't have a digital output on your digital cable box.


Make sure you have the correct input set for the source you have the audio connected to. By this I mean on most receivers you can "assign" the digital inputs to different sources. If you have the audio hooked up as outlined above and have a digital input assigned to that source, some receivers will ignore the analog connection. Consult the receiver manual for how to do this.

Thanks Chris, finally set it up for basic watching, now I need to contend with adding my dvd player.
