As of July 2009, I own more movies in High-Definition than in Standard-Definition.

Assuming there is a player that does internally decode the advanced audio codecs (whatever that means), how will this be transmitted to the receiver? Via the digital output? Analog outputs? Or is an HDMI port required? My current receiver has 5 analog inputs, which I use for SACD. However, it has no HDMI port. |

It's not Profile 1.1, so if you want PIP and the other 1.1 features (I'm not interested in them myself), then your only choices for the time being are the Panny or PS3.
