I am planning on buying a Panasonic BD 50 but am confused about the 7.1 Dolby TureHD conversion.

I have read that fiber optic audio can only support 5.1 audio and that Dolby TureHD is only available through the HDMI output. I was going to connect the BD 50 HDMI output to my TV and connect the component audio output of the BD 50 to the component audio input of the 990.

If I hook the BD 50 up this way will I lose the Dolby TrueHD sound? Can someone please recommend a better way to hook up the BD 50 player if my thinking is wrong? I would like to make sure I have the cables needed when the BD 50 is available locally.

Thanks again for all your help.
