I've come across a problem that I'm hoping some one can iron out.
I recently purchased a Sony receiver. I connected the Cable box, and BluRay devices to the corresponding HDMI inputs, while the HDMI OUT is connected to the TV, so they are passing through to get to the TV. I also have a CD player connected the receiver, and here's where the problem lies. While watching TV and switching to 'CD' the video is cut out on the TV. I'm using the receiver in a game room, so I'm guessing it's not possible to view TV while having music playing through the 'CD' input. Or any other audio input for that matter.
Is this the same for all current budget ($250) receivers that use a HDMI out? I know the receiver is acting like a HDMI switch, but the 'CD' input has nothing to do with the video output.
Any help or advice on a different receiver is appreciated.
