Hi all!
I got everything hooked up. Yamaha 7.2 RX-V665, Time-Warner DVR, Samsung HDTV, Speakers are HSU 6.1 Performance 2, and everything sounds good so far.
I do have a question about the way everything powers on.

I programmed all three remotes together, but when I turn on the system, I first power on the TW-Cable, then Power on the Yamaha and press HDMI 2 on the Yamaha remote which is actually the DVR, which I programmed the text) Then I turn on the Samsung HDTV Power on the remote.
I notice the Yamaha AVR powers up, and shows ?DVR? when I press the HDMI-2, then it automatically switches back to AV1. Then I have to re-press the HDMI-2 again. Why does this do this? Anyone knows?
I know it?s not the end of the world, but the less buttons to push, the better.

_______________________________________________
Side note -
Normally I listen to the ?Dolby Digital? mode when viewing normal TV Broadcasts, and it comes out of all the 6.1 speakers, and I know I need to look over the manual as far as how many different ?SURROUND MODES? are when viewing a Blu-Ray. But it seems I?m missing a few modes and might have to go back into the set up for the speakers. During the Blu-Ray playback, the sound does sound good, but maybe needs to be fuller. I have a SonyBD350? Do I have to set up the surround modes or anything on the Sony BD like the Samsung Blu-Ray player?
I have done the speaker config. setup, and it all sounds balanced.

Logitech Harmony remote. Stat.

We use a Yamaha RX-V2700 right now and I know it was also somewhat quirky with things like that at first. I know my roommate ended up calling Yamaha tech support for some oddities like that. Give them a buzz - he said they were really friendly and knowledgable.

Best of luck,
