Radio while watching TV

[admin_exported]

I sometimes listen to radio on an old HiFi system while
watching TV.

I am now considering putting together a Home Cinema system to
serve as an entertainment centre, therefore being able to eliminate the HiFi
system.

Will I still be able to listen to radio while watching TV on
a Home Cinema system? It was suggested to me that I would not be able to do
this on the receiver. A way of doing
this would be if I connect a Blu-Ray player using an optical lead, then I could
listen to radio on the internet through the Blu-Ray player.

Being a Home Cinema novice, I am not sure just what is
possible and how to achieve it. Can someone please advise?

The system I am considering is: Yamaha RXV671 receiver, Q
Acoustics 2000 5.1 speaker package, Sony BDP-S380 or 580 Blu-Ray player. This
would cost approx £1050 - £1100. (an alternative receiver is Marantz NR1602 and alternative speakers Q
Acoustics Q7000 or Kef KHT2005)

Is this a good starter system for my requirements, or are there
adequate alternatives out there for less
money?

Yes you can watch the tv while listening to the radio, just put the tv on as normal then select radio on your amp, job done.
