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,

My Pro isn't HDMI ready and I have a OPPO /w multi-channel, too. My HDMI video is connected directly to a 60 inch screen from the OPPO. All audio sources are connected directly to my pro. My pro has a delay dial on the front panel if voices and video don't quite synch-up together. This has worked perfect in my system, too.

A side note - I demo'd the new 60 inch Sharp Elite Pro TV last week. Very noticably, it has the best picture I've ever seen. It has a proprietory refresh rate program that betters 240. The clarity and depth was stunning.
