Users / Splitting Audio / Video Pipes
« on: April 01, 2009, 01:55:14 am »
I am having trouble properly configuring my a/v pipes, and would really appreciate any suggestions or clarifications.  Here is my setup:

In other words, my MD has video going directly to the TV and audio going to the receiver (through the improperly labeled HDMI input - I'm assuming that doesn't make a difference?), while my DVR has audio going to the receiver and video going through the receiver to the TV.

When I choose Live TV from the DVR, the expected Input Select commands are sent:
Code: [Select]

However, when I select a video from the MD, I get something unexpected:
Code: [Select]

There is an extra command going to the TV, tuning it to the receiver's input.  If I delete the video pipe from receiver to TV, the issue is resolved, so I have to assume that sending the audio to the receiver is for some reason activating that output video pipe.  Am I doing something wrong here?  Any help is very appreciated!

Users / Complex Discrete Input Selections
« on: February 04, 2009, 03:52:51 pm »
My TV doesn't directly support discrete inputs, but you can press a number to select the input after you have pressed the input button.  For example, to select HDMI, I would press [Input] and then [4].  I couldn't figure out how to use that when setting up the device, so does anyone know how I could accomplish this?  I can also use the toggle mode, but I would definitely prefer discrete if it's possible.
