This TV has a very limited number of inputs. Specs can be seen here:

I'm trying to figure out the most straightforward way to hook up my Comcast box and DVD player. I assume that I will hook the Wii up using Composite, and hook the Comcast up using DVI... but what about the DVD player? Is it possible to have the DVD player hook up THROUGH the Comcast box?

Any advice would be really appreciated

Here are your connectors: Options available from your equipment as well.

Wii = Composite (Yellow cable video - terrible picture) - svideo as well as component cables are available for ~$20.
What connector does the DVD player have? (Svideo? Composite? Component?)
What connector does the comcast box have? (composite? Component? You mention DVI, never seen that but I trust yas)

Short easy answer without any further info: Wii composite, dvd player svideo, comcast DVI.

Composite Video 1 (BNC)
S-Video 1 (4-pin mini DIN)
VGA RGB Signal 1 (15-pin mini d-Sub)
DVI Digital Input 1
Stereo Audio In 1 (RCA L/R)
Serial Control (RS232C) 1 (9-pin mini d-Sub)

Thanks for the info :)

DVD has HDMI, S-Video, Component, Composite.
Comcast has DVI (they were out of the HDMI one, didn't matter for me), Composite, Component

The speakers I have are for PC I think (they come with the black/orange/green cables), and have "front", "back", "center". On the back of the Comcast box, it has Red/White output, but the size of the jack is different... Is there any way to fix that?

Thanks again
