We are presently putting together our first HT system, but have a challenge regarding how to config the hookup for our needs.In reading the various forums I understand that this satellite receiver has DVI connect not HDMI so we have bought the adapter.Our challenge is, we want to connect the satellite box to the AVR for surround sound re: concerts & movies, but we don't want to fire it up for ordinary programing and news.For that we will connect the audio cables from the sat box directly to the tv ( sony bravia XRB4) & the component cables likewise.
However do we also need to connect in addition to the DVI/HDMI cable to the AVR, audio cables to the AVR, ? if so..how do we accomplish both?
In other words, how do we configure the hookup to use the TV thru the AVR when desired, with the option of just watching the TV by itself?
Hope this isn't 'as clear as mud,' as my mother used to say!
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
