Connect the optical audio out of your tv to the the optical in port of your receiver(under the digital in section at the back). It will give you the best quality sound and will vastly simplify the setup as you do not have too hook-up each device to the receiver independently as with this hook up, what ever plays on the tv will be output through the amplifier/HT system.
Why does the TV need to be a part of the audio chain? What if it was a monitor (speakerless)? Wouldn't that simplify the solution? Get audio from the cable box analog RCA audio out and plug it in to any available inout on the RV701. You're not going to get surround from a stereo receiver.
If all of the 6 DVRs are on the same location (on the same network), and you want to remotely connect (VPN) to that location, you can Endura Enable the DVRs and then VPN to the Primary DVR. (Note that you need to be Endura Certified to use the Endura Enabled feature).
If they're all geographically distributed, you can only VPN into a single unite at a time..
Instead of trying to use the wireless speaker as a dedicated TV-audio-via-the-receiver speaker why don't you just attach it as recomended to the receiver for ALL of its audio outputs; or directly to the TV if that is the sole use you have in mind?
And since TV is an audio INPUT only to the receiver, simplify the audio hookup by attaching its analog audio to any available analog input BUT NOT one that funtions as a tape loop.
One more significant improvement I would recommend is to draw the TV-related audio from whatever device originates it but NOT the TV. THe sources are probably all capable of digital multi-channel sound while your routing of TV-analag-stereo audio limits the quality by washing it through the TV's questonable audio electronics while forbidding actual multichannel listening.
The first thing you want to do is run a standard RCA cable from the reciever's Monitor Out to one of the TV's Video In ports so you can see the On Screen Displays from the receiver.
Not knowing what your TV has for connectors: For minimal stereo / low-fi video: If your TV has RCA jacks for L and R audio, run them to AUX In; run the TV's Video Out to the receiver's standard Video 1 In . If you have a cable box, you could run its corresponding cables to the same places for TV viewing.
If your cable box has digital audio outputs, use them instead (best sound, multi-channel) - connect to one of the Digital In's that matches the type and assign it to TV or Cable. Use the Component Video from the cable box, if available.
i think logitek is complicating home entertainment with the notion of simplifying the quantity of remotes/devices people have. use the remotes that came with the device. its a lot of cash for a remote that causes so much frustration and complications. so we feel it is necessary to pursue the idea of One Holy Remote. Save yourself the headache, get rid of that nightmare and use the two or three remotes that came with your stuff. everytime i see one of those remotes in my customers hands, i think oh god not another one.
Look towards the back of the manual. You go into setup. Choose HDMI. Then there is another setting that you have to activate. The receiver must be set to the HDMI input that you want, before the receiver is turned off. I just installed my receiver last night and followed that procedure. Works great.
Gary,
Sounds like channel 1 burnt out then channel 2 on the internal amp of the radio. If you are looking for another Jensen as a replacement they are decent for a lower priced radio.
However if you are not operating your boat on salt water you could use a regular car unit. I replaced the radio in our boat with an generic import and I couldn't be happier.
I bought something similar to this model here

not bad for just over 100 bux add 150 for a LCD and watch TV and dvd's in the boat too! although if your lake house is like mine there are only 2 channels to watch :(
Hack
Bottom line is that boats are a hrsh environment for electronics. Moisture, salt, and vibration all conspire to undo solder joints and electrical connections. 4 years is a pretty good life span on a boat. A solder connection within the unit could have let go. A good repair shop could probably fis the bad connection but you can probably replace the unit for less.
