I am trying to hook up a Spectrum cable box (Arris DCX3600M), with my home theatre system (Sony HBD-DZ175), my digital tv (Sharp LC37SB24U) and my HDMI VCR/DVD Recorder (Sony RDR-VX535). They are NOT HDMI (ARC) devices, although they all have HDMI slots. Can you please help!
 
Two paths:

1. If your DZ175 has multiple HDMI ports, this is where you plug everything in. HDMI Output to TV. TV Optical back to DZ175.

2. If DZ175 no multiple HDMI, then hookup all sources to TV directly, hope u have enough HDMI ports and again TV Optical to DZ175.

Am sure I grossed over many details, am just giving you the 50 foot view.

jsmithepa, thanks so much for your response! I guess this won't work for my situation, 2 HDMI ports in tv and 1 HDMI in all the rest. I have tried all different options, and can not get the dvd/vcr to produce both picture and sound. I really appreciate your help though, and I will keep trying. Maybe I'll have to use a splitter...
