Another long-time BDP-83 user here with no problem whatsoever. Mine is connected to the receiver via a HDMI cable. I think your friend's reason for recommending the analog output from the player itself is bogus. I've just played a few DVD-A and BluRay high res. discs from Blue Coast Records in my setup without any issue.

The only reason that I can see using analog output from the player would be if you are using the player primarily for audio. I could see doing so ASSUMING that the DAC within the player is better than the one in your receiver.
