Hi there. I am a NOVICE at audio/video hook ups. I just moved and am now trying to figure out how to hookup my HDTV, Sony RECEIVER, Sony DVD PLAYER, and DirecTV BOX using my 3 HDMI cables, RCA cables (red, yellow, white cables), and power cords. Help!! Thanks!! :)

----------------

***** Basically, I can get everything to work except I can only get AUDIO with my DVD Player -- I CANNOT get any VIDEO with my DVD Player. THIS IS MY PROBLEM :) *****

Right now, my RECEIVER has the following HDMI ports:

(1) RECEIVER "DVD IN" - Is being used and is going from the RECEIVER to the DVD PLAYER ("HDMI OUT")

(2) RECEIVER "VIDEO 2 / DB IN" - HDMI cable from the TV

(3) RECEIVER "OUT" - not being used

THE current HDMI hookup is:

(A) TV "HDMI IN" port: HDMI cable going from the TV directly to the CABLE BOX [Cable sounds and video are perfect]

(B) TV "HDMI 2" port: HDMI cable going from the TV directly to the RECEIVER

(C) DVD PLAYER "HDMI OUT" port: HDMI cable going from the DVD PLAYER directly to the RECEIVER


HELP!!
