Wouldn't the multi-channel sound better? Or no?

BD30 > HDMI > Receiver (set to bitstream = lossless)
Receiver > HDMI > tv

If the BD30 can do, which I don't know if it can or not, you could go
BD30 > Component > TV

in this case no, because the BD30 cannot internally decode TrueHd and DTSHD-MA. You can only get access to them through HDMI to a receiver that can decode it (the 605 can!!). PCM can be sent over HDMI no problem. you'll have access to all the HD codecs over HDMI, and much better sound.

By using multichannel with a BD30, you are only getting the PCM lossless track, everything else is plain old Dolby and DTS. Not the lossless variety...

stick with HDMI to the receiver and bitstream the info. You will not regret it!

Because the ps3 sends out the truehd sound through pcm, the 605 receiver will not display "truehd" on your receiver screen" it will say pcm multi channel.

I have my 605 about 3 months should it be okay. I have had no problems to date with DTS HD MA. Sounds great.

I am running a PS3 and the Panasonic BD 30K through it.
