I don't care about a second video output, but what if I wanted to get audio out of the "audio out" on the player? He said it wasn't possible, so I didn't buy it.. But still, I wasn't really convinced it could be that way.. Is it true?

Oh, are HD-DVDs on the market?

Best bet is to wait for a player to support HDMI 1.3. HD-XA2 will be the first.

Anyway, HDMI carries both a digital video and audio signal on the same cable. That is your audio out. You need a get a receiver that supports HDMI. Get yu Dolby TrueHD as well.
