</div>Have you tried a device like a DVD or B/R player? Do you still get 5.1<br>
on your receiver from one of those, going through the TV?<br>

I don't understand why they would find it necessary to have the ability to pass 5.1 through the TV, now I have to have a mess of cables, or buy a new amp that has the hdmi switch built-in, and put all those TV hdmi inputs to waste..how stupid is that?<br>
