I'm new to the forum and to hi-def audio. I would like to obtain hi-def 5.1 surround sound. The AVR 3802 Denon does not have a HDMI connection. The Sony BD player does. Has anyone used one of those de-embedders to convert the digital signal from the Sony HDMI output to 5.1 channel analog? The Denon AVR 3802 has Multichannel capability. I'm not interested in buying a new ACR device, and I don't want to change BD players.

Sorry, I meant buy a new AVR device.

Just connect an optical cable from the BDP to the AVR and call it a day. You're not likely to notice much difference.
