    Getting Started/Buil...Best way to set up systemjehill-      Thanks so much for all of your help. I followed your advice and now everything works correctly.  It is too bad that you can't reassign the component video inputs, but I'm glad it works at least.  As far as a third prong on the plug of the STRDA500ES, there is none.  If anyone else has experienced this problem (pixelation only when routing component cables through the receiver and then to TV) please let me know if you found a solution. Thanks again jehill for preventing me from pulling out all of my hair.
    Getting Started/Buil...Best way to set up system jehill-   You are correct in your assumption of how the cables are currently installed, but the optical input for TV/SAT on the receiver is hooked up to the optical output from the cable box, so it's not available for the PS2. Any other suggestions?
    Getting Started/Buil...Best way to set up system jehill-    Yes, the phenomenon that you described is indeed what I had experienced. I switched the cables so that the comp. out from the cable box goes directly into the TV and that eliminated 95% of the pixelation. Now I can't figure out how to hook up the DVD player and the playstation with component cables. I tried connecting the PS2 and DVD comp outs into the comp ins on the receiver and the comp out on the receiver into the last comp in on the TV and hooked up the coaxial out on the DVD to the DVD coaxial in on the receiver and the optical out on the PS2 to the D ..
    Getting Started/Buil...Best way to set up system OK, everything is hooked up now and the sound from this receiver blows away the STRDE825 that it replaced. The TV and receiver each have 2 component video inputs, so I routed the cable box and DVD component outputs to the back of the receiver and the component out on the receiver to one of the component inputs on the TV and hooked the playstation 2 component out to the last available component input on the TV.  The problem is that the video from the cable box is now pixelating obnoxiously. I guess this is due to the signal losing strength during the trip through the receiver and e ..
    Getting Started/Buil...Best way to set up systemjehill-  Thanks for the reply.  I understand that my receiver has the ability to upconvert video(although I really don't understand what that means), so if I connect the video directly to the TV wouldn't I be missing out on that feature? Also, with the DVD player should I connect both the multichannel out and the optical cable to the receiver? Do you know what the control s cable does?  Thanks again.
    Getting Started/Buil...Best way to set up systemI'm hoping someone can give me advice on the best way to set up my home theatre system. Here is what I have: Television...Sony KF60XBR800 Receiver.....Sony STR-DA5000ES DVD...........Sony DVP-NS755V Cable Box...Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD CD.............Sony CDP-CX400 Speakers(a)..JBL ND310II Speakers(b)..Bose acoustimas 5.1 Subwoofer...Pioneer(unsure of model #) Also Playstation 2 which I want to hook up in High Def. Is it better to use component cables or the DVI cable between the TV and cable box?  Should I connect the cable box video output ..
