so I'm a complete newb to this stuff....anyway here's the spec and questions:
HDTV, TW Digital Cable Box/DVR, Basic Onkyo HTIB, Basic Progressive Scan Sony DVD player.
Questions:
A. Do I get surround sound only when I watch a dvd or do I get it also when I watch just a regular ol broadcast tv.
B. The Dvd player cable that came in the box is composite. Do I need digital audio cables hooked up to my HTIB receiver to get surround?
I know avforum.com exists...but hf has never failed me before.
