It's only important if you have multiple hdmi sources you want to switch between (e.g., dvd and cable box). Otherwise, just run it directly to your tv.Brad- Bottom

Originally posted by TedI don't have HDMI, but I've often wondered, if you run the HDMI cable which carries both audio and video directly to your TV, will the source (such as a DVD player) still have output through say a coax so you can run the sound to your receiver or PRE/PRO? I would assume so, but am not sure.

I was wondering if RSX-1057 does process the video through its HDMI input, or simply is used as a functional, pass-through device (for video) to create the possibility of using multiple HD devices through a single HDMI input on the TV panel. Is that the case? I mean, would the HD signal from my PS3 blu-ray go un-processed through a 1057 to a 1080p tv? This would be very useful if the TV is mounted on wall, so that a single HDMI cable is run inside wall from the receiver to the TV.- Bottom

Thank you Kevin, your help is always appreciated. I have two "observations", and pardon me if they sound too naive:
1 - Even though 1057 is only passthrough, doesn't video quality diminishes from going through the receiver prior to reaching the display?
2 - Can't we just use external HDMI switches with existing non-HDMI receivers, or are the results not as good?
Could you please recommend an online source I can read stuff on HDMI, since a google search turns out many confusing, and probably not so accurate materials?- Bottom

I have heard that you want to keep video as far away as possible from audio in a processor, but wont if that different when it comes to digital.- Bottom

Ditto what Vancouver said. An external switcher has more options, but another remote.
For HDMI info, I would start at the source: http://www.hdmi.org/
