If it's broadcast TV then the signal is going into the TV first. So you'll want to connect the TV out to the receiver in, and if you need to use analog or coax/optical then that's the only connection you'll be using for your TV watching. Just make sure that you have selected the proper input on the receiver in order to get the sound from the TV.
That HDMI connection from the receiver's out to the TV's in will only be used when you are feeding a signal to the receiver first and then to the TV, such as when you have your laptop connected to the receiver.
Hopefully that will take care of the problem, but just let me know if it doesn't, thanks!
