Someone told me I may be able to achieve what
I want by using a VCR as an intermediary. Any
ideas on that?
And that person stole my thunder.
Yup. Hook up the Channel 3 output of the VCR to the TV. When the VCR is on and VCR is chosen, the audio that comes out of the VCR to the A/V receiver will also be present on Channel 3 at the TV.
Two pains here:
VCRs vary; some come on in the VCR mode, some you have to push the TV/VCR button every time.
VCR Tuners do not have "Previous Channel."
For the record, some Sony TVs will do exactly what was suggested in one of the first answers. Some have variable audio out and fixed audio out jacks that are always on. You have to suggest this, then go look to see what your TV will do.
