Yamaha RX-V565 and Wii component cable

I have a Yamaha RX-V565 receiver and I'm trying to hook up a Nintendo Wii. The Wii has a component video cable that's red/green/blue/left/right. The receiver's inputs are red/green/blue/coaxial audio. (The input that's red/green/blue/optical audio has been claimed by the PS2.)

I had an older Yamaha receiver; I don't remember which one, but it came in one of those all-in-one home-theater-in-a-box packages. From what I understand, there was a way for the old receiver to take the audio signal from one input and the video signal from another. I know it's in the manual for that receiver, but not in the one I got with the RX-V565, or the RX-V565 manual available for download at Yamaha's site.

I know this topic has been mentioned in another thread (I'd post the link, but you have to have 5 posts first. Search for "Yamaha RX-V565 Wii" and look for a thread started by Kartoon2005.) Problem is the answer I'm looking for seems like it's on page 2, which I can't get to for no discernible reason. (I click on the link for page 2, and it spits me back on to page 1.) There's some mention of the firmware. I've checked my firmware, and its M:L034 / 368A, and the version available for download on Yamaha's site is version 032.

Can the RX-V565 do what is described? If so, how? Or am I going to have to get a converter that will turn the left/right audio signal into a coaxial signal?

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, I got it. There's an addendum to the manual on Yamaha's site.
