I just bought the Onkyo TX-SR605 and the ONKYO SKS-HT240 Home Theater Speaker set for 6.1. I have an older rear projection Panasonic 1080i with no HDMI capabilities. I am planning on buying either an HD DVD player or Blu Ray player and I have several questions that I can't find answers to.
1. Can I hookup the Bluray player to the AVR so that it can decode True HD and the other new audio formats and hook up the video with componet cables to the TV at the same time?
2. For a DVD player or the AVR to upconvert does the signal have to go through HDMI as well or will it upconvert froma regular DVD player via compnet?
3. Is there that big of a difference from 1080i to using 1080p and HDMI that I should go buy a new TV?
Thanks for any insight you may have and Merry Christmas.
