Was there an ending to this story?

Why can't you just break the CD player and the DVD player?  Just don't touch the TiVo.

Hey kcarlile I'm still unsure about this (please bear with me) but all my components (cd, dvd and cable box) are all hooked up via digital connections. cd and dvd will be audible in direct mode, only the cable box isn't. Is the reason this is happening because the cd and dvd player have some kind of processing that allows for a direct mode playback which the cable box lacks?

I would bet that playing a DVD will not allow direct mode, correct? Your cable box is probably outputting in Dolby Digital or some such, right? Or maybe not. I dunno...

I didn't think you could run direct with any digital inputs. You have to watch out because most receivers have silly names like "direct" vs. "pure direct". The HKs have "surround off" but the DSP stays on so it's not "really direct", and you can only turn the DSP off with an analog input.
Then again, turning the DSP off when you have digital inputs is a bit of a waste of time anyways, at least assuming that the DSP sample rate is the same as the digital input so you don't have to resample from (say) 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.

My cable box gives mixed signals. I sometimes get 5.1, especially commercials, but pure direct gives me nothing. Maybe it's looking for a stereo signal. The tuner works in pure direct.
