well, I spent a few hours getting some stuff set up today while I wait on my speakers to arrive...
I set up my denon 3808 and ran all of my speaker wire, hooked up bananna plugs, ect.
I did some wire treatment, and about 20 zip ties later they are hidden pretty well.
However, The denon 3808 does not output sound to the monitor over hdmi unless the input is hdmi...
for $1600 MSRP you would think it could do this!
Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to output the sound to my monitor over rca plugs so that I have some sound for my xbox. My 360 hooks up via component cables and I can not figure out how to get the sound to go to my tv! I was able to go into the GUI menu and under hdmi->audio-> select output to monitor, so my hd dvd player and cable have sound... but I can not find the option to output sound to my monitor via rca plugs for my xbox.
Anyway, I am basically killing time now while the firmware updates on my denon.
If it wasn't for the 20 zip ties I would just run my xbox to my tv directly and bypass the receiver until my axioms show up.
If I can't figure it out I will be cutting a lot of zip ties soon!
input appreciated...
