The rest is fed from the rack on the right to the set for HDMI and 4x analog players and the optical audio to a Panasonic surround. All audio can come through the HF-4.

Why are you using a wire antenna for AM? I didn't think anyone used such antennas anymore, except of course for amateur radio. (Living in an apartment building, I couldn't erect any kind of outdoor radio or TV antenna even if I wanted to.) With all the 50,000-watt AM stations in this country, I didn't think such an antenna was necessary for reception on this band unless one was in a very, very poor signal area. I don't know exactly where you are in Pennsylvania (I am guessing Pittsburgh), but wherever you are, again, you must be getting at least several 50kW AM stations. I gave up listening to AM radio years ago, when most stations went to talk/sports and all but gave up on music programming.
