   I have a Blu-Ray hooked up to a 5.1 receiver with coax audio and it works   
   fine.  It will play DTS in 5.1 and DD 5.1 from standard DVDs.  But you said   
   your current receiver is underpowered for your speakers.  And it likely   
   won't do much for multi-room audio.   
      
   Almost all the Blu-Ray players I've seen manufactured recently have only   
   HDMI outputs.  You may be able to find one with a component output - perhaps   
   an older unit.  Any newer ones with component are suppose to limit vid   
   quality to 480p (or is it 480i?) on the component out anyway for copy   
   protection reasons.   
      
   So, as I said, you'd have to use a computer for Blu-Ray video for the best   
   display using the projector you mentioned as the projector doesn't have   
   HDMI.
