Just set up my home theater. Surprisingly I cannot keep the cable music on
without keeping the TV monitor turned on.
Any way to avoid keeping the monitor on?
thx

Run another digital audio out from the cable box to another input on
your receiver. As long as the STB is on with the correct channel
selected and the receiver is set to the correct input, you will get
the audio. It may be a little tricky to see what channel is selected
though.
