Thanks everyone for your input (on the video passthrough question)

Now, I'm 51% Denon and 49% Marantz 8002! Damn, I just went through this about a month ago, and here I am again. Good problem to have I suppose.

Zarak,
With HDMI, it's not so easy to separate the audio from the video. For example, HDMI may figure out that the TV is only capable of 2 channel audio. Changing/Not Changing the tv input isn't that big of a deal for me since I have an MX900 URC remote.
