QUESTION: TV has HDMI with DVI connect to cable box. HDMI from VCR/DVD to Amp input 2. Video Red/White/Yellow out to Amp in. HDMI from Amp to TV into 2 inputs 2 and 3. CD changer optic 1 on Amp and DVD/VCR to optic 2 on Amp.. I also have Wii hooked into amp Game/Tv input Blu-Ray HDMI to Amp Input 1.
Answer You should only need a single connection from the amp to the TV, HDMI output. The cable box should be connected to the receiver via HDMI, the same for the VCR/DVD and Blu-ray player, the CD changer via optical (as you have it), and the Wii either via YPbPr or Composite video (just depends on what cables you have for the Wii currently, go with whatever you have). Try these connections, and let me know how it works out.
