Isn't audio supposed to be passed thru HDMI

[3db]

I was under the impression that all receivers aare supposed to pass audio thru HDMI.. Is this just a poor choice on Denon's part not to do this for AVR689?

HDMI does carry audio but some cheaper receivers only pass video through HDMI.

You want a recevier that has an HDMI repeater, not an HDMI switcher.

At this stage of the game, it is rather ridiculous.
