New member Username: Hardcore_harmankWingham, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-07 | I have my hi def bell pvr hooked up to the plasma...then audio out to the HK reciever. The reason is so I can have my HDMI hookup from dish to tv, then optical to the HK reciever. Am I by-passing the recievers 5.1 features by doing this? I bought Component video cables today so i can hook pvr and hi def dvd player up to the HK then out via component vid and optical to the tv. HELP ME!!!!! |

If this is done you will be able to access the 5.1 track if the program/DVD you are watching is encoded as such. |

Bronze Member Username: PynkfloydPost Number: 15 Registered: Mar-06 | Phil It appears that the AVR 145 does not have the on screen menu capability when using component video. On the back of the receiver you should see a yellow composite jack labeled monitor, just to the left of your component video input, once that output is connected to your plasma TV you can then access the on screen menu thru whatever input you have it connected to. It is really no big deal, because once you have tweaked everything you will not have to use the on screen menu that often. Here is the link to a pic of the back of your receiver. http://harmankardon.com/back.aspx?prod=AVR%20145&cat=REC&sType=C&Region=USA&Coun try=US&Language=ENG&ImgName=AVR145B.jpg I hope this helps.
