Denon AVR 4806...HDMI question


I just purchased this receiver used.
I have heard that this Denon 4806 had HDMI board problems.
If my board is bad can this Denon receiver still be used for 2 channel and 5.1 without using the HDMI capability. ?
Also opinions on 4806 2 channel sound.
thanks

Yes I am certain of that.  Let your BD player do the lossless audio decoding for movies and send it analog(5.1, 7.1) to the Denon.  For stereo music, go digital(Coax RCA, optical/toslink) or just RCA analog from player to Denon.
