I even had problems using my 'AV' DVD (blueray) player to play my CDs. Constantly switched back to the 'tv', and every time I skip on the cd or move to a different title (AV DVD player connected via HDMI to receiver, and receiver to TV).
So I added my Marantz DVD player, connected to receriver via 'digital coax' cable. At leat that works now for playing DVD.
I guess i could use a very LONG usb c to HDMI cable to use my laptop.
Or find a cable TV channel that plays music in decent quality (no idea why they don't ALL do that, considering that even TV ads and talk shows are presented in high resolution).
