One point of a receiver is to send sound to multiple speakers. You're correct on that. However, what sound gets sent where depends not only on the receiver but the signal source as well.

Many times this TV audio out is not the full bandwidth / not DTS / DD5.1 etc. I'd be concerned about that. Glad to hear you saved yourself $300 though!

"You do not need to get HDTV to go with your new TV. OR Bluray either!"
