Background video - listen/watch different sources


I'm about to invest in new home theater components and something that would be very important to me is to be able to watch one video source on my television while listening to music from another source from the same receiver and set of speakers. Here's the specific example I'd like to accomplish: mute the football game and listen to a record. Now obviously I only want to purchase one set of speakers that can be used when watching movies or TV or when listening to my turntable or other audio source. This means I don't want to set up a "zone 2" of speakers there in the same room because that would necessitate (as I understand it) a complete second set of speakers. Someone suggested I plug the HDMI from the satellite straight into the back of the television which then means I can't use these speakers to listen any audio from the television programs I may watch (unless I manually switch the cable back and forth, which I don't see as viable).

I have been told (from Yamaha support) that this would be called "Background Video" and that it as a functionality has disappeared from receivers with the prevalence of using HDMI connections to/from receivers.

Obviously I've googled and read reviews and so on, but I cannot find a receiver that can make this happen in my home theater. Do any of you dear forum readers know of such a receiver or likely brand? Or perhaps is there another way to accomplish this other than manually switching cables around or using zone 2 functionality and needing another set of speakers? I would GREATLY appreciate any guidance, thank you.

I appreciate the help, but I'm confused because Yamaha customer support has told me on two separate occasions (when the question was asked two different ways) that their current line of receivers are incapable of doing such a thing. I understand the others may allow it, but that confuses me that they have said "can't be done on our's." I think I'll have to investigate a lot further to find out what the reality is before buying something.

Thanks for the info. Are there any specific makes and models you would recommend for this scenario?
I would connect HDMI from cable directly to TV, than audio output from TV to one of the AUX inputs on your preamp/receiver if it doesn't have a dedicated TV audio input. Mute the TV internal speakers and select audio source with your preamp/receiver.
My Denon AVR3803 has a button on the face that does it. Not sure whether the remote has it or not. I've used it occasionaly.
Zoya and Chadnliz are correct. Any Yamaha can also accomplish this. I run hdmi direct from cable box to tv, run the audio through digital out to Yamaha...When you want to watch the game just select CD,Phono, whatever your music source is and lower the tv volume thats it....Video from tv and music from your home theater...I think your question to Yamaha wasn't understood correctly.. I've been doing it while watching the Big East Tournament.

I didnt realize some now dont allow you to select cetain video and certain audio modes in any manner you wish. Chaulk up another step backwards thanks to HDMI.
