Does a bluray counts as a receiver ?

[Worldtraveler]

Well i have read an article on how to use DTS HD or Dolby True Hd sound from the GPU, in my case the gtx 970. The thing is that in the tutorial he used a receiver to connect the gpu and monitor, i have a phillips htb5520 and i think it can decode DTS and Dolby so my question is if the bluray player counts as the receiver to connect my monitor and the gpu to get the 5.1 lossles audio codec?. Sorry for my bad English

The main unit of your HT system is a receiver of sorts. The problem is that it doesn't have an actual HDMI input that you can connect to the PC. It has an HDMI output with ARC but that won't work for you as an input. The optical and coax digital inputs will only support lossy 5.1 audio codecs. A shame since it does support 5.1 lossless audio when used with the built in BD player.
