When I setup home theatre systems I always use the TV's a/v switcher when
possible, this does not necearily provide better quality (AS FAR AS I HAVE
SEEN) however it provides greater simplicity for the non-techie people in
households.
You can switch the AV inputs on the TV by using the TV/Video button on
remotes and keep the AMP off to watch tv if you have a sony (There is a one
button trick to turn off the built in speakers on WEGAs)
then when you want to watch a DVD or something with surround, just push the
speaker off button and set your amp to it's 5.1 input. which was sperately
routed.
hope it helps.
