How do I hook up my new receiver so the stereo plays my xbox and tv audio output?

I'm technologically handicapped and I just got a new stereo. I have an xbox 360 and a big HDTV, and now I need to hook them both up to the stereo. I have the xbox playing through it by running the three of six hookups into the receiver directly, with the three video ones going to the TV, but don't know where to run the TV audio. Basically, I'd love to find a nice simple wiring diagram as I'm sure this is a fairly common hookup. Please just direct me where to find the right information if you don't have it. Thanks!!!

If you have an HD cable box just run an optical cable out of the box straight into your receiver for surround sound. Turn off the tv's speakers. And choose the optical input on your receiver.

Out of the tv itself, there will be only an optical audio output. If you are using an antenna it will send surround sound. If you are using any other type of signal for the tv, it will send only stereo. If that's all you have, just choose a pro logic setting for the tv's sound and you'll get fake surround but it will sound OK.

And from your xbox, you should have an HDMI running into the tv for pic and an optical cable from it into your receiver for surround. Choose bitstream as it's sound output.
