Pass Through or Switched ?

So i have been looking around for receiver w/ HDMI inputs and the price difference between Pass Through and switched is quite a bit.

From what the best buy guy told me the switched would need an extra wire for audio . Is that all ? I am paying so much extra money for pass through to save one wire ?

Thanks !

I don't know the meaning of switched but some receivers don't receive audio through HDMI. They will send the audio along to whatever is down line but you will need to have a digital audio connection between each input device and the receiver for surround sound. It isn't any more complicated than that.
