I have a SAT-200HD receiver, a 40XBR800 TV, and soon a Marantz VP-12S2 FP. For "normal" Sat-TV viewing, I plan on just using the sattelite receiver-to-TV combination, connected either via DVI or Component Video (CV). For "special" Sat-TV viewing, and for DVD, I plan on going CV and audio thru my Denon 5800 (for now, until I upgrade it to separates) and CV on to the Marantz. It seems I can't do this though, because you can either use the DVI or CV output, but not both, without toggling the switch on the back of the SAT-HD200 between RGB/DVI and CV. I'm already planning on using a CV Dist Amp for the single CV out of the Denon to run it to either the TV or FP. Is my only recourse to also put a CV Dist Amp on the output of the SAT-HD200 to split it between either TV or Denon? Seems like a mess for what I thought would be a basic requirement. Alternatively, I guess I could just go S-Video between the SAT-HD200 and TV for normal viewing, but then I loos the opportunity to view HDTV from the sattelite receiver without going through the HT AV receiver. Or am I overlooking something? Is anyone else trying to do something similar? Basically, I want a way to view HDTV on the TV without engaging the HT receiver setup, and to view HDTV on the TV and/or FP while engaging the HT receiver setup. Is this asking too much? I hope not.
TIA,
Paul
