I just purchased a refurb Onkyo TX-SR805. It's sweet and allows me to switch between my PS3 and cable (my HDTV is old and has just one HDMI input. I'll be upgrading soon
Anyway, I've been reading on here and other forums about the PS3 now decoding TrueHD and DTS-HD. I thought that was great until I heard that my receiver is suppose to do the decoding itself. Since the PS3 does this I won't get that sound replicated from my speakers, correct?
So what should I do? First off, do all Blu ray discs have TrueHD and DTS-HD audio tracks? Or is this just available on the latest discs coming out? The bigger question is should I sell the TX-SR085 and get another receiver that will put out TrueHD and the other audio formats from the PS3?
I just bought this a week ago and I can sell it for what I paid. If I should sell what brand/model should I look into? I didn't pay the $1000 sticker price since it was a refurb. So I can afford $600 max. I have only five speakers (a center and two front Polk speakers and two old Infinity's for the back surround & a Velodyne sub). I want a good receiver with multiple HDMI inputs so I can switch between my PS3 and cable & one that will be useful when I upgrade to a 42" 1080p Panasonic plasma within the year.
Sorry for the back story. Just wanted to give as much detail as possible so somoene can help me make a decision. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
