Chris, yes you are if your HDMI connection on the 575 processes audio as well as video. Regardless of whether the decoding takes place in the player or in the receiver it has to be decoded into PCM, which is the fundamental digital audio format. So, for example, it starts out on the disc as Dolby TrueHD, the player decodes it to PCM and your 575 receives it and converts it to analog form for amplification. Whatever quality may or may not be present in the Dolby TrueHD will be received. Note that the receiver can't indicate that the material is Dolby True HD, since it has no way of knowing what it was before the player decoded it to multichannel PCM.
