Hello...
You've no doubt heard this expression, "How long do you want to keep beating a dead Horse?" I am so sorry for being completely dense on this stuff, but over the last six months, I have received tons of misinformation on the Display to AVR hooking up issues, primarily from audio salesmen, and other forums, I'm just plain dizzy.
I've waited awhile for the right receiver that could handle what I thought......
Fully compatible with HD audio and video. Featuring HD audio decoding, HDMI (4 in/ 1 out), 1080p video upscaling. Pure Direct, YPAO, Cinema DSP 3D and custom installation features,HDMI Pass-through,HDMI Up Conversion(with upscaling up to 1080p).
remember, I was going to get the Onkyo 606 or 706, and the Sony HTiab (gasp) but decided on this Yamaha RX-V665 AVR, and a 6.1 speaker system.
I have a HDTV Display mounted on the wall with one HDMI cable presently connected to my Time-Warner-DVR STB, soon to be connected to the Yamaha RX-v665,along with a 6.1 speaker setup.
It's not hooked up yet, because I'm going round and round trying to figure out the best way to do this with less cabling in the walls. Besides, I would have to take the TV back down to connect any additional cables in it and that would be a BIG hassle.
Now, with this receiver, I'm thinking all I have to do is keep the one HDMI from Display to the AVR, and then all the other components into the AVR. In doing this, will I still get 6.1 from the display via the receiver?
I was told this…

"Put simply, if you run an HDMI from your display to the receiver you will only get 2.1 audio (some sort of restriction due to copyright laws)." IS THIS TRUE?
"You must pass all audio through the receiver first in order to get all the audio formats in proper 7.1."
"If you want to sometimes just have the display on without the receiver you can run a separate optical cable for audio and a component video feed directly to the display from the cable box/sat receiver." I’d rather not.

I kind of wanted to have a choice on either listening to the TV speakers for just watching regular broadcast, or the AVR, but this seems like a lot more of a hassle
HERE IS THE YAMAHA RX-V665 Receiver, In looking at the specs,would I just be able to hook it up with my original idea...one HDMI from Display to AVR, and everything else into the AVR? - (Bluray,TW-DVR,CD/DVD player)
Please click on this -
RX-V665BL
What else do I need to do to get all the Audio/Video features from the AVR and the Display to play through all the 6.1 speakers? Anything at all, or am I good to go? Currently, I think there a few 5.1 Dolby programming channels on TV, and the 6th rear-center speaker matrixes along with the rear-right and rear left speaker.
I thought this AVR did it all where all I have to do is run one hdmi to AVR.
Thanks a bunch!
Don't HATE me because I'm electronically challenged.
