Ah-ha! Even with all of that, I managed to leave out something that people were curious about! ;-)
The switcher is from Impact Acoustics, which I've seen get some good reviews (for what that's worth). It was necessary in order to connect Dish Network's receiver. Since I wouldn't want to have to turn on the Onkyo receiver (which connects through DVI) every time I watch anything (such as news or whatever) on TV, I needed to be able to switch between the Onkyo's output and the DN receiver. Actually, there's another thing with HDMI that I could hook up but, after some experimenting, I decided to leave it as is.
Anything sound amiss that I should know about? From your responses, I'm guessing that you believe the switcher could be the problem. I could try bypassing it, but then I run into the Dish Net problem. Plus, it's possible that bypassing the switch wouldn't solve the HD DVD problem (have to wait and see if the Blu-Ray player suffers from the same problem). If there's a better way, I'm all for it. The way things are currently set up, I'm not watching/listening to Dish Network through the Onkyo and that's okay with me ... at least, for the time being.
Toodles;
