Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Found a $0.00 cost solution.
I just noticed my cable box (SA 4240HDC) has RCA audio output jacks. Hook up the cables, turn off the TV speakers, set the receiver input to TV, done. The BluRay box has RCA audio outs as well. Maybe you can do something similar?

HTH.

Cheers,
Scott.
New No cable box
Cable goes right into the TV. When/if I switch to dish or digital cable that might become an option. Still won't help for DVDs or streamed movies from the Wii, so now that I think about it that's not much of a solution in any case.

New Why not?
Agreed, if you don't have a cable box it won't help, but the others should be fine. My Wii, VCR, DVD and BluRay all have RCA audio outs. You should be able to plug them into your receiver, too. What am I missing?

Cheers,
Scott
New Two problems
First, it's an integrated system, not a dedicated receiver, which means there's only one available AUX input.

Second -- and this is admittedly just a convenience thing -- the stereo remote has been lost for a while now. Anything that runs right into it needs it's own remote.

New Ah, Ok.
One can only fit so many round pegs in trapezoidal holes.

Here's a $25 receiver solution. ;-) http://cgi.ebay.com/...sh=item4157037f66

I wouldn't necessarily recommend that though - it's the first thing that popped up on a quick eBay search. ;-) (It's the same model as my receiver and has the same limitations. No mention of the remote that should come with it.)

Oh well. Gotta run.

Cheers,
Scott.
