I agree, i thought if i'll post stuff like "It is good because we don't need to keep the AVR on while watching TV" i would sound like someone who doesn't want to use the AVR while watching TV = why did he buy the AVR etc in the first place? I realize that not every time will everyone keep the AVR on to watch TV as some people don't like vroom/boom boom so HDMI pass through is definitely a good feature specially if avr is connected to to watch broadcast tv.
No. There are a lot of advantages. First, you don't have to switch on AVR and that saves power. Second, it is not just saving cables. Even if you had extra cables how would you connect with limited set of hdmi ports? Third, less cables means less clutter.
