Receiver Hdmi Audio Processing Best Quality Option Video And Audio From Single Hdmi Output On Blu-ray Player?

Best quality option video and audio from single hdmi output on blu-ray player? - receiver hdmi audio processing

I think Blu-ray Samsung BD-P1600 (HDMI) to my Vizio HDTV through HDMI to be better able to jump off the video processing in my receiver (Pioneer 919), while that via HDMI for true HD audio connection to my receiver. I see all kinds of HDMI splitter, but appear for other purposes (ie, connect the video source 2 TV). Do you work (and) sound gets on my receiver and video to TV? Is there a solution other than the use of optical for audio?
