Default Receiver - which one to choose?

Hi guys,

I'm kinda new to this HD things and not really technically advanced and may seem to most of you pretty dumb, but recently I got ready to go for Blu Ray. After digging into the subject I found out that BLU RAY AUDIO have 4 formats - Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS-HD Master Audio. And because BR discs come in all four formats, you gotta have either a BR-player which reads all 4 formats either a receiver which reads them all (sorry if I simplified it a lot) to be fully equipped. Now I looked for a player and found none in my price group (about 400-500 bucks), which can decode all four, so I started looking for receivers in the same price category, and found 2 of them - Onkyo TX-SR805 and Yamaha RX-V663, which both decode all 4 audio formats. So basically, my question is: I buy either of them, I buy a budget BR player not really caring what formats it decode and I don't have to worry about HD sound anymore? Am I right? Sorry, if I really simplified it all and if you are tired of questions like this. And one more thing: what other things I should worry about making my BR home theatre? Except the HD-TV of course.

Thanks in advance!
