You can if your receiver offers video pass-thru. You'll have to check the specs for that receiver.

It's more common to pass-thru audio from the TV set, as almost all TVs offer that option. Also, ATV3 offers separate HDMI and audio outputs.

Yes you can use any of those ports, although 'media player' sounds like the most obvious nomenclature to me.
