Help configuring home theater nouns...?

Heres my video connections: Going to my TV via HDMI are HD DVR box and XBOX 360 w/ HD DVD player. Going to my TV via component cables is a wii.

My outdated audio beneficiary has one coaxial, one ir, and one composite input. I enjoy the coaxial input running from the HD DVR. My ipod docking station is connected via composite. I previously had my weak DVD player conencted via ir. Worked perfectly for my requirements.

I am having a problem finding a opening to connect the XBOX so I receive digital surround sound. The XBOX 360 does not hold a digital output audio source (other than HDMI.. correct me if I am wrong). My TV however has an IR digital out. I connected the heir to this expecting to get the XBOX to overhaul through this and got nil. Shouldn't this work? Any suggestions other than upgrading to HDMI slip away through receiver? Not the time of year to be buying myself expensive presents... in actual fact it is that time of year, but have already over done it!


Answers:    By "ir" do you miserable optical? If so the Xbox HDMI cable has an optical/RCA adapter that allows the audio portion of the HDMI signal to be split out and connected to an optical (ir?) port. Similar adapters can be purchased elsewhere but the authentic XBox cable is not unreasonably priced.

But file that most TVs won't directly support surround sound ... you would be better to connect the XBox to the beneficiary not the TV. If necessary you can buy an optical switch to allow more than one device to input to the single input on your heir (See 2nd link for one model) or buy an HDMI switch if you want to be more "adjectives proof" (See 3rd link)
