I want to be able to set up my home theater system so that I can watch
television while listening to either the tuner or using my DVD player
to play music.

Basically, I am asking for a way to seperate the audio feed from the
video feed. I want to manually control both the video and the audio. I
want to be able to select the video source without affecting the audio
source. If anyone has any ideas or has done this themselves, I would
appreciate the advice.

If your Denon is like my Marantz SR-4200, the video output will route
the last selected input *with video*, so if I select a video-enabled
input (A), then an audio-only input (B), I get the video from A and the
audio from B.

Run two digital lines from the DVD to the Denon - either optical and
co-ax or co-ax with splitter. Connect one to the DVD input and one to
the CD input (which presumably does not have a corresponding video
input?). When listening to music as opposed to DVD, select the TV input
first to route the video, then use the CD input to route the audio.
