I have been trying to get my surround sound to work for hours and still nothing, i bought some things that didn't come with a user manual because i bought them from ebay, and i couldn't find the manuals online
I have an hdtv Philips 40" 40PFL4707/F7
a 5.1 surround sound receiver PIONEER VSX-D457 5.1 HomeTheatre DOLBY
a 5.1 surround sound speaker set up VM Audio EXMS590T 800W 5.1 Home Multi Media Surround Sound
and an hdmi dvd player
I'm very confused as to how i should connect each device to each other.
My reciever does not have hdmi cable inputs/outputs.
I want the video to come out in hd, how do i hook these things up?
Below are some of the pictures of my receiver and all the plug ins that i have no idea how to set up.

My speaker set up came with these cables
http://www.vminnovations.com/sys/resource.ashx?guid=a38527c287164af79f2d2dde25785d28
And lastly do i have to hook the audio from each device (xbox 360, tv, dvd player, etc) to the receiver? or can i hook all devices to the tv and then send the sound to the receiver through the tv?
This is a list of inputs and outputs on my tv
2 x HDMI (19 pin HDMI Type A) - Side,
1 x HDMI (19 pin HDMI Type A) - Rear,
1 x VGA input (15 pin D-Sub (DB-15)) - Side,
1 x Composite video / component video input (RCA phono x 3) - Rear,
1 x Audio line-in (RCA phono x 2) - Rear,
1 x Digital audio output (coaxial) (RCA phono) - Rear,
1 x Headphones (Mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm) - Side,
1 x USB (4 pin USB Type A) - Side
If i do have to plug in audio to the receiver, would i be able to have both the hdmi cable going to the tv while also having audio only cables going to the receiver? or would that not work?
Thank you for reading all of this, and especially thank you if you can help me. I know this is a lot of stuff, but there are so many different ways i could be messing it up that i need to know the exact right way to do it for it to work.and i (obviously) have no idea what i am doing ahah
Sorry for such a long question and i hope someone can help :)
Thank You!!!!
Answer
First off the VM Audio sub-woofer is incompatible with the Pioneer VSX D457 Receiver, they will not work together...you may be able to use the Satellite speakers if they are 8 ohm with the Pioneer VSX D457 next you do not have any digital connections on that receiver so you are only going to get stereo at best the Pioneer VSX D457 has Dolby prologic which is an analog 4.0 system and can be used to produce a psudo-surround from stereo. Dolby Pro-logic makes no provisions for a sub-woofer....some high end prologic receivers did there own sub-woofer provisions as aftermarket unfortunately your D457 is not one of them, so there is no provision for a subwoofer of any kind...also you will not be able to use a blu ray player with any satisfaction in surround...you would hook everything up to the TV then run a cord from the headphone jack out to the receiver for stereo sound nd then use prologic to produce a pseudo surround effect.
It may be best to leave the Pioneer VSX receiver out completely and just hook the VM Audio speaker system up directly to the TV.....

Answer
Only one of your receiver pics works, the 2nd one. It would have helped a LOT more had you simply said what make and model it is, because there are lots of pics on the web.
It looks like your receiver doesn't have HDMI plugs. That's bad. You should get a modern receiver that has HDMI inputs and outputs. Then it's real simple; All hidef sources would go to receiver HDMI inputs, and one HDMI goes from the receiver to the TV. To send TV audio to the receiver, a digital optical cable goes from the TV to the receiver. Your hidef TV has one, very likely, your receiver, apparently, not so.
Speakers connect to the speaker outputs of the receiver, obviously. But, the cables that you show that camwe with your speakers do NOT work with any proper home theater audio receiver, so I bet that your speakers came from a cheapie all-in-one HT system, and isn't usable with proper audio gear. Again, had you mentioned the make and model of the speakers, that would have helped lots.
Looking at the back of the subwoofer, it looks like you're supposed to connect the rest of the speakers to it's rear connections. FR means Front Right, Cen means Center, and so on.
Frankly, it looks like you have a dog's breakfast of wildly incompatible pieces, so I'd bet that they really won't work as a combo. Wrong choices, wrong bits.
