Help with best configaration please.

[MRAlan]

Hi.

I am in a delemma, Can anyone help me with the best configaration for my home theater.

What I have is..

Onkyo Reciever TX sr607 (1 HDMI in and 5 HDMI out. Coaxil, and optical)

Samsung V+HD (scart out, HDMI out, optical out)

TV- LG 42 SL90 (2 scart 3 HDMI 1 optical)

DVD - LG DVX 582H (1 HDMI out, 1 optical, 1 scart)

The configaration I have so far is ..

From TV - optical to amp into the game 1 input. Scart to DVD. Scart to V+ box. HDMI to Amp OUT. HDMI 2 to Amp IN. HDMI 3 to V+ box .

I have the optical lead from the V+ box going to Optical (cd2) on Amp..

Now obvously when playing a DVD, the video signal comes from the DVD via the scart which is not as good as the HDMI lead.

I usually only put the amp on when I am watching a film or Documentry, otherwise I just play the sound through the TV.

So what I want to be able to acheive is......what ever I am watching, I want the very best qaulity I can acheive, WITHOUT having the amp on. And obviously when I do switch the amp on....I want the best of picture and sound quality

I hope this make sense, and apologies for it being a little long winded!

I have put a link also to the Onkyo amps manual and the TV manual so you can see what inputs/outputs I have to mess around with.

Thanks in Advance

Alan

hdmi from dvd to amp if available for pic and sound

hdmi from v+ box to t.v and optical from v+ to t.v. (hdmi for picture quality)

that way for t.v the amp can stay off and pic and sound will be sent through t.v

hope this helps

Thanks Perry Dave, but what i cant understand...if the tv amp is switched off, how would I get video and audio from the DVD to the TV?

Also the connection you reccomend from the V+ box...how would I get sound coming through amp speakers from it?

HDMI from v+ into amp will give sohnd and picture then from monitor out on amp to tv. DVD I wojld use component over scart or HDMI if it has it.either optical or coax from DVD for sohnd into amp.
