My AVR menus do not show up on my TV because I have all HDMI video connections. I would need to have a s-video or component connection to see the menus on my set. It is not much of a problem but I was wondering if my Marantz AVR was unique in this regard.

As Kal said, it depends. Depends on when your AVR was made, like in that HDMI transition time when most people would have been using component for high quality video.
I got stuck in this bind before too, except in the days when most were using S-video/composite: the AVR menus didn't come out over component.
By "most people" I don't mean us necessarily LOL, but the general public.
What I did was put a little macro in my remote. Still use a similar macro now for getting AVR menus while watching OTA TV; since that is internally generated by the built-in tuner, it doesn't use an "input" so external video (from AVR) doesn't display. Anyway, what the one-button macro does is split the screen and call up the AVR menu and show it in the little one. And another one-button macro undoes all that. So it's no more "tedious" than calling up the AVR menu, just takes a tad longer. Another way is to have the macro switch between TV inputs, in your case between the HDMI and component ones. Why I did it the way I mentioned is because I specifically want the OTA source program to be playing since mostly I am making audio settings changes with the AVR. I'm sure you can figure out similar that suits.
