Do I Have This All Set Up Right: Panasonic '10A to Onkyo '605...?

But I was wondering if THAT secret menu needed to be adjusted for HDMI IN/OUT on the 605...

Essentially, does just leaving the 605 on HDMI MONITOR: YES pass any video from HDMI IN to HDMI OUT on the receiver?

Ok, I started looking into and messing with the secret menu tonight. It only affects analog connections from what I can see. Sharpness, Hue, etc are all only tweaking that. It can also force a 720p resolution from some analog sources. Basically this menu doesn't have anything to do with the incoming HDMI connection.

I have most of my connections going directly to the TV for video since I like having separate settings for all of them. The Wii, 360, and PS3 all need tweaked differently. If I had a cable box or DVR I'd probably plug it right into the receiver. Basically my receiver is audio only with the exception of the PS3.

It's a good menu to have awareness of but it does little to nothing for most things. Leave it be and enjoy the movies.
