Thanks for your patience again. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have cable TV and the signal comes from my cable box. So do I need to buy one more cable to connect my cable box to my receiver?
Yes you do!
Please answer my questions.
I'm going to go over the facts of life in AV equipment purchase for the benefit of others reading this thread.
Modern digital equipment is complicated, and all units are different.
The days of plug and play are over.
Download the manual of any equipment you contemplate purchasing and study it carefully.
Only when you are sure it will do what you want, and fully understand all the set up procedures, place your order.
We all have to do this. A few months ago I changed my pre/pro and bought a BD player.
I read all the manuals often enough to really understand the set up. Then at install everything went fast and smooth.
The golden rule is don't purchase an item, if you can't understand the manual, unless you have a dealer to do the set up.
