I have my PS3, and direct tv going to my receiver, I don't use the sound on the tv rather my Aperion speakers. The wii has 5 composite cables to hook up and on the back of the 607 the game part only has 3, also would I need to run a wire from the out to the tv? Any ideas on hooking up my Wii to my 607? I am wanting to avoid all the wires going to my tv and rather run everything though my receiver. I wish Wii would make a cable that had a HDMI connector on the end.

Plug video into video and audio into audio.  Then assign the inputs based on where you plugged them in.  Then switch the receiver to that input.

 

You don't need to plug it into the TV.

Here's what i did:

 1.Purchased a generic component cable for WII.

2.  Plug the Red/Green/Blue cables to back of AVR Component in video section

3.  Plug the RCA (Red/White) cable to an audio in input on the AVR

4.  Run a seperate Componet Video Cable from AVR component output  to TV component input.

 I've notice a much better picture using component cable with WII vs the standard 1 plug video cable.

It does suck that there is no HDMI or digital audio out on WII but you will find the component plus RCA's make a nice improvement.

 

 

David, I'm going to assume you are using HDMI for both the PS3 and the direct TV.  I believe the Wii comes with a composite video/audio cable.  If that is what you are using, you should be able to plug that into the composite GAME in on the back of the Onkyo and you're all set.

If you have component video cables for the Wii, then I would use that (better resolution than composite).  There are two component in's on the back of the 607, one is marked DVD/BD (IN 1) and the other CBL/SAT (IN 2).  You should be able to use either one and then relabel the input on the 607's internal setup.  Whichever one you use, you want to use the corresponding analog audio inputs - since the analog audio isn't assignable.  So, if you use the Component Video in's for the DVD/BD, you'll want to connect the audio to the DVD/BD audio in's.  Likewise if you use the Component Video in's marked CBL/SAT, you'll want the audio in's for CBL/SAT.

Doesn't matter which component video in you use as long as you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio in (then just relabel the input on the menu to Wii or whatever).

ok I just realized I am an idiot. I plugged in the RCA cables the other day but guess I had the receiver sit to something else. I rather use the 5 cable composite hookup so I might try that later, I just didn't know which one to use cause the audio outlets did not say the same thing as the rca ones did. The lighting and my eyesite is not too good for trying to read those small letters.
