PS3 & Pioneer VSX-918V-K

[spyweb]

Hello there,

I am sorry if any of you will find this post also written in a different thread, but I was planning to go and buy my equipment today and I really seek for an answer.

I am new at this site and I am also very new to the Hi-def world.

I am planning to buy a PS3 and the pioneer VSX-918V-K receiver.
Will I be able to listen to the lossless LPCM signal even if the receiver dosen't decode Dolby THD or DTS-HD Master Audio?

The receiver has 2 hdmi A/V imputs, however, I still haven't figured out what hdmi version the pioneer supports.

I am sorry if this question was asked before, but I looked at different posts and I couldn't find a specific answer.

P.S. I have chosen this reciver exclusively for its price tag and for the hdmi imputs; however, any suggestions regarding a similar receiver within the same price range (< 300) are very very welocome (and strongly encouraged .)


Thank you very much for your help.
