I can't tell if it has HDMI passthrough. I would like an AV receiver, but I think I need to pass through HDMI to the TV without being on itself, so that I have the option to watch TV and not use the surround stereo.
Is this for connecting a cable box? For situations where I don't want the receiver to be on I have also connected the cable box component and stereo outputs directly to the TV.
My TV has two HDMI inputs, and I just bought an AppleTV, so now I have 3 possible inputs, my DVD, ATV, + I used to run it as a 2nd monitor for my mini. I would also like optical audio for the ATV (I think this has this). It is all very complicated, so before buying anything, I should really get a sense of how this will all hook up and work. But this does look like a good deal so thanks for posting it.
