Yes I was talking about HDMI cabling to everything. I see too that if you can change inputs for the pass-through, and the unit powers up on an input command, you would turn it on every time you changed inputs. Is it possible that with pass-through enabled it bypasses the power on function of the input command? That would be the best of both worlds.

I've had several people over the years ask to route audio to the tv so that they didn't have to use the system just to watch the news. I don't get that.
