    OK, so I have my blu-ray player, cable box, and xbox all hooked up to my tv via hdmi. Is there a way to hear sound for all of these through my receiver (surround sound) without hooking them all directly into the receiver? Maybe with just one cable from the tv to receiver?

    I ask mainly because my receiver doesn't have hdmi inputs, and I want to see if there is a way to just use one cable to connect the sound from my tv to my receiver. The receiver is a Yamaha HTR-5860.

    does your TV have digital out? Coaxial Digital or Optical Digital also called S/PDIF, what does your receiver support?

    I just hooked in a cable digital optical out from the tv to the digital optical in on the receiver. I switched the input on the receiver to where i plugged it in, but still no luck.

    You are sure it is an output on your TV and not input right?

    If it is an output you might have to change a setting to turn the output on/turn internal speakers off. If this is the case it should be under Audio or something on the TV's menu.
