Connecting my wii to my home theater

Hey, here are your options:

• Power cycle your home network and perform a connection test on the Wii.
  If your Wii was previously connected online, and no changes have been made to your home network, perform the following steps (if you have not previously connected your system online, skip to the next bullet point):
  1. Remove the power from your wireless modem and router. Plug the power back into both devices, starting with the modem.
  2. From the Wii Menu, select "Wii" in the lower-left corner, and then select "Wii Settings." Use the arrow on the right to move to the second page, then select "Internet," followed by "Connection Settings." Last, select your connection file, and the select "Connection test."



• Create a new connection file.
Set up a new connection file making sure the Wii is attempting to connect to the appropriate wireless network and is receiving a strong wireless signal. How to Wirelessly Connect the Wii to the Internet Nintendo Support

What kind of TV do you have?
I have found one of the easiest ways to connect surround system is to connect all your accessories (ie. Wii, Cable Box, VCR, etc) to the TV.

Next find the AUDIO OUT on the TV and connect this to the TV or AUX input on the home theater.

Tune the Home theater to the Input that you connected the TV to. This should play the audio through the home theater for any input you tune the TV to.

Note: make sure to turn the TV volume all the way down otherwise there will be some distortion due to the delay between the TV and the home theater.

Good Luck,
Robert

Hi,

To connect your wii to the internet you will need wireless router in your home. Then follow the official nintendo wii wifi connection guide to get connect through your access point: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/getOnline/index.jsp

Hi beejaysaunde,

To connect your Wii to the htsf 470:

1. Connect your Wii to your TV.
2. Use a separate audio cable (red/white) and connect from your TV to your htsf 470.
3. Choose the correct selection on the htsf 470.

This setup will have your Wii's video go directly to your TV and the Wii's audio to be sent to the stsf470.

I hope this helps.

there should be a setting in the menu that allows you to change the option for this. like "delay" or "calibration"

The Wii AV cable should have a red/white pair of Audio Output jacks on it.
Check out pg. 8 of the Wii manual: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/WiiOpMn_setup.pdf
Connect the red/white RCA plugs from the AV cable to a line level audio input on your receiver. If you use AUX IN, then select AUX IN on the INPUT selector switch. You should then hear the sound from the Wii through your receiver/home theater system.

Just choose how to wiring below;

DON'T FORGET TO RATE

On the back of your AVR (audio video receiver) where you connect a DVD, VCR or any other component. Example if there are open component jacks where you would connect a VCR just plug in the Yellow, Red and White cables. Turn your AVR to the source you connected to and turn on the TV. It should then play thru the speakers and be seen on the TV. Treat it just like a DVD player or any input source.

I had the same problem until I switched my player-to-TV connection from S-Video to Composite.  Then it worked just fine.  Now I have player-to-TV as Composite, and Wii-to-player as Composite connected to Aux1.

A few things to consider; what type of connection is your Wii using? Composite, component, s-video, coax? Most home theater setups are made to route multiple video signals, usually of the Composite (RCA Red Yellow White) variety, and should be clearly labeled Video In. If it doesn't have extra inputs, you might want to consider buying a media switchbox- http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?sk=MC71730&productID=7663 A switch like the one linked above allows you to hook multiple audio and video sources into it and easily switch between them by pressing a button on the front.
