I just got a Sony FX80 HTiB for my Philips 42". It has the HDMI out and I have it to the HDMI in on the TV. I also have a Scientific Atlanta digital cable box/dvr. It has 2 A/V outs and s-cable out. Anyway I have 1 of these outs straight to my TV (using RCA jacks and the S-cable )and the second going to the video in on the Sony reciever. Everything works except getting sound through the speakers while watching TV. Any suggestions??
Tim what you're saying is that you sending video to the reciever. WHY? Send only audio to the reciever from the cable box. Get a HDTV cable box for you 42" inch Philips.
Sorry, The "video in" on the received has the L-R audio and video plugs. It's listed as video 1. I only have the audio from the cable box to it but still nothing. My TV has a "source" button to switch between. Maybe that is where I need to fiqure it out. Any suggestions?? Thanks, Tim
