A solution

The film industry forced Blu-ray player manufacturers to eliminate analog audio outputs for anti-piracy reasons beginning with the 2013 models. You can thus look for a leftover 2012 or earlier player that has analog audio outputs, such as the excellent Panasonic DMP-BDT320, which has stereo analog outputs and wi-fi streaming.

For our master-bedroom system, which utilizes a Panasonic 50" plasma TV, a stereo receiver, and a Panasonic DMP-BDT320 player, I picked up a refurbished 320 last year from an Amazon Markeplace dealer as a backup. It looks and performs like a brand-new unit. (We also use one in our dedicated theater room, via its HDMI video and audio outputs.)

Today I see Amazon has a refurbished 320 for only $69 with free shipping (see link below). If you verify the player comes with a defective return policy (refund or exchange), you're good to go.
