You can connect the video from the cable box and the BR player directly to HDMI inputs on the TV.
You can connect the analog audio outputs from the cable box and BR player directly to analog inputs on the Linn.
You will, of course, have to switch the inputs independently.

Hi Kal,
If I hook everything up as you have suggested, do you think I will experience the time lag in voice and sound as jeromelang has noted in his post below?
I cannot see another way with the equipment you have described.
Hi Kal,
I appreciate your replies and totally understand that they are based on the equipment that I am currently using.
Hopefully I won't have the time lag problem....but if I do, and the dealer does not accept the return of my TV....is there anything I can do to remedy this problem? Is there some kind of new/modern receiver or dac that I could buy to fix this. If the movement of the lips do not match the sound...that will drive me crazy!
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
Almost any modern AVR with HDMI functions will take care of all the issues.
Thanks Kal for your help. Just a little follow up....I talked with the owner of the store where I bought the new tv from today. I explained to him about all of the equipment that I am currently using and planning on using with the new tv when it arrives and asked him how it all should be connected. He told me to do it exactly as you had told me to do it originally. I expressed to him my concern about the possible "lag" issue and he said that I need not to worry....it will not happen as long as we hook it up as both you and he had suggested.
It will be a couple of weeks before the tv will be delivered as we are having a craftsman custom build a stand for the tv....but once it is here and all hooked up, I will follow up to let you know how it all works.
Thanks again!
Warmest regards,
No Regrets
Thanks Kal,
That's great! That makes me happy this will all work out and easy to understand.
Any recommendations on HDMI cables? I can hear the differences between cables in my two channel audio system....is it the same thing with HDMI cables, where there are differences?
You can always take it back if it doesn't work out, but for video a wireless HDMI connection just might be ready for prime time. I recently hooked up a Panasonic Viera 65" 3D to an Actiontec Wireless HD Video Transmitter/Receiver (it specs for 3D but bI have not tried that yet). I'm not a videophile, but I am a videographer and I can tell you the picture is great either transmitting from a cable box (even from another room) as I briefly had it connected or, as I have it connected now, transmitting from my Blu-ray player to the receiver connected to the Panasonic. My audio is analog connected. Like I said you can always take it back.
Robert; you know to be careful of absolutes. If your bet is large enough
I can provide a list of sources that will not take back returns! A good
source would have clued him on how to handle the situation as that is
what they deal with daily.
Good point. I should have advised to check the return policy of the retail establishment.
