I have a sharp hd monitor as my tv. I would like to hook up my wii to the monitor but I am not sure about using a hdmi. Would you know what I need?

You can always get a switcher and select what device goes to the tv without ever changing any cables again.

I dont know about your particular hd hookup , but I take the hdmi cable out of my dish reciever/dvr [digital video recorder] and run it straight to the hdmi input #2 in the back of my apex 40 in lcd-hd-tv

I think take the hdmi output from the at&t u-verse cable box and plug it into the hdmi input of your 70 in sharp smart tv

that will get the input signal from your cable box ,both video & audio, into your tv set.
on the back of your tv set
there should be audio outputs for home theater audio systems that would plug into the audio inputs of the home theater system.

prehaps i am wrong because you say that your yamaha is a home theater* reciever.* is the yahama more than a home theater audio system? What does it recieve?

Idea-- the salesman that you bought it from should be willing to help tell you how to hook it up.

also consider that there are many different ways to hook up vcr's and then dv recorders and dvd recorders and external 2 tera bite hard drives into my tv & dvr . I got that all hooked in & a rats nest of wires. so i can record in hd or sd,on vhs or dvd or dvr
point is that you cant hurt anything by plugging the wrong plug into the wrong jack, as long as the same type of plug goes into the same type of jack.
If its right,it works, if its wrong, it wont work until you plug it into the proper jack.

im sorry ,im 65 am not into knowing all the latest and greatest cutting edge tech ,but i am begining to catch up on my hobby, movie recording tech.

Okay please just give me some more info so I can help. I assume that the TV sound works okay when watching normal TV, right? That would mean that no matter what game, anything coming from the Wii is completely silent, right?

How is the Wii set up on the TV? Do you know if it is an HDTV or just regular TV? Do you know if it hooks up with composite cables or with an HDMI cable?

Here is a link:

The HDMI cable is the black one and the other colored 3 are composite,.

You can choose either way they are both good enough for HD on your Wii.

Try to disconnect all the connection cables and reconnect again. If still don't receive any sound, your HDMI cable is faulty.

In the receiver's main menu or setup on the remote you will find "input/output assign", make sure the "HDMI Monitor" is set to "yes".
This will make sure whatever video source is connected will be upconverted and outputted to the HDMI going to your TV. If it is set to "no" it will not show your Wii.

Very easy to hook up.It just two USB hubs hook up with a wire basicly.Use 3 HDMI cables for one each device.

I found a better way and it works fine. I have a new 32 inch Emerson, with only one composit hood up ( which won't work with the wii) 2 HDMI's ( again does not hook up to the wii, the monitor hook up for PC, red and white ( yellow plus is not there it's for a stereo they told me), and the usb hook up ( which is more for pictures I was told by the company).The answer was to hook my RCA plus to the red and white under the composite, then hook the yellow into the green plug of the composite, and behold- my will now works fine.

Just a thought, but, how do you have your TV/Monitor hooked up to the Yamaha unit? If your only connection between the receiver the and the TV/Monitor is an HDMI cable, and you are plugging your WII into the front v-aux jack using composite video, the receiver will have no way to send the video signal to the TV/Monitor. The receiver upconverts all composite video and S-video signals to component video signals. This means that if you only have an HDMI connection between the receiver and the TV/Monitor, you will also need to establish a second, component video connection between the receiver and TV/Monitor to handle the upconverted WII video signal. You will probably also need to switch your TV/Monitor to use that input when you are using the WII.

Of course, if you already knew this and have it set up that way, this answer won't help you at all!

you will have to get the HD Component AV Cable. the HD output is only 480p and the standard tv signal is 480i.It not a big jump in graphics.

I have this hookup and it's working almost perfectly:

Wii --component--> Avr-887 --HDMI--> Sharp LCD TV

Sometimes the pictures don't show up during start up, but I figured it was (probably) due to Sharp's HDMI handshake issue, so I turned the TV off and then on, everything works.
