Just bought an LG 55LH90 which is the newest LED LCD. I have Timewarner cable & a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. I attempted to connect the DVR & TV with an HDMI cable but I continually received an error that the "content could not be displayed" or something very similar. Station information is displayed in the menu bar but no picture or sound. The LG is supposed to be HDCP compliant. So I am cinfused as to why I can not use an HDMI cable. Component works great. What am I not understanding? I though I somewhat understood issues with HDCP but I must not. Just bought an LG 55LH90 which is the newest LED LCD.

In the instructions, it says that in order to receive regular TV stations in surround sound, I have to run my home theater system through my VCR. Why the hell would they make a sophisticated piece of equipment that has to run through a "dinosaur" VCR in order for it to work. Would be great if my VCR had a digital tuner in it, but unfortunately it does not. Any idea how to hook it up without the VCR and be able to get Monday Night Football in surround sound.

It has component input only. It has DVD inputs for fl, fr, c, sl, sr all labelled as DVD input. It has CD input with two component cable input and Aux input with two component cable input. The system sounds great. However, I have purchased a new Panasonic HDTV with 2 component cable output to home theatre. This will connect to the AUX input for the home theatre. However, will it provide the surround sound I am looking for? The TV has HDMI input and output. My HD DVD is HDMI connected input to the TV but does not have 6 component output to the Home theatre. Is there a HDMI to 6 component cable that I can use from the HD TV to the input in the Home Theatre (or another solution)? I have a Genesis Media Labs Model G-610 Powered Home Theater.

Since the installation I am unable to get TV sound through my home theatre system, i can only get sound direct from my TV.

I have a new Sony 1080p LCD TV, HK AVR347 receiver, and a DVR Cable box. I'll be using a DVD player with both component and composite outputs, and a VCR with composite ins/outs. The TV has 3 HDMI inputs along with both component and composite. The receiver has 1 HDMI output and 2 HDMI inputs with A/V processing. The DVR cable box has an HDMI output. I was told that I would be able to run only 1 HDMI cable from my reciever's output to my TV, and input my cable, DVD and VCR into the reciever. Does this sound correct?

The HD inputs on the back are VGA ( like a computer monitor connection) or RGBHV ( 5 wire) connection. I have just had the directv HD DVR installed in my house. How do get an HD signal with these connection options. There are only HDMI and componant out of the box. The regular componant input will not receive HD either. Can I go HDMI to VGA, via an HDMI to DVI cable and then a DVI to VGA adapter? Please Help. Thanks I have an older model HDTV Phillips TV.

I also have an XBox 360 that also requires HD hook-up. I wanted to know if there is a way that I can get a component that will allow me to receive the high definition capability with both the XBox 360 and Cable TV. Currently, only one can be hooked up to the TV at the time. I have a LCD Flatscreen TV with High Definition Cable TV. I also have an XBox 360 that also requires HD hook-up.
