I need help hooking up my HTPC, BenQ W710ST 720P 3D ready Projector, Vizio E420VL 1080P 120 Hz TV, and Denon 2113CI AVR with 3D pass through. At the moment I am swapping HDMI cables behind the AVR (HDMI out) when I want to switch displays. Other then those cables I just have the HTPC sending Video & Audio to the AVR using the Video Cards HDMI out. I do have the cable companies coaxial cable split to TV and HTPC Tuner card.
I want to be able to use the 3D features on the projector. I am not sure how to properly set this up since the projector & TV have different resolution. I don't really have to have sound going to TV (keep it muted most of time) but it wouldn't hurt if it is easily done. I do need need sound from TV - AVR. I do not need sound coming from the projector. It would be nice to be able to possibly bypass the Video portion of the AVR just so I can switch the AVR to FM without disrupting the video but this isn't a absolute must have. My AVR has a video chip in it but I don't know if it would really help in my situation to use it. My HTPC video should be able to handle everything.
HTPC - Radeon HD6450 3D capable with DVI-D, D-SUB, & HDMI 1.3a. Also have on board video with HDMI, DVI, & VGA. Not sure if both Video cards can be used at the same time. The sound on the computer has a optical out, sound also passes through HDMI on video.

Any help would be most appreciated. Is it as easy as splitting the AVR's HDMI out to both displays?
