The advanced audio codecs (DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD) either have to be decoded in the player and output as analog or PCM via HDMI or sent as bitstream via HDMI to a receiver that can decode them. They cannot be sent (full resolution) via coax/optical. The same goes for multi-channel PCM -- it won't fit over coax/optical.
Blu-ray players also play DVDs and all but 2, the first Sony and first Pioneer, play CDs.
