Most surround receivers or processors are going to handle all the formats.

And should do it well.  Just connect your dvd player to it via the dgital 
connection to your receiver/processor.  All you really need out of the 
player is digital sound.  The rest is superfluous.

Of course what they put on the disk is out of your control.  But the
blu-ray 
format has tons of space so there is no reason not to put it on the disk.
