A:Answer Ok, I finally got a long enough HDMI cable to connect my receiver to the Thenaudio ZONE-2 Processor, and wow, it actually works -- I have audio output from the TV (via eARC port) playing on both my soundbar and receiver simultaneously! And neither audio sound stages seems to have any delay -- that is, no echo effects! I'll need to do more extensive testing with various video streams, but so far, I'm very impressed!
