Alas, I am wrong, mistaken and spouting BS! All function buttons directly affect the TV. Watching TV and listening to another audio source simultaneously is not possible. Lucky for me, my 2-channel system is in the same room allowing me to have the game on and listen to music through it. My apologies; I am sorry. ~Richard P.S. Good luck with the solution and please let us know how it works out. @baron167 Thanks for triple checking this. So this not being able view video with different audio is a design flaw IMHO of a lot(maybe all) of AVRs. There is probably some technical issue with HDMI that makes this very difficult if not impossible with the current hardware/firmware. I'll bet it all comes down $$$.

No problem with that but your box would be more expensive and less people would buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 @babadono Have you looked at page 104 in your manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 @CECAA850 thanks for that. Apparently had not looked at it deeply enough which was @Schu 's suggestion. So it appears I could run my main L/R out the Zone2 or 3 preouts and at least get 2 channel audio from a different source while having the TV on. Still have to juggle cables to get main L/R speakers back to the TV. I have the HDMI splitter headed my way from Monoprice. We'll see how that goes.

babadono Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 ^K5SS, Thanks for that. Seems pretty damn basic to me. Especially when you have guests over on Thanksgiving. But to clarify I want video(football) with no sound from the TV and music from other sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 HDMI splitter worked first time I plugged everything in. Thank the Lord for small favors. Now with a couple clicks on remote buttons I can have TV video without sound and CD audio. Or switch back to TV. Note to self: make sure its set for regular TV viewing before turning off, better half would never figure it out and you know who would be in the doghouse. The video looks a little different direct from Dish TV box as opposed to going through the AVR but I trust that's just settings on the TV or AVR that I can figure out later. Thanks to all.
