TV connection to Processor.

You do not need any switcher.

Run one or two HDMI cables from your sources presumably DVD and TV Tuner into the TV.

If you have a system remote with macros than program the remote to make the switchs for you, viola you are done.

The audio for surround is a seperate pathway, all you have to do is to switch to the appropriate HDMI input on the TV and route the audio the same way couldn't be simpiler.

This is simple, if your processor doesn't have HDMI then you can not connect it period!

HDMI cares sound as well as picture, but for someone with a pre/pro so what. You will still have to route a digital cable from your source to the pre/pro anyway.

The only reason to have built in HDMI is so that the picture and sound switches easily for the neophyte.

All you have to do is pick up the TV remote and switch input and do the same with the pre/pro done!
