Hello,
It's been awhile as I've been happy and haven't been buying much in the AV world

I did just get the iris on my projector replaced under the extended panny warranty, thank god!
I recently upgraded my HTPC with an HDCP capable HDMI video card (ASUS 3450). I of course want to use the HDMI output which can also handle audio. I have my PS3 and A2 connected to the Yamaha 603 via HDMI, then out to the projectors one HDMI input. I have the DVR hooked up with component to the receiver, but plan to switch to HDMI as well. I just ordered a 4 to 1 HDMI switcher with remote from monoprice.
This leads to a couple of options:
1. Connect the PS3, A2, HTPC, and 8300HD via HDMI to switcher, switcher out to one input on the receiver.
2. Connect three of the above devices to the switcher, and one directly to the receiver
Is there any benefit from connecting one of them to the receiver or would you just simply connect them all with one input on the receiver?
Also, do any of you have this switcher remote programmed into your Harmony? Does it work well or should I count on using the "auto switching" function?
Thanks,
Pat
