Hi,
New here.
I like to keep things simple. My flat screen TV gets OTA channels via antenna, I have a few streaming apps on the TV, and a Blueray player connected to the TV. I also have a Denon AVR and a 5.1 system. Usually I just turn on the TV and watch what I described with the TV speakers.
When I want to play the TV through the Denon AVR, I simply just turn it on and mute the TV. The TV audio is connected to the AVR by an optical cable. Simple.
When I need to access the Denon's settings I switch the TV to an HDMI input. It then displays settings, and AVR volume changes, but I can not make changes while viewing the active program (I wouldn't hear the changes until I switched back to "TV"). Other settings available are Dolby, DTS, Stereo, etc. It would be nice to see the screen menus while viewing the program or movie.
My question is there a what to do what I am doing, watch what is on the TV, but also show the AVR settings and volume and other changes? Is there a way to make the AVR super impose over the current program on the TV?
Any ideas are appreciated. Maybe I am approaching this all wrong. Basically my TV does everything by itself, but sometimes I route the sound through the AVR. I know I can route external stuff like the BR player, but I don't know about OTA TV or the apps on the TV, so I am asking for your help.
Thanks!
