It's just an extra -- annoying! -- step.

I feel for you man. I should've double-checked the components I was responding about before offering advice.
No worries. I'm not sure if I ever specified which one I decided on.

So if I upgrade to THIS ONE, will I have the same problems? Or will this receiver carry both HDMI audio AND video signals and pass sound through my speaker system?
