I was about to order this receiver, but then I noticed it has HDMI 1.3a. But, my TV has HDMI 1.3b. I'm sure B is the newer version and backwards compatible with A and earlier, but what's the difference? Do I really want to get a different receiver that is 1.3b?

Q. What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or 1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.

For Adopters, the latest HDMI Specification is v1.3a and the latest HDMI Compliance Test Specification (CTS) is 1.3c.

I'm holding off for 1.3d
