Ok. So I could use some help by someone experienced.
I kind of like being able to just turn my receiver on to hear sound output from it regardless of source used.
So instead of lets say connecting multiple HDMI/etc connections to the receiver and then switching the receiver source every time(a pain in the ass), I decided to do the opposite of connecting all devices to the TV instead and then use the digital optical audio output from the back of the TV to the receiver. This way I can switch between my cable box, blu-ray player and computer TV-out and not have to worry about changing the source on receiver every time.....
My question is, was this a good idea and am I affecting sound quality in any way shape or form by doing this versus connecting to my receiver first? I wouldnt think so but I wanted to get some input. Any drawbacks to this?
Thanks!
