It’s 2013, everything Ronda and I have is on Blu-Ray, well ok, not all but 90% is at least. The surround sound system Keystone installed is the Sony Bravia DAV-DZ170, it’s DVD only which doesn’t bother me except the receiver has NO INPUTS. 
Good grief you’d think this was an Apple product not to include an HD source for an HD screen, sheeesh.
This doesn’t mean I can’t install a Blu-Ray player, it just means we would have to listen to it on the flat screen TV and not the sound system. This is their top of the line full timer rig and they go cheap on the entertainment system, well, at least it’s not Jensen but come on we can’t watch 90% of our discs?
I’m calling the dealer who will tell me that this is what's installed, too bad and I get that but this cheap ass system has no inputs so I can’t even install my own Blu-Ray player without buying their upgraded product which can’t be purchased separately, you have to buy the entire surround system including the craptastic speakers.
No Gen-II Remote control and now no Blu-Ray, nuts! These are small things but considering what we paid they add up. I’ll be calling tomorrow and asking to swap out the NON-HD Sony for something built AFTER 2008…. doubt I’ll get it so this will be a $350.00 cost if we want to watch our movie collection. Kinda frosts me a bit…
EDIT: Forgot to mention, we love the rig!! Negatives aside the rig is awesome!

Well, even the Redwood doesn't come with one and the comparable model is $10,000 more. What can ya do...
So, how is the stereo currently getting it's audio input from the TV?
The Bravia TV has an optical out that goes to the only input on the receiver. All others are outputs since it has DVD built in.
Since the TV feeds it installing a Blu-Ray player to the TV HDMI should work since the TV will output the audio to the receiver.
