6 Channel Audio Inputs

[mtrycrafts]

So the difference between HDMI 1.3 (which iirc handles video and audio, which then gives you True HD) and analog (which iirc is the 6 channel sound) is that one is digital and one is analog, but both give you the True HD sound quality? When asking about the difference in sound quality of digital vs. analog, is it analogous to the difference in HD video quality of component vs. dvi/hdmi? Or is there actually a noticeable difference in audio?

As seth indicated, the digital audio on the disc will be converted to analog audio before it is amplified by the receiver and sent to the speakers. So, in one case the processor in the receiver is doing the conversion but this option for you would require an expenditure for a new receiver. If you let the hi def DVD player do the conversion, no expenditure is needed and you have the same analog signal going to the speakers anyhow.
