My understanding from the reports is that the HDMI Box will not be doing any decoding; instead the decoding will be done in the source, the source will output encrypted multichannel LCPM over HDMI; the HDMI Box will decrypt the multichannel LPCM, re-encrypt it using MHR, and pass it to the 598.2MM/G68/861 for decryption and processing, and output it as MHR encrypted digital to DSP speakers or as unencrypted analog to other amplifiers/speakers. Just speculation though.

561, DSP5500s, DSP5000C, analog sides and rears
