Question regarding cable box, receiver, and tv

I have a Panasonic HDTV with 3 hdmi inputs, a receiver with an hdmi input, and the cable box has one hdmi input. Can someone help me figure out how to configure it so I can have the speakers work through the cable boc and the receiver?

Assuming your receiver can process HDMI audio:

Cable box -- HDMI --> receiver -- HDMI --> TV

In this configuration, your receiver will process the audio from the cable box and send the video to the TV.

Does your HDTV have an optical output? Mine does and I get audio from PC, xbox, dvd player and cable from the optical output from my HDTV.Varese_basic

The receiver only has one hdmi input[QUOTE="l0053"]

My diagram only utilizes 1 HDMI input. The connection from receiver to TV utilizes the HDMI OUTPUT.

I think it would be easier if you listed the exact make and model of your receiver and TV. It would then be a trivial matter for us to recommend the optimal settings.
