Onkyo 6060 HDMI

[davecodling]

Hello !!!

I have an Onkyo 606 and have a dvd player, Ps3, and cable tv through it.
Does anyone know if there is a HDMI direct output on this reciever,as i do not always want the amp on. Sometimes i just want an output straight to the tv. But switching the amp off you lose sound and vision !!!

A friend says his amp has this feature, if the Onkyo has this i can't find it.

Or would i need a splitter box to do the job ?

Help please................

Why do you want to turn your receiver off? If you want to listen to the TV speakers sometimes, then here's how to set it to do that:

Audio TV Out
This setting determines whether audio received by an
HDMI input is output by the HDMI outputs. You may
want to change this setting to On if your TV is connected
to an HDMI output and you want to listen to audio from
an HDMI component through your TV’s speakers. Nor-
mally, it should be set to Off.
Off: HDMI audio is not output (default).
On: HDMI audio is output.

Notes:
• If On is selected and the signal can be output by the
TV, the AV receiver will output no sound through its
speakers.
• When TV Control is enabled, this setting is set to
Auto.
• With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be
output even if On is selected.
• When the Audio TV Out setting is set to On, or TV
Control is set to Enable and you’re listening through
your TV’s speakers (see page 31), if you turn up the
AV receiver’s volume control, the sound will be output
by the AV receiver’s speakers. To stop the AV
receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the set-
tings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV
receiver’s volume (Source).

I'm not sure if it's possible to turn your receiver off and have it pass the signals though.
