Hi everybody 
I am so late to the flat panel party but I will be moving on from my Panasonic Tsunami CRT by picking up both a Samsung 55" MU7000 UHD tv and Samsung UBD-K8500 UHD blu-ray player this coming weekend.
I am trying to work out if I can run audio through the HDMI audio out jack on the UBD-K8500 through my now 12 year old Sony HT-DDW1500 receiver which does have HDMI inputs which reads "DVD IN" and "VIDEO 2". There is also a "MONITOR OUT" HDMI port on the receiver.
My technical knowledge is extremely limited so perhaps there's a better option I could explore for sound aside from using HDMI?
I do understand that the older sound codecs on my receiver will not realize optimal sound but it will be my only option aside from the tv speakers for now
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Thanks everybody
