Why would you run video through a processor?

How could a processor do anything but degrade your picture. Why not run the HDMI cable straight into the TV?

IF you don't run HDMI through your processor you will never get the uncompressed codec of DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, and if you haven't heard them, then you just simply don't know what your missing.

They have to pass over HDMI or via 7.1 analog connectors. If you are running your gear this way you have never heard DTS HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD.
