And now that my audio processor decodes this verses the player, there’s even more ways to enjoy it. Now you had to go and tell us that
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Great info guys.
Unfortuntely I realized I cant return the receiver 1.2a HDMI..past the 30 days. I can always use the 6-7 cables and let the player decode it and check out DD TrueHD via the 7.1 input.
Thanks all.

If your player decodes it you should be able to send it to your receiver by HDMI via PCM. My receiver is HDMI 1.1 and I get the HD sound formats fine.

You can see the setup on my link below.
Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K
The HD player is up in the air but mostlikely a Toshiba HD player. Soon to get the Benq W500 projector.
Homedad: Are you actually getting Dolby TrueHD format or Dolby TrueHD format downmixed to DD/DTS? Your reciever might be playing the compressed DD/DTS track rather than the lossless Dolby TrueHD format. Im just guessing in these assumptions.

To get hi-res multi-channel audio through HDMI, you just need HDMI 1.1.

If the player decodes the formats, it will send them uncompressed as multi-channel PCM over HDMI. If you use coax or optical, then you are restricted to the core tracks.

If you use coax or optical, then you are restricted to the core tracks. but your receiver must be able to accept 7.1 channels over HDMI. If you are like me (Denon 2307 CI), you can only receive 6.1 over HDMI so you must use 7.1 ext in (with the player doing the decoding) to enjoy True HD or DTS HD.

There is no doubt I'm getting the HD sound formats, the difference is pretty profound when switching back and forth from non HD to HD. The receiver will show this as PCM rather than the usual screen of DTS or DD when connected by HDMI. I'm just a bit envious of the new receivers that will decode and give a few more fun options.
