With modern AVRs, one uses the setup menu to associate a particular video source and a particular audio source with a specific input label, e.g., "DVD player." The sources, audio and video, can usually be associated with more than one label. So, I have my cable STB video and cable STB audio associated with the input label: CABLE/SAT. I also have my cable STB video and my SACD/DVD-A player audio associated with the input label AUX-1. With this arrangement, I can watch/listen to cable TV or I can watch football and listen to music!

So, yes, A and V switch together but you can determine the combinations in use. Is that sufficiently confusing?

Thanks, guys... I guess. But I still cannot determine from spec sheets... - clarkjohnsen 08:13:38 10/17/07 (3)
...whether any particular receiver or switcher will do this. Is there maybe a coded designation for such performance?

- Maybe the best way to figure it out is download the manuals... - oscar 12:07:24 10/17/07 (2)
  or have a "knowledgeable" salesperson demonstrate it with particular models. I doubt I could figure it from a "spec sheet".
  - "Manuals." That's a good idea, thanks. nt - clarkjohnsen 09:17:34 10/18/07 (0)

    With the complexity of these things, there's no way to get all the operational issues in a spec sheet. Thank goodness that we can get manuals from the internet.
