As Kal said, it depends. Depends on when your AVR was made, like in that HDMI transition time when most people would have been using component for high quality video.

I got stuck in this bind before too, except in the days when most were using S-video/composite: the AVR menus didn't come out over component.

By "most people" I don't mean us necessarily LOL, but the general public.

What I did was put a little macro in my remote. Still use a similar macro now for getting AVR menus while watching OTA TV; since that is internally generated by the tuner, it doesn't use an "input" so external video (from AVR) doesn't display. Anyway, what the one-button macro does is split the screen and call up the AVR menu and show it in the little one. And another one-button macro undoes all that. So it's no more "tedious" than calling up the AVR menu, just takes a tad longer. I'm sure you can figure out similar that suits.
