I have a Sony KDL-46Z4100 HDTV and Sony DAV-HDX576WF Surround Sound. I also have a HDTV cable box. I want to connect all of the above and additionally listen to the TV through the surround sound. What’s the best way to do this? How many HDMI cables do I need? What other cables do I need?
THANK YOU!

This should be covered in the product manual.
Anything you want surround sound out of must be run through the receiver. So if you have a cable box, connect it to the receiver with the best possible connections, HDMI being ideal but optical or coax will work too. Then send the video out from the receiver to the TV either via HDMI from the receiver or else via HDMI or component from the cable box.

Your Sony surround sound system provides HDMI out and upconversion from the built in DVD player to 1080P. So run one HDMI from the Surround Sound to the Display to send video from the DVD. Connect another HDMI from the HD Cable or Sat box to the Display, this could also be component (RGB) video but HDMI is cheap online, You will also need to connect the Digital COAX (Orange RCA) or the optical audio from the Cable/Sat box to the surround sound system. You will need to switch inputs on both the surround sound and display when going from DVD to TV. The difference between this setup and a A/V Receiver that switches Video as well is that you have to run more than one cable to the Display and switch there as well.
