Guys,
I'm trying to hook up an HDTV ( Vizio VP422 ), Blu-ray player ( Samsung BD-P1500 ), and XBOX 360 to the Yamaha YHT-590 home theater system. All three of them support Optical Digital Cables but the HTIB only has two slots. Therefore, I need to figure out a different way to connect one of the devices to the Yamaha system without losing much quality.
According to the Blu-ray manual, it says that you can connect it to the TV and HTIB via HDMI (I've attached a screen shot of the page in the manual). I've tried this exact setup but can only get video and no sound. Am I missing something? Does it still require a digital audio cable? Could it just be a software setting issue within the HTIB or the Blu-ray player? I've tried changing all the settings within the Blu-ray player, HTIB, and TV without any luck.
I feel like I'm really close. If I can figure this out I can use the two available optical digital outputs for the TV and XBOX 360.
Thanks for your help.
(I searched the forum and the only YHT-590 threads were just comparing it to other systems. None of them were about setup)
