It's digital audio out, which should support whatever format it was received in. That said, most television sets don't exactly have stunning sound systems built in to them, so it's not really a useful solution for a home theater.

If your receiver has an HDMI in.
My receiver is about 6 years old now, just when HDMI was becoming the Big New Thing and DRM kept it from working correctly 90% of the time anyhow.
Personally I think HDMI is more of a hassle than it's worth. Yes, you need it for HD video, but carrying the video and audio signal in the same cable just isn't that useful.

I just bought an HDMI capable receiver a few months ago.
It's the greatest thing ever. One single cable from each device cleans up the back of the stereo rack very nicely.

A better idea is to have your RX connect to your network and play it that way. If you cannot do that most BlueRay players have a USB slot now. Get an external drive and play your movies off of that.

I found using HDMI to connect your computer to your monitor/TV often resulted in fuzzy text. I just VGA the sucker in.

Because video goes to the TV and audio goes to the receiver. Combining them does not make anything more convenient for me. Quite the opposite when I need to make sure the HDMI audio is disabled to allow a different audio out to carry the signal.

HDMI can cut the amount of wiring you need in more than half, and in many cases gives higher quality.
My last receiver had no HDMI either, so i used optical. And then ran out of optical inputs so i used RCA's for the rest. All HDMI has been a huge improvement, even to the opticals, which need a perfect connection (wiring is very fragile and the slightest movement of them can cause a break in connection) to work well.

All sources go to receiver, 1 cable per source.
You have 1 more HDMI to connect receiver and TV
I don't see wheres the problem
