Best Buy finaly delivered my panasonic 54v10 last week ( Only took 2 months) I also purchased a Denon 3310 from 6th ave

I have spent the last 2 nights hooking it all up I am not familiar with the new technology. All my other equimpent is 14 years old. So this new Denon reciever is a little intimidating

My question is this?? Is there any way to set it up so I get cable tv & sound directly from the tv with out turning on the reciever

I have it set up with the hdmi going from cable box to reciever to tv

Thank you

Larry
