How do you hook up surround sound to your Wii?

I have a Wii and I'm trying to hook it up to my surround sound. It plays the sounds but I can't get any video. I have component cables and I hooked them up to my Sony Home Theatre system. I got my Xbox 360 to work, but I use a digital Output cordhooked to my component cable box thingand hooked the cables themselves to the TV. I hooked my Wii component cables to the slots on my receiver which are the same colour. I get sound from the speakers, but no picture form the TV. Can you help me?

whats next halo 4 on the wii :P

Hook the Red, Green, Blue Cables into the TV and the Red and White audio cables to your receiver.

The Wii is not capable dude.

Plug the component into your tv then have audio out from your TV go into your reciever then connect ur reciever to your Speakers. you should no have 480p & surround sound (make sure to set that in your wii aswell as yoru reciever). This is how i do it. heres a diagram just incase

Unless your receiver also handles the video, the component cables should go into your TV. Plug all five component cables into the respective slots in the TV.

Do you have your TV (the TV itself, not the other devices) hooked up to the receiver? If not, use cinch cables to feed the receiver the TV's (and with it, the Wii's) Stereo signal, choose "Pro Logic II" on your receiver (if it supports it), and you will have what in Wii terms is called "surround sound".

Edit: Yes, follow painguy's paint image. :D

@painguy1: Best diagram ever! :)

Well,if you do it painguy1's way,you might get only 2channel sound since the tv might output thatMonsieurX

thanks guys, but it can't work with component cables, only the normal cables cuz the components cables can't seperate too far from the normal red+ white ones.FPS1337

1. take a wire cutter, and carefully chop the plastic piece where the five cables separate, then you can split the audio cables from the video cables as far back as needed.

2. go to radio shack, and buy extensions for the audio cables.

I get 4 channel audio. i dont mean to attack you in anyway, im just pointing something out. I set my reciever to surround then my wii to surround aswell. I have 2 speaker wires going into the reciever & another two going into the surround sound designated inputs.

Might work for you,but not all tv's will carry out dolby audioMonsieurX

That's how I got mine hooked up. You can of course also use a coupler hook it to the red and white audio cables and run an extentsion to your receiver too.
