Why does HDMI negate other audio output from blu ray

Posted by MarkCR on January 5, 2009 at 21:50:23:

I just purchased a panasonic bdp 55 and the manual says that using the hdmi audio negates or may adversely impact the analog 5.1 or 7.1 audio output. I had planned to send the hdmi to the tv for when I would just listen to the tv (and not bother with the pre-pro etc.), but wanted to use the analog 5.1 out to go to my pre-pro, which does not have hdmi. According to the manual, this will not work. Any advice on being able to run both without having to turn off the hdmi audio each time I want to use the pre-pro. Having to go thru the menus to make the fix each time may prove daunting for family members when I am not there.
