Answer
If your receiver doesn't have HDMI you can't add it. Any device that did it would be a "kludge" and likely almost as expensive as trading the receiver for one with HDMI.
But it only matters if you have a real need for 7.1 sound (which is still relatively rare). For 5.1 sound you can connect the Blu-ray player via digital coax or optical (whichever the player has .. it' doesn't matter which) ... and run the HDMI for video only direct to the HDTV.
If you have discrete analog outputs (multiple RCA ports on the player (some do) you can also use them to connect to the analogous inputs on the receiver (if it has them). This would be an alternative to optical/coax.

If I buy a Blu-Ray home theater system, do I need to buy a receiver?

I want to purchase a Blu-ray 5.1 home theater system. If i buy one of these, do i need to buy a receiver? Can I use my other devices such as a ps3, or antenna with it? Do I somehow connect my other devices with a HDMI cable or something, or use a special cable to take advantage of the surround sound.
The system I'm looking at is this one, http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11653116&search=home+theater&Mo=1&cm_re=1_en-_-Top_Left_Nav-_-Top_search&lang=en-US&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Sp=S&N=5000043%204294967156&whse=BC&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntk=Text_Search&Dr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ne=5000001+4000000&D=home+theater&Ntt=home+theater&No=0&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1 . Can you give me some deatils about this?
Answer
Most of the Blu-Ray Home Theater systems include a BluRay drive built into a skinny receiver.
Most of these - are glorified disk players with attached speakers. They are NOT designed to be the center hub of a HT system.
The crappy ones have left/right analog input. This only works from a CD player or a MP3 player.
Better units have a single optical input. These ... are halfway decent because most HDTV's have optical outputs which you can feed to this input to get 5.1 sound from whatever you plug into the TV.
The better systems have:
* Separate BluRay disk player
* Big, black receiver with lots of spare inputs
* Separate subwoofer with AC power cord to make it self powered
* 5 monitor style speakers.
These better systems cost a bit more - but are the start of a decent home theater system. The parts can be swapped out if you want something better or a part breaks.
Hope this helps.
