It only goes to the receiver if he is doing the video switching through the receiver. The S-Video monitor out from the receiver would then go to the TV.

you should inform the viewer as to the setup of the digital select the installer needs to set the receiver to the appropriate digital input signal(optical 1) or if its the coax to (coax 1).
