what do i need for BD 3D?

[mike c]

of course a new display and player ..

what about the receiver? will my denon 3808 be able to do 3D?

what about HDMI cables? will my old HDMI cables work?

what version HDMI cables do i need?

I don't think the 3808 will do it; the receiver would need to support HDMI version 1.4. I don't believe the cabling needs to change.

Can older HDMI (v.1.0 - 1.3) devices be firmware-upgraded to take advantage of the new features introduced in HDMI 1.4?

Probably not. Most of the new features introduced in HDMI 1.4 will require a new HDMI chip to enable, and cannot be upgraded via firmware.

Will any of the new HDMI 1.4 features require a new cable?

The HDMI Ethernet Channel feature will require a new cable that supports this functionality, either a Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet or a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, depending on the maximum resolution to be supported. The Automotive Connection System will also employ a new class of cable, the Standard Automotive HDMI cable, which is designed specifically for automotive use. All of the other new HDMI 1.4 features will be compatible with the existing categories of cables.

An Oppo Seriously though, the oppos have dual hdmi outs so if your receiver doesn't support it, you can pass the audio via one to the receiver and video directly to the display.

That's pretty sweet.
