I have done it on many occasions on my Yamaha and my Denon. My son comes over and plugs his ps3 into the front hdmi all the time while the receiver is on. I think they are looking for excuses. If its man made it will fail.

Manuals state before making any connections to be sure all equipment is powered off. So yes its possible that connecting a HDMI cord could have shorted out the HDMI board.
