im admitting defeat and given up hope ... now i need help

i bought myself a AV Receiver (Sony STR-DH810) in the hopes of having an awesome home cinema setup. when i first set it all up i could get sound but no picture ..or i can get a crappy picture with no sound . then after playing around with the settings on the receiver and with my samsung tv . i managed to get the blu ray playing perfectly with sound and picture. but the consoles and our cable box when i switch to those i get sound and picture but the picture has this like red static dot interference on it that i cant get rid of . if i could just figure whats causing that i would be a happy man and it will all be working .

do you think its the tv or the receiver thats causing the red static interference ?

Well here is your first stupid response:
I understand that you are connecting your external devices (blu ray, xbox, etc.) to the receiver and then running the signal out of the receiver to the TV. I have heard of this set up before and hear problems with it, but I don't know too much about this shit to understand. What I did, with an older receiver: I hooked up all my external devices via hdmi to the tv then just ran the audio out from the TV to the receiver and then to the speakers. I have no problems with interference and the sound is awesome. The picture is also perfect because it goes directly from the external device to the TV.

I understand that this kind of defeats some of the purpose of that receiver, but try that set up and see if everything works. One advantage to this is that you don't have to change the input on the receiver for each device.
