using non-hdmi home theater system with blue ray

I have a nice McIntosh multi-channel receiver and amp setup, but it is not HDMI ready. Can I simply use it for the audio portion of my home theater and run the HDMI directly from the blue ray player to my tv? Picture from blue ray; sound from McIntosh. Any problems with that configuration?

thanks in advance,

In fact, you may be getting a better picture with this configuration than those who run HDMI through an AVR first and then to the TV.

I have not had sync issues, but most AVR's enable you to correct sync anyway. (Assume a Mac multi-channel set up would also.)
