Keep in mind no current HD DVD or Blu-ray players offer pass through of the new codecs to a receiver/processor for processing.

I currently have a Toshiba HD-A1 HD DVD player and Dolby Plus and TrueHD rock via 5.1 analog. smile

Also let's keep in mind Dolby Plus/TrueHD, DTS-HD/HD Master Audio, and PCM aren't "Blu-ray" audio formats, they're "Blu-ray and HD DVD" audio formats. wink
