"The digital signal for sound is still fed to the receiver."

Do you mean that the digital signal is fed to the receiver via the HDMI cable, or via the separate digital audio cable (either coax or optical)? (Or perhaps via several analog PCM RCA cables?)

In other words, can you pass compressed digital audio via the HDMI cable and the receiver will decode it? If so, then does the receiver decompress the high-def audio formats on high-def DVDs?

HDMI 1.3 is *not* necessary for sound/1080p video. It's needed for decoding some of the newer audio formats in the receiver, but that's not necessary if your Blu-ray/HD-DVD player has the decoders for those formats, you just decode in the player instead.]]>Mar 1st 2007 8:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/27/sony-announces-four-new-hd-ready-receivers/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/27/sony-announces-four-new-hd-ready-receivers/
I need to buy a receiver (that suports full HD, if possible that also upscale the DVD from PS3 and my Cable TV Box), that supports LinearPCM 5.1 from PS3.

I really need some help, what should I buy, is there a receiver that really, really does that?

PS. I need also some regular/good speakers 5.1 for that set. HELP ME! Is the Kef 5.1 set good?
