Looking for the best PQ possible

[reyz]

okay, i figured this would be the best section to ask a question like this...

pardon me if it sounds stupid.


if i own a BD player that supports Deep Color via HDMI 1.3 and ALSO have a Plasma TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI 1.3, technically if I use a a/v receiver in between, does that player need to be Deep Color via HDMI 1.3 also? It doesn't matter whether its 24bit, 30bit or 36bit Deep Color right...

Let's say if it is Deep Color-compatible, has HDMI inputs and outputs but nowhere in sight does it say anything about HDMI 1.3 compatible then is it still compatible? (this is the case for the 2 receivers below that i'm looking to get)

also, even if a blu-ray player like the LG BD370 doesnt have x.v.Color for example but your a/v receiver has; then will whatever processing applied in the player and the receiver make it all the way to your HDTV so long as you have HDMI 1.3 cables plugged in (from your player to receiver to HDTV)?

Basically, to sum it up, what I want is, besides getting my lossless HD audio via a receiver/5.1 speaker setup,

also to maintain a full HD picture quality complete with Deep Color, x.v.Color and 1080p/24fps video processing quality standards that are applied (whether constantly throughout the components or merely just onboard either the player or the receiver) in the player->receiver->hdtv process regardless of whether you bitstream or decode onboard your HD audio formats to the receiver. as both audio and video are transmitted in a single HDMI cable, i'm worried as to whether any processing done by the receiver would affect the PQ. and if so, would it be better or worse.

besides the best SQ, i also want the best PQ possible, you see.

i've read somewhere that people have to get an additional hdmi 1.3a cable to plug in from their player to the hdtv because somehow or other their video quality is poorer when they send it through the receiver first via HDMI. problem is that most bd players only have 1 hdmi out so i certainly dont want to run into a similar problem!

potential bd players
LG BD370
-review says 1080p/24fps only possible if connected via HDMI to a 1080p/24fps compliant HDTV
-says it has Deep Color via HDMI 1.3 but only 12-bit BUT no x.v.Color
Sony BDP-S350
-says it has 1080p/24fps true cinema mode
-mentions x.v.Color processing but not Deep Color

potential a/v receivers
Yammy RX-V663
- says it has Deep Color (30/36 bit), the x.v.Color standard and 1080p/24Hz support
Pioneer VSX-919AH-K
- also says it has Deep Color and x.v.Color signal transfer, digital transfer of uncompressed video (contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24,
1080p/60, etc.))

with all the different processing standards, am really confused!
