I've read about HDMI V1.3 and compatibility with lower versions on this forum, but I'm still a little confused.
I'm considering upgrading to the gear below and I want to make sure I understand.
If I get ...
46" Sony Bravia XBR4 LCD HDTV (HDMI V1.3 capable)
Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray disk player (HDMI V1.3)
Per Sony marketing literature "Simply by connecting your Blu-ray Disc player to the HDMI connection on your A/V Receiver, the BDP-S500 can either output or internally decode Dolby TrueHD & dts-HD. - Dolby TrueHD delivers lossless studio master quality audio designed specifically for high definition entertainment like Blu-ray Disc movies."
Rotel RSP-1069 Surround Processor/Pre-Amp (HDMI V1.1)
Will I still get all of the benefits of HDMI V1.3 features with this setup ?
Will the Sony BDP-S500 process the HDMI V1.3 features and send them to the Rotel processor ? Will the Rotel processor be able to understand all of the HDMI V1.3 info or will some signals be ignored ?
