Chris has it right, but I would disagree that it is too complicated. I had my TV set up this way so that Input 1 was through the audio system, but Input 2 was for use with the TV alone. It certainly increases the number of wires but you can use the component output to have HD on both inputs.

but I agree, always using the Home Theater is more simple to use, less expensive b/c you need less wires, and sounds a lot better.
