Most of the followup posts address ripping the Blu-ray to the harddrive to play. I was asking the question regarding a regular set top blu-ray player. If my receiver just passes the HDMI audio signal along to the HDTV, how do I connect the audio from the blu-ray player to the receiver?
More of a thought question since I do use my computer. Some of these gyrations sound more difficult than what you get out of them! Personally, I use AnydvdHD to play blu-ray discs.
