Hi,

I am a new Panny owner and trying to figure out how to connect all my electronics via HDMI connections since the back of the projector only has 1 HDMI input. I own the following:

A.) PS3
B.) X BOX 360
C.) WII
D.) COMPUTER
E.) COM CAST DIG. CABLE/DVR

* I do not own a Receiver as of yet but, I am looking at an Onkyo HT-S894 from Crutchfield w/ 2 HDMI in, 2 out, 3 component in, 1 out, and 4 optical, 2 coaxial audio inputs.
** The HDMI switcher im looking at is the '5x1 Enhaced HMDI Switch w/ built-in equalizer (REV 2.1)' from monoprice.

Let me know if Im wrong but this is what I have in mind:
1.) Connect SWITCHER ----> RECEIVER ----> PANNY via HDMI ( so Receiver is in between the Panny and the switcher)
2.) Connect all the inputs from above to the switcher.
a.) Except for the Wii and Xbox that will be connected via component directly to
Receiver and the ONLY way audio will go out from each of the systems to the
receiver is via optical cable??? Im unsure about this.
b.) The computer will have a DVI to HDMI adapter and sound will go from the
computer to Receiver via coaxial or optical cable.
3.) Does anybody know if this particular receiver and switcher supports HDMI
audio pass-through, so the PS3 and the comcast box transmits both audio and
video through HDMI?
4.) The Panny support 1080p/24...Does that mean the receiver and switcher both
have to support this same resolution so the 1080p/24 passes through?
5.) Any alternative ideas to connect everything?

Thank You very much for all your thoughts.
