Does the Denon 2809ci receiver HDMI inputs work without the receiver being powered on?
In other words, do I need the receiver to be switched "on" to allow the television to get the picture and audio signal without using the receiver's speakers (just the televisions speakers only)?
So essentially I would be using the receiver as a switcher. I'm assuming that it will not work without the power "on".
My dish is HD, with an HDMI output, and my television has two inputs. Do I need to split the dish signal, one to the tv and one to the receiver? I'm trying to eliminate cables as well as make it as simple as possible. Also I don't always need to listen to the dish in surround.
What are others doing to hook up their dish?
