It took me awhile to confirm, but the answer is yes.

As quoted from http://www.avreview.co.uk/news/article/mps/uan/1907:
"Alongside its recent new midrange launch, Onkyo has also unveiled two new budget home cinema receivers in the shape of the TX-SR576 and TX-SR506.

Both 7.1-channel models are 'simply slightly downscaled versions' of the more expensive models. Feature wise, each delivers seven channels of 130-watt power output supported by Onkyo's Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), with a trio of 1080p-capable HDMI v1.2a inputs and one output on the SR576, and a trio of 1080p-capable HDMI pass-through inputs and one output on the SR506."
Pass-through is bad. The article makes a clear distinction between the two models in this way, so you're good to go with the 576.


EDIT: In this link the author strongly implies the same thing. I am very certain that this reciever will do everything you need it to do.
