Blu Ray with non-HDMI receiver
Harman Kardon AVR 335 (no HDMI)
Panasonic 42" Plasma 42PX600U. Has two HDMI Input. (720P, 1080i resolutuion)
Dish Network (forgot the model) receiver (HDMI? I do not know, need to check)
Harman Kardon DVD 31 (no HDMI)
Dish Network component out to Receiver component in.
DVD component out to Receiver component in.
XBOX RCA out to receiver RCA in.
Receiver Component out to TV Component in (for DVD and Dish network).
Receiver RCA out to TV RCA in (for XBOX).
Above is my current Setup. How can I go better than component video?
How can I hook up Blu Ray to get maximum audio/video capability?
Also, when I connect the audio for DVD Player/Dish network (red and white) to receiver, does receiver automatically converts the soudn to 5.1 channel audio output? Is there a better way to transform sound from DVD/Dish network receiver to Receiver?
Any advise will be helpful.
