Typically, there is no point going from a receiver to a TV. The main goal is to make all sources to go into the receiver to the speakers. You generally don't want bypass wiring either, It just degrades the signal. But with HDMI, bypass is going to be a necessary evil, due to only having a single output for each device. Also, not everyone owns a modern receiver, so HDMI for everything is not always an option. So, it's more of a question of what you have to work with, than anything else.
As for the necessary bypass setup of HDMI... I doubt it matters which you bypass through. Whether the HDMI goes through the reciever first or the HDTV.... But again you're limited to whether or not the HDTV or the reciever has a bypass system in place, so you may not have an option of choosing which way to go.
since more tv's are likely to have multi hdmi in's instead of outs besides most receiver nowadays have multi hdmi ins as well for cable/games/pc/etc, much easier on the hookup since its much easier to maneuver a receiver than a tv. besides it just makes more sense. slvrraven9
Well, it makes more sense to me that a PS3 would be closer to the TV, than to the Receiver. Thus wherever the TV goes, the PS3 goes.... Also, would make a lot more sense to me to have to only deal with one cable from the TV to the Receiver, than have to deal with mulitple cables between the reciever to a PS3/TV combination. But it all depends on where your PS3 is resting at. My PS3 rests under my TV.... Bet your PS3 is in some cabinet with the Reciever. Although.... Receivers do tend to heat up pretty good. If they are sharing the same enclosed space, such a placement wouldn't be a good idea....
