Thanks PT,
just to clarify because I'm slower than most life forms,
so if my TV is getting it's signal through my cable box (in my case Comcast) and the Comcast box is hooked to the AVR, does that mean the TV's speakers will still work independently when the speakers are switched to speaker B for the other room?
If not, how does one hook up a TV as part of a Home Theater system (HTS) using the surround sound speakers without going through the AVR? The Sony manual shows that the TV should be hooked directly to the AVR.
I'm trying to save my self from buying an addtl. receiver dedicated to the TV's HTS as it seems it should be possible.
On a side note, how does a multi-zone system allow you to play different music on different sets of speakers through one AVR?
