list of receivers capable of accepting LPCM7.1 thru HDMI

Hello

Well my situation is now like this :

- I don't want to wait for hdmi1.3 receivers.....
- but I like to have LPCM7.1 thru HDMI so that receiver will at least last few years
- seems like we can get more titles with 7.1 next year....


from what I searched, here are my picks :

- Pioneer Elite 82TX
- Denon 2307ci
- Sony STR-DA5200ES (not sure with LPCM7.1)
- Onkyo 804 (LPCM5.1)
- Yamaha VX-R2700
- Panasonic XR700 (confirmed LPCM7.1)

please can anybody confirm if some of those are capable of accpeting LPCM7.1 thru hdmi ?

thanx in advance

I know the Yamaha HTR-6090 will do it; it's the receiver I have hooked up to my Blu-Ray player now. The RX-V1700/2700 are upgraded versions of this so they should both do it also.

LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) 7.1 is an uncompressed audio track that will be/is on HD-DVDs & Blu-Ray discs; basically better sound than other compressed audio tracks.

According to the people that really keep up with such things (here on the HTF and elsewhere), no studio has any plans yet to release anything using the 7.1 format. I'm not surprised since even right now there is only a minuscule amount of 6.1 titles on dvd. I guess the sound engineers figure a customer's receiver can come up with the extra two channels if so desired.

as Heresy mentioned, it is UNCOMPRESSED SOUND !!

before any hdmi1.3 receiver will come up, that is only chance how to hear TOP QUALITY SOUND !!

- PS3 is decoding INTERNALY - DD+ and DoblyTrueHD and will (in March) DTS-HD MASTER audio to LPCM, which is sent over HDMI (at least ver1.1) to receiver... and receiver should be ABLE to accept this up to 7.1 channel of uncompressed sound....

some receivers are doing this up to 5.1, but I would like to have up to 7.1, so my receiver will last few years......

and I don't want to wait now another 6 or more months for hdmi1.3 receiver

Yes....well kind of....the only title I have now that outputs 7 channels (according to the PS3 bitrate checker) is 'The Descent' but it is not a real 7.1 soundtrack; they seem to have split the rear surround of the 6.1 track to go to both rear surround as seperate channels (same audio from both speakers). So, it's not a real 7.1 soundtrack but it is playing in 7.1.

so PS3 is showing it's 7.1, does yamaha showing on display 7.1 signal ?
and thank you very much for INFO !!

so probably only other real 7.1 title is Ghost in the shell: innocence....
