Dude, try this:

1) From remote control, press Input 3 button (top row). Input 3-4-5 are HDMI.
2) When you are in Input 3, press HOME MENU.
3) Choose Option
4) Choose HDMI Input
5) Choose Setting=ENABLE, Signal Type = VIDEO, video=AUTO, Audio=AUTO.

It should work.

Honestly, you don't have to do anything or worrying much with your Kuro. Out of the box, tune the pic a lil with your eyes using the basic adjustment and enjoy. Burn in? Not to worry as long as you don't set your contrast too high, I mean really high. Kuro is really great in all aspects.

If your budget is low, I recommend you get some used equipment first. A good used 5.1 avr and possibly mix and match 5.1 speakers would be not so expensive. Whatever choice you make, you should not waste your money on HTIB. Most >10 years old branded avrs still sound fantastic.

Seriously dude? Cheapest HD-audio capable avr I have seen was around rm1800. What brand are you talking about and where can our friend get it? Anyway, that alone has surpassed his budget of rm1500++.
I think if he wants to enter HD HT world, he need a minimum of RM7K. With his budget, he can only go with preowned DD/DTS 5.1 system.
