 If the player decodes the advanced audio codec then all you need is HDMI 1.1 to transport the decoded to multichannel linear PCM to the AVR. Most all HD DVD discs use Advanced Authoring which requires the player to decode so the button sounds and commentary audio can be mixed in. With this case the HDMI 1.3 capability to transport raw bitstream of the new audio codecs does not help or do anything. |
Yes, you are right in the case of HD DVD, but not bluray. Secondly I don't really want my audio transcoded from one format to another. This combo player does not support Dts-HDMA being offered on Fox's bluray movies, which makes it useless to me.
