Jason it was my understanding that if the AVR does not have an HDMI input it would not decode the formats, whenever I choose TrueHD for audio on a Blu-Ray disc it defaults the H/K to Dolby Digital which doesn't sound any different than a standard disc in DD.

To be honest, I can't tell if it's decoding the signal or not, I do not believe so though.
