Well for digital audio you're limited to coax/optical connections. Some people don't hear much difference with the new BD audio options. If your TV has HDMI connections, you may receive a better picture using them for video.

Ok thanks for the reply... but would this amp support the same audio formats as say a new amp with hdmi ... and is it worth the upgrade ?

You have 5.1 analog inputs on it, don't you?

My 2802 does. With those, if you buy a Blu-ray player with analog 5.1 audio outputs, you'll never be obsolete.

I you don't, well, then you'll still have DD/DTS to fall back on.

No, the receiver will not decode Dolby True-HD/DTS-Master Audio or accept multi-channel LPCM, that's decoded by the player, since they require HDMI connections.

Only you can decide if the upgrade would be worth it.
