- Prologue -

Girlfriends parents gave us an unneeded HDTV accompanied with universal remote(not a good sign).

Now have two spare older TVs so why not use one to hook-up one of those new gaming systems in a spare room.

- Problem One -

TV is a piece of shit and cannot acquire ANY video signal regardless of configuration; problems are compounded by not having the original remote that came with the TV.

- Solution -

Fuck that TV(and fuck the spare room) and hook-up the PS4 to (my) TV that she is already using for ROKU in the living room.

- Configuration -

PS4 HDMI to HDTV(1080i max); audio out to Onkyo TX-8511.

- Problem Two -

When using HDMI, audio is not output from TV via any composite or optical connection on back of TV.

- Conclusion - 

A quick, dirty, and workable solution to be done with this fucking project for the day :

HDMI to RCA adapter; everything works, finally. Had a choice of either using a low quality(yellow)composite video cable or a high quality audio cable for video connection and went with the latter.
