Otherwise, there's no reason either HDMI or component won't work just as well.

If you follow my instructions in the previous post (# 2) you'll be able to do just what you want here.

If you replace where I said "cable" in that post with "DVD", you'll be able to accomplish the same thing for that as well. The only change might be that you will need to run separate 5.1 analog audio interconnects to he receiver's external 5.1 alalog audio inputs for the hi-falutin' HD super audio formats.

You'll be using the TV for video swiching and the AVR for audio switchng.
