What are the best AV cables for an Xbox 360 to a HDTV?

Can I set up my xbox 360 and hd cable to my hdtv using 2 hdmi cables and an optical out to a reciever?

  • I want to set up my new hdtv to my Xbox 360 and a hd cable box. Can I connect my xbox to the tv using hdmi and do the cable box the same way and then run an optical cable from the optical out port of my tv to my surround sound receiver and get 5.1 surround sound on all? Or is there a better way. Currently I have an older model receiver that only has one optical port and a few analog ports!

  • Answer:

    Most TVs will not switch for DD audio. You will need to include a digital audio cable for each source directly to the receiver. I doubt it but include a model number to be sure.

aha yes you can

yes but one problem. You wont get Dolby Digital. HDMI cables will carry HD video and sound but the sound will not be digital. you will have to pick which one of your devices uses the optical cable for DD sound. I wish HDMI carried Dolby Digital sound it would make my life easier. Hope this was helpfull.
