using non-hdmi home theater system with blue ray

I have a nice McIntosh multi-channel receiver and amp setup, but it is not HDMI ready. Can I simply use it for the audio portion of my home theater and run the HDMI directly from the blue ray player to my tv? Picture from blue ray; sound from McIntosh. Any problems with that configuration?

thanks in advance,

Lets say at 4ft it is true, how many watch true 1080p material and then sit 4ft away? Answer is pretty ckear.

I would guess a lot more people may do this (especially with computers and video games) than the ones that watch it on a 720P, 90" projector TV like yourself. We can see 1080P on a 1080P TV. No debate here.

I have a 1080p Sony LcOS projector, I got rid of the 720p 3 yrs ago and have 100in screen now. I got the new one just because it fell in my lap and was too good to pass up, the 720 was just fine.

This is exactly what I'm doing. Oppo BDP-95 via 7.1 to my Krell HTS7.1 and via HDMI to my Pioneer FPJ-1. Oustanding picture and sound. Really have no reason to upgrade
