Toka is correct. And since you haven't committed to a Blu-Ray player yet, make darn sure the player you get will internally decode both hirez BD codecs (Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio, known as DTS HD MA). They are capable of 24/192 7.1 surround and are truly outstanding audio, but if your player doesn't decode them internally and instead sends them via "bitstream" to a processor for decoding your SP2 will only be left to downsample them signficantly via coax or optical into a lossy Dolby Digital kind of result. not the end of the world, but not hirez at all. Instead, choose a BD player that decodes internally and sends the wonderful 24/192 audio as analog hirez surround via 6 or 8 RCA cables to the SP2. Then later, when you buy an SP3 (or whatever) you'll have a BD player that can do either and a processor that can accept either. You'll eventually likely jettison the 6 or 8 analog cables regardless...cuz in your future setup, whether you choose decoded or un-decoded signal, it will come across digitally via HDMI.
