Two issues here:
1. I want to watch movies from time to time with my floor speakers blazing. This would be watching blueray run through my avr.
2. My wife and kids want to watch movies without dealing with the oh so complicated avr and big floor speakers.
Its easy to just run an hdmi from the blueray player to the avr, but that makes it necessary to have the avr and floor speakers running.
My thought is to run the hdmi connection between the blueray player and tv. I would also connect the digital audio cable from the tv to avr. This way the wife and kids simply turn on the player and the tv and use the tv speakers. If I wanted to use the avr/floor speakers I would just tell the tv to use the digital audio out allowing the avr and speakers to do their thing. Does that sound right? If I did it that way would I lose sound quality when using the digital out from the tv to the avr?
