Q: I just got a Sony STR-DG710 AV Receiver. I also have a plasma TV with a DVI input.

---THE CONFIGURATION---

I have a DVD player and a HD Cable Box.

The DVD player is connected to the receiver with COMPONENT cables and an OPTICAL audio cable.

The HD cable box is connected to the receiver with an HDMI cable.

The receiver is connected to the with a HDMI to DVI-D cable. This cable is connected to the HDMI Out connector on...

A: Unless your AV receiver has internal video DACs, there is no way for analog component video to be output via HDMI (which is a digital interface).

Try this simple connection first
HD Box to TV DVI - via DVI-to-HDMI cable
DVD player to TV - via component cables
digital audio from HD Box to AVR via optical (or coax)
Digital audio from DVD to AVR via optical (or coax)

Your receiver should be able to get dig. audio via HDMI from the HD box,...

TV guy's suggestion is good. You always want to pump the best video signal straight to the TV (usually), and the best audio signal straight to the receiver (AVR).
NEw Home theater receiver will have HDMI throughput, but no conversion.
Your cable box can definitely do it. If your tv has DVI, it almost always has component too.

why my new dish network 722k will not stream hd video to my sony vega via the component connection.?

My dvd player plays fine via component, shouldn't the receiver still stream the video even if the TV isn't HD?


A: Yes, if you set the box to output 480i component.

I want to get the best picture quality from both HD channels and regular channels. As of now, i have it connected through HDMI cable. Do you think connecting it with a Component cable would be better. I know that HDMI would be the best option for HD channels. However, the regular channels aren't that great. Would Component cable be a better solution. Thank you for your help


A: Contrary to popular belief, the type of HD cable used (component, hdmi, etc..) depends on your tv. Most people believe that the hdmi is always best, but this isn't so. Try all different options & see which one looks best to you.
PS...Remember that for each 10" of tv screen, you have to stand back one foot from the screen to get an accurate view. (Ex. If you have a 40" tv, you have to stand back 4 feet or the pic will be inaccurately blurry.)

I have checked the power cable and the outlet and all appear fine. IT will produce no sound from any component it only stays in protector mode. I can not find any reference to this in the manual. Any help is appreciated.


A: This is what I'd do to troubleshoot.

Remove all of the audio/video inputs from the receiver.

Power off the receiver by removing the power cord, wait for 10 minutes.

power on the receiver.. If the protector message comes up then there might be problem with the receiver ...

If receiver powers on then your receiver is good.

Power off and now connect each component one by one. See at what point the...
