Yeah, thats right. But you will also find that the regular coax and optical outputs have degraded output compaired to HDMI for a couple of reasons. The first is because they can't cope with the bandwidth of the high resolution audio streams (7.1 lossless 24/96 audio for example). The other reason the output is degraded is because there is no way to impliment a secure digital chain over the coax or optical standards. HDMI can be crippled with HDCP when using high definition audio.
