I have a question about my Nintendo Wii?

Question

When I connect the RCA cables to the front of my Yamaha HTR 6030 receiver, I get sound which is what I want it to do have surround sound when playing my Wii but then I don't get any Video at all. I tried video 1,2 and 3 and had no luck. Am I doing something wrong? should I be connecting it to the back? When I connect it on the side of my Sony Bravia hdtv I get video but not the surround sound? How can I get both video and surround sound too.

Answer 1

Wow, thats sounds confusing. I have a wii but not an HDTV. Ill try to help you, but like I said, im not so good with HDTV'S.

Ok, you have a couple options.

1st. Plug the video into the back of the tv, and the audio into your surround sound. Then put the t.v. on input, and power on the wii.

2nd. Plug the wii cables only into the back of the tv.

Answer 2

if you connect the 3 cables from the wii to the receiver you need to connect another cable from the back of the receiver where it said "Monitor output " to the tv, thats means you are doing video switching in the receiver.

meaning you can connect all of your devices to the receiver audio and video and you change the source on the receiver and leave the tv in for example video 1 or 2 depends on where you plug the cable form the receiver.

or split the signal by coonecting the audio cable to the receiver and the video cable to the tv.

note: the htr 6030 don't do video conversion meaning that if you plug a device to the receiver that is composite(yellow) you need to use the yellow monitor out connection, so you will need to use both the component monitor out and composite monitor out.

Answer 3

Your problem is that you need to connect you video cable (yellow one) to your tv and the audio cables (red and white ones) to your receiver.  I would also highly recommend upgrading the RCA cables that come with the Wii  to component cables if you are connecting your Wii to an HD tv. Same thing goes with the component cables, the video cables to the tv the audio cables to the receiver.
