just purchased a new hdtv (was using an old sony triniton for daily tv then my hd projector for movie watching).

i have a question for wiring things up.

i will simplify the set up to make the query clear. I have:
- hdtv
- hd cable box
- home theater in a box (receiver)
- All connections to be done using hdmi cables

i want to connect my cable box to my tv, such that i can CHOOSE if i want to use the audio from the tv itself, or my home theater in a box surround sound system.

my initial thought was to connect cable box to my receiver, to my tv. My only concerns with this are:
1) does that mean i have to listen to the audio thru the surround sound every time??

2) does that mean i have to turn my surround sound receiver everytime i want to watch tv??

Thanks in advance for the help.
