the 505 does not process hdmi audio.

Its passthrough only...meaning you would need optical cable. Don't waste your money.

If price is a concern, look at the Sony STR-DG810 ($270)

It is 5.1 PCM capable.

After perusing the forums for a while, had a feeling YOU would have my answer.

With everything else I've been buying lately for my toys, I need to cut cost wherever I can these days, or feel my wife's wrath.

You're awesome. Thanks, mate.

My next questions were going to be if anyone could suggest a price-effective receiver that was HDMI-capable that would let me get it all (excepting DTS-HD).
