HOW DO I CONNECT MY YAMAHA RX-797 TO MY PC-LAPTOP

You use audio cables or fiber optic cables if the receiver has the necessary connections. HDMI is not used for cd to receiver.

Try a new HDMI cable.

you can connect Yamaha YST SW800 at the back of your receiver

( label =subwoofer )

OK. Both are attached via analog cables to different inputs so what you're hearing is NOT actually audio program-related but more likely some kind of grounding or shielding issue.

Lower the volume then see what happens if you...

...float the laptop so it's running on its battery?

...reattach the laptop power but rotate the AC power plug 180 degrees?

...rotate the CD power connector?

...disconnect only the laptop audio?

...disconnect only the CD audio?

Something should change the symptom.

If you are gonna connect the x-box to the yamaha directly you would have to connect the red and white cables to one of the inputs on the reciever and the yellow to the video on your tv.

You can connect PS3 video via HDMI to receiver and from receiver via HDMI to TV. But RX-V365 doesn't support HDMI audio, so you have to connect audio separately via SPDIF digital cable. I think PS3 uses optical SPDIF, so you will need optical cable. If you can't find cheaps optical cables in your shop, you can try byuing from ebay ($1-5 max.)

It has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI monitor output for the TV, so assuming all your devices are HDMI-capable, YES.

As above :
Connect PS3 via HDMI to DTV/IN, Connect HDMI from out to TV's HDMI/IN. Connect TV's Optical out to amps DTV/Optical in.

2X HDMI cables and one Optical are required.

I have the V363 but yours looks the same.

Enjoy great sound :)

OH: choose the DTV input then stereo and then dolby etc .. cheers

Connect Xbox via HDMI to DTV/IN, Connect HDMI from out to Sony Bavia's HDMI/IN. Connect TV's Optical out to amps DTV/Optical in.

2X HDMI cables and one Optical are required.

Enjoy great sound :)

OH: choose the DTV input then stereo and then dolby 5.1 etc .. cheers

Why do you need to connect the rca cables when you get better sound through hdmi?
