"How will the player control the volume? I didn't know Sony was putting variable line outs on their Blu-ray players."
You may be right. I had assumed that, if the remote had volume buttons, it would affect the analog outs. OTOH, I never tried it (except on some old CD players).
"By running a Line Out (Tape out, etc) from the receiver to the TV, the TV can get the sound from the receiver for those times where the "big" speakers aren't needed (like watching the news). "
Mebbe. If he has to power up the receiver, he might as well use the speakers.

Many player remotes have these, but they usually control a few functions of the same brand (or multi-brand, if it's a better remote) TVs or receivers. The remote that came with my Panasonic BD-35 Blu-ray player has both volume and channel buttons for a TV and volume buttons for a receiver.
My "watching the news" comment was a brain fart. Please excuse me.
To completely control the volume with a remote. Obviously, the Marantz has no remote...I've been there with a remote that mutes the TV speakers but I have to manually mute the big speakers with the receiver VC. Not an issue with movies, just for commercials. Hopefully the blue ray can control it all.
Meanwhile, I've decided to move my audio rack 5' closer to the TV/blue ray/speaker area. Should improve everything and cost less to connect...
thanks again
