If you were intending to hook the source player's 5.1/7.1 analog outputs to the Denon's 7.1 analog inputs, that would be essentially what I'm doing in my system since I don't support HDMI audio. With the right player, you would then be able to play all the lossless audio tracks available on HD movies.
Of course, if you are also using the Denon's 8 channel input for your SACD and/or DVDA player, you are SOL. Unless you decide to be like me and invest in a switcher for switching multiple multichannel analog signal sets.
Follow Ups:
Something tells me this would be a no go since that would be my only option with my available equipment and something like the Sony 300 BD player. I think I would need an HDMI connection also to the display to get lossless from the audio outputs.The PS3 isn't going to work with a component connection for video and HDMI for audio to get lossless tracks. I would also need an HDMI connection to the display.
That's what I'm doing except inserting an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. You would only need the HDMI to pass digital audio.
Eventually I'll wind up with a video switcher of some kind. I'll have multiple (TBD?) HDMI sources feeding two displays (current one DVI and one probable HDMI. And it might be built into whatever pre/pro I elect to prochure.
Can't do it currently. My present display which is a Tosh 50" HDTV ready RPTV can only go 1080i and only component connection is available.
I think there are more folks than one may think at this point that are only running component for the video and perhaps only optical for the audio also.
If I can get lossless using the analog connections and run component for the video then I'll be getting a player this weekend, probably the Sony 300.
The PS3 only gives me the audio through optical at this point and I want more than those audio tracks if I'm going to take the plunge.
There is a video cable adapter currently available for around $200 that allows converting your component inputs on one's display to an HDMI input. But that is even more cash I'd have to lay out. I know I'll be stuck not being able to upconvert SD DVDs staying only with component but so long as I can watch those in 480p, I'm OK with that.
Had my friend try it this morning as I remembered on the audio settings for the PS3 on the menu one can able that option. When he tried it using video 1 optical on his Sony amp, it came back reading "PCM 48" on the readout screen when he first started playing "The Prestige".
It is just something else I can try on my Denon 3803 when I get a player. I doubt it is the best option per se but it is fun messing with this stuff! :)
I really haven't been doing SACD MCH with the Denon lately. It is just much better using my Rogue tube pre amps for 2 channel and enjoying SACD that way. That frees up my audio analog inputs for BD!
Separate MC SACD (actually Universal) SACD player plus a separate 2-channel modded 777ES SACD player feeding a battery powered tubed preamp (I have to swap out connections (preamp to the amp) though for stereo listening).
Now to figure out how I'm going to acquire five (5) 1000W tubed monoblocks for HT. Though that will probably be "easier" to get then that uber-Universal, full-featured player with 7.1 true balanced analog outputs, SOTA DACs and TrueHD/DTS HD MA decoding.
