how to pass 1080p

Can you pass a 1080p signal via component or does this only work with a hdmi cable? What specs do you need to look for on a receiver to esnure it can pass a full HD signal either 1080i or 1080p?

thanks

You need to use HDMI, even DVI-D won't do 1080p.

All of the stuff that comes with the audio might be another matter as those of us who rely on an extermal DAC can't get the full digital BluRay audio over toslink or coax digital.
