Still doesn't allow TrueHD or DTS-HD though. This is what I was trying to achieve by using HDMI for those discs that have this type of audio output.

Correct. To achieve Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD or DTS-HD MA you must have a compatible source (BD Player = check), compatible connector type (HDMI = check; digital optical\coaxial = nope), and compatible reciever (Sony STRDG820 = check). I think your choice in reciever - should you make use of said formats - is a good one, OilKiller.
