I am trying to set up a home audio system. My TV only has one component cable input and I need two (Wii and cable TV).

I have looked for some receivers on GMarket and Auction but they are almost twice as expensive as sites from the U.S. (I know I am not in the U.S. but I will be next month). Is there a site that I do not know about that would sell them cheaper? Would it be best to wait and buy one while I am home? I don't really want to lug a huge box back though. Would Yongsan be cheaper and they have a good selection?

4 HDMI inputs but neither the Wii or my cable box has that option.

Www.enuri.com

Search on Onkyo. Models with 5.1 surround start at 380,000. That is plenty here.

Swampfox,

Thank you for the link! I found one that seems perfect, but I have one question. I don't know much about audio equipment. I think this one will do me fine: http://www.enuri.com/view/include/BigImageOnlyPopup.jsp?modelno=1341372&intGetModelNo=0&szModelNm=HT-SR600&CateName=%B4%DC%C0%CF%C7%FC%20%3C%20%C8%A8%BD%C3%BE%EE%C5%CD&szFactory=%BF%C2%C4%EC&szCategory=02081007&strRsiflag=&intRsiModelNo=0&strImageChk=1&nMallCnt=3&goodsBbsOpenType=1&sopnShowFlag=false&tailflag=

How do you hook up the component cables though? With the Wii and Cable box, they come with the Green/Blue/Red cables but also the red and white audio cables. In this picture, where would I connect the audio cables for both the Wii and Cable box?

Would I just have to split the cables a bit and stretch them to the Video 1 in?

Does your Wii or cable box have HDMI connections?

Wow I feel like an idiot. The cable box had an HDMI connection after all. I plugged in a spare HD cable I had and it worked perfectly. Thanks for saving me a few hundred thousand. My wife will be very happy too.
