Hdmi

Tv is connected to receiver hdmi and other things are to, But while watching tv, i want to listen to music. Once i switch to tuner or cd player, tv signal is gone. Also when i turn off the receiver i can't watch tv unless the receiver is on. I though it was a way to still watch my tv thru hdmi from receiver. Pleaseeeeeee assist me, i have been trying for days now.  Thank you soooo much. I have the VSX- 821-K

If you have two devices with rca jacks and two devices with component jacks can they be used with this receiver.

There might be a conflict with the HDMI connections of your devices. Make sure that the cable connections are compatible to each other and they are working to make sure that the connection will run smoothly.
