I am trying to connect a Sony HDTV to a older 5.1 Sony receiver. The receiver has has 4 optical in but no component or digital connections. Should I just connect the optical from the cable box, dvd and tv and leave off the video or should I use the composite connections, or buy a new receiver. furtermore, the TV only has one HDMI input which I plan to connect the HD-DVR to. Is it worth it to buy an upscaling dvd player if I also have to buy a HDMI switch? |

It is not worth connecting video via composit so with your current situation you would have to leave off video completely.
If you go the route of a new receiver you may hold off until the prices come down for the units with the HDMI switching capabilities.

Thanks Stof, Is it bad to leave the video off? how will this effect the system? |
