hi,
i have a similar problem. my pos cable company will only provide me with a cable box that puts out a mono signal (it actually has stereo output interconnects, red/white!) so i cant hook my cable box directly to my receiver. i have to let my tv decode the signal to stereo and then run to my receiver from my tv. if you are using a vcr in your set-up (i am not) it would be better to run a coax cable from the cable box to the vcr and then run audio interconnects to the receiver. this should solve the problem.
