This is just a quick guide to a tricky problem on this A/V Receiver.
If you want to get BOTH audio sources for the same video, you have to be careful, but there IS a way to do it. I have read posts on the interwebs stating it is NOT possible, but it IS!
This is primarily for those using HDMI inputs and wanting optical audio sources as the same time. Read ahead...

If you are reading this, then you either are wanting to know how to do this, or wondering why.
I recently upgraded to this receiver, and had some audio problems. The audio quality itself was great, but my ability to specify the channels I wanted for the video were difficult.
The manual was little help.
I have 2 HDMI A/V sources I wanted, and I wanted both audio (HDMI and optical) sources from each.
Why?
1 audio source (U-verse) did NOT send surround sound audio through the HDMI cable to the receiver (cable box), and 1 audio source (PS3) will send LMCP (7.1 SS) but not everything else I wanted. Most of what I wanted was audio from the optical cable which the receiver can decode into DolbyDigital.
So, the problem with this receiver is that I wanted the video interconnections to go through HDMI (routed to the TV), but most of the audio has to go through your optic ports, AND I wanted the option to select either audio source.
NOTE: As I was writting this up, U-Verse updated their firmware for my local (first local to get it), so HDMI is passing DD SS.
