Home audio gurus, help needed.

Yea man… I’ll go through and turn everything on, then I’ll go take my dogs out or take a shit, sometimes both. Usually the signal will be on the TV by then, but sometimes not still. It’s a pain in the balls.

I’m sure I could run all of the HDMIs to the TV, and then only used the receiver for audio, but it kinda defeats the purpose of having a receiver, no?

I’m prolly not gonna fuck with it until I put new carpet in my living room and run new wiring for all of the surround sound since I’ll be moving shit around and re-installing stuff anyways.
