You cannot enjoy true HD-audio with 3300 unless you buy a dedicated BDp OR similar.
Is Dolby True HD & DTS HD-MA available through onboard Analogue/SPDIF?

If you are looking specifically for HD audio then with your current setup you can go with other HT systems without HD audio decoding, which may turn out to be cheaper (provided you don't have any intentions to upgrade your computer in the future for HD audio)
If your TV has has optical/coaxial output you can hook it up with HT-S3300 to get upto DTS/DD. If it has HDMI output you will get everything including HD audio.
HD audio (viz. lossless) is obviously better than DTS/DD (viz. lossy).
Lcd Tv have hdmi output too!! Never heard of that.
Well so It looks like I won't be able to enjoy HD audio if I get myself a onkyo-3300. But still DTS/DD is good in its own right, no? I think I'll take my laptop to onkyo wonderland (nehru place) to test some of my mkv rips. Then I'll decide.
Alas!! I was so looking forward to enjoy HD-audio with it. I downloaded Inception iso(worth 39 gigs) specifically for that

Neither have I seen one myself.
I just stated all the possibilities, cause people don't mention details about their devices when asking questions. May be they have such TVs...who knows?
If the difference between DTS-MA/DD TrueHD audio and DTS/DD is perceivable to you, then you will not be happy. If you cannot as is the case with a lot of people I guess, then its ok to go for Ht-S3300.
You could have got small samples of HD audio from High Definition Trailers (HD) - Demo WorldAlas!! I was so looking forward to enjoy HD-audio with it. I downloaded Inception iso(worth 39 gigs) specifically for that

It will be super great if you can manage av receiver with hd audio, even if that means holding on to match the budget money gap provided not being a big one.

Bought the onkyo 3300 today. Price--23.5k (including complete installation, wall mounting etc). I got it at onkyo wonderland, CR park, New delhi. I first auditioned rhe system there and it sounded good to my ears. But when I tried to connect my dell studio 15 via hdmi to the system i couldn't get any audio from the system. They tried various hdmi wires and even pulled out a complete new avr piece for this but no luck!!! The audio just didn't come. But when the sales guy hooked my laptop to the onkyo-5300 audio came instantly. They were stumped(including me!!) They had no idea why was this happening!!
Anyways I bought the system and quickly connected it on my own(just the front and center speakers) to get a 3.1 config and connected my TS HD to it. The results are pretty good. But I am yet to test my laptop with it and I don't have a dvd/bd player as of now. So I guess I will spend today(and the night) tinkering with the various settings and trying to get my laptop work on it. Will post a brief noob review as soon as I get it completely installed(the installation guys will come on wednesday)
Update : Finally managed to get my laptop working with the system. I watched some imax clips of Dark Knight(14 gigs) and Inception (39gigs) on it and OMG!!! Pure AWESOMENESS!! I can't believe I was missing this the whole time. And this is without the rear speakers attached in. I now recommend this system to everyone out there looking for a great(and cheap) HT. Now I ain't an audiophile but I do watch movies a lot and believe if it sounds good to me then there is an 9.5/10 chance that it wil to u too ( i deducted the .5 for those acute discerning audiophiles out there
)

I'm sorry for resurrecting a 2 year old thread, but I have a problem which sort of fits into this thread. I have the Onkyo 674 receiver which has 7.1 analog inputs. However it can only process DTS and DD 5.1 through HDMI or toslink (it came out before HD audio became the standard). I am planning to build an HTPC and this will involve a MSI A75MA-G55 Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com with Realtek ALC887. It has 7.1 analog outputs.
Will I be able to hear HD audio from the HTPC through my Onkyo 674 if I connect the analog output from the motherboard to the 7.1 analog inputs in my receiver?
