Yes, it will but why would you buy an HD DVD player when Toshiba has stopped all R&D and is closing their Japanese HD DVD factory, Blu-ray seems to have won the war, buying into HD DVD right now seems futile.
Optical input for Denon 1803 receiver???
Looking for a new HD DVD player ... undecided as of yet. Advice appreciated. Not so sure PS3 the way to go. If I run an HDMI directly to my Sony Bravia for video, will running optical for audio to the receiver give me all I need????? Perhaps not HD DTS, but dolby digital should work fine on my 5.1 system, should it not????
