How do I connect my Xbox 360 to my HTZ656DVD Pioneer 5.1 Home Theater System?

I use the sound system, DVD satellite TV and DVD's, CD's and it does have a digital audio connection. It's my only option to use the L / R channel and always plug / unplug the TV sound or sound with each use Xbox? Please advise any good suggestions for all that techie people out there ......

You can get a / divisor RL ... something like a Y shape, and leave the TV and the Xbox plugged in all the time it is in the sound works ...!

Why use an HDMI cable in a home theater system?

have a Sony Bravia which already receive high definition image and Sony 5.1 850W home cinema system that will be the difference if I use HDMI to connect to the TV?

I have a Bravia 46-inch, and a BRAVIA Home Theater System, so I can attest to the fact that you must use HDMI, its AWESOME! The picture is incredible (Its better shape than when I was using the RCA cables and the sound is a bit sharper. Also, if both are Bravia, you can use Bravia Sync, which allows using only the distance from the TV to turn everything on, and change volume, and when you hit play on the DVD remote, the TV automatically switches to the system input HD Theater is connected to, and play the DVD. Through the HDMI cable, its all one button access! Its just awesome to have, and PPL also impressive when you all that with one button! You'll love the benefits!

Description

Sound this big from speakers this small just has to be heard to be believed. The Polk Audio RM705 complements today's stylish high-tech flat panel TVs and audio electronics. The new RM705 Home Theater System is a complete six-piece 5.1 channel system that presents a sleek, minimalist design while delivering impressively big sound. Heavy-duty, non-resonant composite enclosures feature an elegant, high-gloss finish that creates the ideal décor accent. Polk speaker technology ensures superior system performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound. Mount the speakers on shelves, or next to your plasma or flat-screen television using their flexible wall-mount brackets. An included cradle supports the center channel. The RM705 is part of our 700 Series, also available in 6.1 and 7.1.

With Polk Audio's RM705, you get a perfectly matched, professional quality compact 5.1-channel surround sound home theater system at an affordable price. It combines four high performance RM7 satellite speakers, the RM7 center channel speaker, plus a specially engineered, compact 50-watt powered subwoofer. The RM7 satellite speaker. The RM7 satellite speaker's Reuleaux Triangular Polygon cabinet is extremely rigid and acoustically ideal for minimizing resonances and standing waves inside the speaker. The "boominess" that makes other small speakers sound "muddy" is avoided, and what you hear is superior, uncolored performance and lifelike imaging. It features Polk's Dynamic Balance technology, with a 2.5-inch composite driver and a woven silk dome 12mm tweeter producing a warm sound that's also full of clarity and transparency. The Polk Audio RM705 5.1-channel surround sound speaker set (see larger image). The RM7 center channel speaker is a perfect match to the RM7 satellites. Use it as a center channel or add it to a 5.1 system to make a 6.1 system and you'll have true surround sound, great for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Anti-Diffraction Baffle Exhaustively tested and modeled to produce the sophisticated acoustic sculpting, the anti-diffraction baffle delivers the largest possible dispersion pattern with virtually no edge diffraction or distortion. The wide, lifelike soundstage proves that you can have small speakers without sacrificing big sound. Composite Driver Technology Working in tandem with the shape of the compact enclosures are specially engineered drivers made from strong composite materials. Polk Audio's patented Dynamic Balance technology scientifically tunes these driver materials to produce an excellent flat frequency response, with sharp detail, transparent imaging and the ability to play loud without any strain, something you won't find in other small speaker systems. RM sound is always clean, clear and effortless. These are small speakers that can really keep up with the action on your big screen. Multiple Mounting Options Put them on the TV stand. Put the Center Channel Speaker right on the TV. Put them on stands next to the TV (use Polk Audio's own custom-designed SA Stands, made to compliment the look of the RM speakers). Hang the speakers on the walls. Use articulating brackets to aim them perfectly. RM Series speakers weigh just 3lbs, so you can put them virtually anywhere and move them easily.

**Note from Klipsch: We are aware of and have addressed the trouble with the DVD player portion of our Klipsch CS-500 2.1 Home Theater system. We recently (MAR-10) upgraded the DVD portion of the CS-500 to a much more robust and reliable mechanism (this includes units currently in-stock at Amazon).

By way of Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, this amazing compact setup delivers the effect of a large, 5.1 home theater system with just two satellites, a subwoofer, and an A/V center.

Our exclusive Tractrix(R) Horn technology is what allows this home theater system to deliver genuine lifelike sound as well as produce more output using less energy. The down-firing subwoofer utilizes a powerful 6.5" woofer. The A/V center features a built-in Class D amplifier that distributes 35 watts of power to each satellite speaker and 100 watts of power to the subwoofer. It also includes Dolby Virtual Speaker technology along with a progressive scan DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner, and three auxiliary inputs. The CS-500 home theater system even has the ability to pass high-definition signals through a component output and can simplify all of the auxiliary input connections into a single convenient output to the TV. An easy-to-use universal IR remote control directs all system functions as well as those of the TV and other entertainment devices.
