I am looking to buy into one of the new formats if a winner is ever declared, but I am very curious as to how these new HD audio tracks are going to be/are decoded with our current equipment....in other words, if I purchase an HD DVD or Blu ray deck now, can my current receiver decode the Dolby Digital Plus, HD DTS, Dolby TrueHD etc. soundtracks on the discs? From what I understand, the ANALOG outs of the HD DVD or Blu ray deck can be connected to the receiver's analog inputs, and the soundtracks can be transferred that way -- but can our current receivers actually DECODE the new formats on the discs? Dont we have to wait until receivers with decoding for Dolby Digital Plus and such are released? And what about digital audio connections as we use now from DVD players to receivers -- are these utilized in a connection from an HD DVD player to a receiver?
