New Rotel DVD player RDV-1092 question

[spkerguy]

I have a question for everyone out there. I came across this link that announced the new DVD player that will be announced shortly (http://www.ultimateavmag.com/news/090905cedia02) It states that "The RDV-1092 is Rotel's newest DVD, DVD-Audio, and CD player ($1800, January). It will also scale up to 1080p from its HDMI output." My question for everyone is can I still use my processor (which doesn't have HDMI) for sound while using this new DVD player and an HDTV with HDMI and get 1080p? I know HDMI carries audio and video but was wondering if it could just carry the video signal while I used a coaxial digital out to my processor for sound.

Thanks,

Ken

Yep, it will output the audio through the optical or coaxial connection as well as through the HDMI connection.
