Looking for any folks out there that have given this Blue Ray a try, and I'm curious if this will send a signal to my receiver with the various HD audio formats. The salesman at ABT electronics informed me that the unit decodes internally and will interact with my Elite receiver and set it to default via the HDMI cable. If that's the case Ill feel like I "skinned the cat" keeping my current Elite VSX 74TXvi receiver along with my 59avi DVD for SACD and DVD audio as well as superb DVD up-scaling.

So after reading Kals monthly Stereophile article " in the round " and the obvious high marks do any of you folks that have tried this unit feel it delivers the goods and will it pass this signal via HDMI through my system as the gentleman at ABT stated.

ETA on my player is sometime tomorrow via UPS, so its a done deal just hoping for any input.

Thank You, to any responders in advance, its truly appreciated!

Regards,
