that's really strange. have you tried it though just to be sure?

i looked at the manual to your receiver, and although it pictures each HDMI cable plugged in with sound cable with it, it also describes the HDMI cable as sending audio and video.

also, it shows that you hook up only the HDMI cable alone to the TV, for HDMI out. if sounds gets through this way, it's gotta work.

honestly, if it doesn't, i'd return that receiver. it's a pretty glaring feature to be missing. but you should at least be sure.

here's a diagram of my setup:



i haven't verified yet that the wii will work this way (component to hdmi). it should, but i'll find out tonight. i just ran the necessary cables last night.

regardless, i'm very pleased with how many fewer cables i have to run. if anything, what you spend extra on a receiver that supports this, you save on cables. :dunno:
