Hi,
I'm about to have Sky HD fitted. I understand you have to use the digital cable to get 5.1 sound in to the amplifier (which is fine) and that you can then put the HDMI cable direct to your TV. This does not suit me as it would require buying a longer cable to get to the TV and I would prefer to use a good 1m cable that I have to go from box to AV Amp. I'm not sure if:
a: there is a pass through even when off for sound and vision to the TV
b: a stand by mode that would pass through sound and vision without having to use the amp for full blown 5.1
c: can only get sound and vision if the amp is fully switched on and functional
Any advice appreciated,
S
