Im little confused.(newbie to this stuff) I have just got XBOX 360 which comes with a Component HD AV Cable + has a HDMI connector . I want to be able to have 5.1 sounds from my Onkyo TX-SR605 . They all sit in my TV Cabinet less than 2m between every thing.The TV is old 29" CRT at moment. questions . 1) Is buying digital cable or HDMI cable the best way to get Dolby 5.1 sounds ?? 2) Digital cable , can i use optical (toslink) or coaxial audio , any differences between them ???? hope this makes sense thank you for any help Billy links : my xbox http://www.xbox.com/en-NZ/hardware/x/xbox360prosystem/ Onyko 605http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?class=Receiver&m=TX-SR605

You may need to activate the digital out put on the XBOX and assign the optical in on the Onkyo. If you had a TV with HDMI in then you would use the HDMI on the Onkyo.
