"The player remote will control the volume from the player but the Marantz VC will also control all the inputs."
How will the player control the volume? I didn't know Sony was putting variable line outs on their Blu-ray players.
In my setup, the highest quality source -- the player's line out -- goes straight to the receiver (no middle-man). The receiver then controls the volume to the speakers: that's the highest quality connection to them (rather than the TV) with the components listed. 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).
