Regarding the original question, there are some options. First, if you want to watch TV without the 990 in the picture you're going to want to either bypass the 990 entirely or use the second zone to feed a signal to the TV because presumably you're going to be doing this when the 990 is off. If you use zone 2, you will need to run analog audio and a composite or s-video cable to the 990 (the second zone is essentially independent from the rest of the processor, and it doesn't transcode between composite or s-video or convert digital audio inputs to analog. Personally, if I wanted to watch TV without the 990 I'd run from my source straight to the TV.
I thought about running from my source to my tv. The problem is I have only one cable box with only one set of component outputs. I can't have it going into the 990 and my tv unless I split the signal which I assume will degrade the picture quality.
I don't completely understand the zone 2. How does that work if the 990 is off? How does it determine which source (video and audio) to send out the zone 2 jacks?
