Even if players were full spec 1.3 compliant that doesn't guarantee you can send the signal to a receiver for decoding, as this that can only be done if the DVD (BluRay or HD-DVD) discs were mastered in Basic mode. If they contain interactive features, they're in Advanced mode, so that's ALL HD-DVDs and as so will BluRay once they adopt (Profile v1.1) interactive.
Which means 'HDMI Learning Center' were right to advise that you should make sure your player can do the audio decoding.
