Hi, all...

I apologize if this topic has been covered in an earlier thread (my searches have not specifically uncovered anything), but since most AVRs under $1000 do not have hdmi inputs/outputs, will a system arranged as follows function? I have an HD Directv Tivo with HDMI output. I've connected it to my Panasonic TH50PX500U Plasma TV. If I then use the digital audio output from the Panny to an AVR, will I continue to be able to watch video on my HDMi setting and listen to the audio through the AVR? Could there possibly be any sync problems? I haven't purchased an AVR yet, and want to make sure this will work. Otherwise, I may wait until AVRs with HDMI input/output have come down to earth a bit.

Thanks so much in advance!
