Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater What cables to get*different type of thread

Ok, Now that we know your complete system, here's the complete summary to answer all your questions. This is what I would do. I'll break it down by component.

TV

• Connect a composite video cable bwtween the yellow Video In on your TV and the Monitor Out jack (top right on the back) on your receiver.
• Connect a stero pair of RCA cables between the Audio In on your TV and the Vid 1 Out jacks (near the top left) of your receiver.
• Connect another stero pair of RCA cables between the Audio Out jacks on your TV to the Vid 1 In jacks (near the top left) of your receiver.
  

X-Box DVD
If you have the s-video/digital audio kit for the X-box (which you should have for watching DVDs in Dolby Digital), do this:

• Connect an S-video cable between the S-Video Out on the Xbox dongle and the Vid 2 In on your receiver (top right).
• Connect a digital optical cable between the Digital Audio Out jack on the Xbox dongle and the Digital In Optical 1 port (near top left) on the receiver. You'll need to later assign this jack to the Video 2 mode.

If you don't have the S-Video/Digital Audio kit, do this:

• Connect a composite video cable between the Xbox and the Vid 2 In jack (top right) on your receiver.
• Connect a stereo pair of RCA cables between the Xbox Audio Out and the Vid 2 In jack (top left) on your receiver.
  

Computer

• If your sound card has a digital or coaxial output on it, buy the appropriate cable and do the following: Connect the digital cable (coax or Toslink optical) between the soundcard and the appropriate jack on the receiver (either Digital In Coax 1 or Optical 2). Assign that jack to Video 3.
• If you don't have a soundcard with digital out, do this: Connect a mini-stereo-to-RCA cable between your soundcard and the Vid 3 In jack (top left) or your receiver.
  

M22tis

• Connect your 4 M22s to the FR,FL,SR,SL jacks (bottom just left of fan) on your receiver using good quality but cheap speaker wire.
  

Subwoofer

• Connect a good coaxial subwoofer cable between either of the L/R Audio inputs on your sub and the Subwoofer Pre-Out jack (bottom left) on your receiver.

Did I catch everything guys?

thanks a lot:)
just bought 4 FMBS, 4 m22tis, 1 SVS 25-31pci, and all the video cables and audio cables i think i will ever need in about 2 hours!!
now i have to wait on my HK 525 on ebay i'll have bought everything i need:)

thanks for all the help, and for answering all of my stupid questions here and there. thanks guys and girls

Nope. You've got no way of getting the S-vid from the Xbox to the TV. Neener neener. The 525 doesn't upconvert composite to S-video. So there.

Anyway, what you should do is replace his composite video cable under TV with an S-video cable, assuming your TV has S-video in. If not, follow the video portion of his instructions of the non-DVD Xbox.
