My coax-cable TV is connected directly to my Bravia, looped thru coax inputs on a surge protector. My computer-monitor cable & computer sound-card cable are directly connected to the Bravia TV. My patch cords go from TV output to control-receiver input.
When DVD movie is playing in computer the control receiver can be switched to TV sound. The DVD audio/video path goes from computer to TV/Monitor, then patch cords carry audio to receiver's surround-sound speakers.
Can't HDMI cable be used in place of patch cords?
When receiver is turned off then TV sound works OK, unless TV or receiver is manipulated with the master remote, purchased separately.
